Doula

Doula guidance at Stralende Mama

Hoe fijn zou het zijn om begeleiding te krijgen tijdens je zwangerschap en de geboorte. Van iemand die vertrouwd is en luistert naar jouw wensen en jou en je geboortepartner ondersteunt. Iemand die met diverse culturen werkt. Iemand die vanuit haar hart en intuïtie werkt. 

That you get help from someone who knows what you want and who listens to what you feel and who stays with you until after the first hours of delivery. A Doula supports the mother and her birth partner physically and mentally and then as broadly as possible. There are many layers involved. Every person is unique and special. 

What is and does a Doula do?

“Serving woman, helping woman, sister”

The word Doula comes from Ancient Greek. The word 'Doula' means 'serving woman, helping woman'. A doula is now referred to as a pregnancy and delivery coach. In the past you always had 'sisters' next to you in the broadest sense of the word to support the delivery. In some cultures this is still quite normal.

Een doula is een ervaren en kundige vrouw, die tijdens de zwangerschap met jullie kennis komt maken en samen bespreekt wat jullie wensen ten aanzien van de bevalling zijn. Als doula geef je praktische en emotionele ondersteuning aan de zwangere vrouw én haar partner tijdens de zwangerschap en de geboorte. En indien gewenst ook voor na de geboorte. Ook ben ik een post partum Doula en kan als geboorte behandelaar jou masseren op therapeutische wijze aan huis. Heb je geen (geboorte)partner, dan kan een Doula ook juist ondersteuning bieden waar nodig. Samen kun je dan op zoek gaan naar jouw diepste wensen.

Mocht jij iets anders willen dan de hier omschreven pakketten, dan kunnen wij iets op maat creëren. Mijn doel is om jou een goed gevoel te geven en samen op zoek te gaan naar een mooie, persoonlijke begeleiding op maat. Ook werk ik som met een back-up Doula om er zeker van te zijn dat er altijd iemand bij de geboorte is. Veel is bespreekbaar.

Rebozo ceremony closing ritual

After the delivery, take a moment to lovingly close the pregnancy and birth of your baby. Just a few hours completely for yourself and come to yourself. It is recommended to do this about 6 weeks after giving birth. Even if the need is still there after years to undergo this, you could certainly still do it. This is given by two South American women. Women who have also become mothers themselves and who also experience the purpose of this so valuable. A must for every pregnant woman.

It's a closing ritual originally from Mexico, so how much better can it be to be able to apply this to the moms who want some time for themselves. And possibly want to give the time before the birth and the delivery itself a place.
Everything that is released is ok, it can be there. You can be there. You have done something wonderful, wonderful and magical. You may have undergone a transformation. Being able to get pregnant and then give birth. That's such a great thing. And no matter how it went, it's always nice to honor and close it. When you give birth, you give everything and a lot opens up and you let go. The goal of this is to come back to yourself completely in all areas. Both metal and physical. You may go back to work afterward and then you'll be better off giving in to the outside world again.

I was able to teach and give this closing ritual from a Mexican birth worker who has received all the knowledge from her relatives. So word of mouth. In Mexico you will be cared for by family for the first 40 days after the birth. You need this time to bond with your child(s). After this, the closing ritual is applied so that you can step outside again. This is a woman who works so lovingly that you not only get the material to pass on, but you also get the touch and the love. These are certainly elements that will be discussed. Last year I really wanted to get pregnant when I did the course and it didn't work out. Been busy for quite some time. I asked her with her magical hands to massage me and perform a miracle. Well you can guess it, month after I was pregnant ;-)

Even if it may not have gone quite the way it could have gone and you have suffered a miscarriage or loss of your baby. So for processing this loss, this ritual also lends itself well.
