Birth Doula Services

A Birth Doula is someone who provides non-medical support to a pregnant woman/couple, during the pregnancy, birth and postpartum period. This support can take many forms, from the simple act of being present and holding space, to active listening, massage, acupressure, providing information and assisting in creating a birth plan. Some of the most important things a Doula does are very simple; making cups of tea, creating a warm atmosphere, for example with use of lighting and essential oils, and holding your hand when you most need comfort and reassurance. Postnatal Doula Services

The role of a Postnatal Doula is to provide both practical support and a listening ear, during the first weeks and months after the birth of your child. Freeing up your time and energy to focus on connecting with your little one. This support is always tailored to your specific needs, but think along the lines of:

*grocery shopping and running errands
*holding your baby whilst you shower
*making nutritious and delicious vegetarian snacks and meals
*vacuuming your home, loading the dishwasher and doing a load (or 5!) of laundry
*providing a non-judgmental listening ear
*accompanying you on those first walks outside with your little one, or to your first infant health checkup
*giving you a relaxing foot massage
*and of course helping out with your other child/children during this transition phase

***I feel strongly that there is often a need for this type of support right the way through the first year and even beyond! So if your baby is older than 5 weeks and you are feeling in need of some extra support please do reach out and we can discuss the possibilities.

Very pleased to receive my Birth Doula certification from my lovely mentors

We are celebrating Eowyn Castle's BiA Doula Certification! We miss her in Amsterdam, but we are happy she can put down roots in her home in Ballydehob, Ireland. Her empathetic nature and strong commitment to unconditional respect are the basis from which she supports families. She is taking clients in West Cork and surroundings.

Borstvoeding

Ik ben trots op ons
Borstvoeding
Dat geeft toch elke moeder?
Dacht mijn onwetendheid
Maar nee
Zo vanzelfsprekend is dat niet.
Ik hoor verhalen
Verhalen van vriendinnen
Van de mannen van vriendinnen
Tot een borstvoedingscursus aan toe.
En een boek:
Gemakkelijk zal het niet zijn
Gemakkelijk zal het niet worden.
Zegt het boek
Zeggen de vriendinnen.
Met trucjes en weetjes op zak
Wapen ik me met de gedachte
Dat ik echt, echt, echt mijn best ga doen
Maar als het niet lukt…
Dan lukt het niet.
Ook te gemakkelijk gezegd
zegt het boek
Zeggen de vriendinnen.
En dan
wordt meisje geboren
(Geboren... Een veel te gewoon woord voor iets onbenoembaar groots. *maar dat ter zijde)
Dus
Meisje wordt geboren
En hapt aan
Als een zuignap trekt ze vacuüm
Met een kracht
Die onmogelijk is bij zoiets kleins.
Ze drinkt.
Ze drinkt!
We doen het
We doen borstvoeding.
Heel veel borstvoeding.
En nee
Nee
Het valt me niet mee
Ook al gaat alles
Precies zoals zou moeten.
Want toch
steekt de pijn weken lang als ze aanhapt
Zitten we dag en nacht overeind
Paraat
Om te leren
Om te oefenen
Te voeden en gevoed te worden.
Maar we doen het
Het lukt ons
Het is ons gegeven.
Ze drinkt
Eerst ook ’s nachts maar nu nog enkel overdag
Ze drinkt
Thuis maarookinhetparkdetrehetrestaurantinhethotelachterindeautoophetterras
Ik overwin de schaamte
We doen het!Borstvoeden

Waarop meisje groeit.
Waarop meisje leeft.
En daarom ben ik trots
Gewoon een beetje trots
Al drie maanden lang.
