Doula Support

emotional, physical, and informational support for pregnancy and childbirth in Brussels

Prenatal Yoga

coming soon —

Hi

My name is Laura (she/her) — I’m a medical anthropologist (MSc), birth doula, and yoga teacher. Based in Brussels, I offer emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy and childbirth. This care is offered in both French and English. 

Passionate about birth from a young age, I started my professional doula training in 2021 with the BiA Doula Training program in Amsterdam. Since then, I have worked on and off as a doula, taking a year off to dig even deeper into topics surrounding childbirth by studying medical anthropology. More recently, driven by my passion for embodiment practices, I became a yoga teacher and I am currently in the process of specialising in prenatal yoga — hoping to add this to my offerings very soon.

My deep love for birth, care, and motherhood is at the centre of my work. I believe that everyone has the right to feel held, heard, and respected in these times of intense transition. The way I see it, my role as doula is to offer you continuous and compassionate care as you navigate this time of intense physical and emotional changes. .

Happy international women’s day — in Belgium 10-30% of women experience childbirth as a traumatic life event because of the care they received (1). Although I am proud to be a doula and to care for women and birthing people during childbi

I gravitated towards birthwork because I wanted to give women and people giving birth the chance to claim that moment back for themselves. Because I saw and read about so many women who felt like they had been robbed of the experience of giving birth
I am opening up my doula services for the Brussels area — if you're pregnant and you want that extra little bit of support – whether that'd be emotional, physical, or informational support – hiring a doula might just be the thing fo
"Birth is movement" (Kitzinger, 2000). Whether it is your walking, dancing, floating, and squatting or your baby's navigating of your birth canal — birth is movement. And while some labouring parents might welcome stillness, it shoul

Oops I actually have not introduced myself on here yet. So here it goes: My name is Laura and I'm a birth doula, medical anthropologist (MSc), and - as of 2 weeks ago - a yoga instructor. I have been passionate about birth since I was about 18 years
“Childbirth is (or may be) one aspect of the entire process of a woman’s life, beginning with her own expulsion from her mother’s body, her own sensual suckling or being held by a woman, through her earliest sensations of clitoral e
I’m coming here again to share the news (again) that I am taking bookings for the first half of 2025. Having taken a break from doula-ing for a year in order to study medical anthropology (specifically birth anthropology - duh…), I am ba
