Birth Doula & Postpartum Care
Amsterdam area

I am not a medical professional, and I do not want to be. I don't perform clinical checks, I don't give medical advice, and I never comment on clinical decisions — those belong to your midwife and gynaecologist, who carry a responsibility I don't.

What I do is different, and it fits alongside theirs. I make sure you understand what is being offered and have room to ask about it. I make sure your care team understands what matters to you. And I stay, through the long hours when there is nothing clinical to be done and no one should be alone.

"I honestly don't think my birth experience would have been as positive without Ombretta."

— Ben, first time mom, home water birth

As your birth doula, I stay.

I remain your constant — from the first contraction to the first moments after your baby is born.

"From the very first seconds, Ombretta somehow felt me.

She understood what I needed without me having to explain anything.

She knew when to speak, when to be silent, when to touch me,

when to encourage me and when simply to be there."
— Daria, first-time mother, hospital birth

My postpartum care brings Ayurvedic wisdom into your own home, your own bed, your own space — because your recovery matters as much as your birth.

Deep physical healing is the priority in the first weeks. But a whole different set of challenges begins when people stop bringing food, asking how you feel, and offering to run errands. That is where my support as a postpartum doula often starts.

​If you'd like to explore this, reach out. It all starts with a call, to see whether you feel at home with me.
