About me.

Nice that you are here. My name is Lauri (1984), living in Amsterdam Noord with my boyfriend Chris, son Bodi (2021) and cat Pien, at nature reserve 'het Twiske'. I can be found a lot in nature, by running or walking, or in my favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood.
I prefer to spend my free time with my family, my own family and good friends. I love to travel, discover new cultures and I prefer to be found in my favorite destination Ibiza (cliché but true).

During my pregnancy, I delved into books and devoured everything I could find about pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, focusing on a natural recovery process, with its associated treatments and rituals, the psychological care a new mother may need and all the major mental and physical changes it entails.

That was the starting signal for me to do the training to become a Birth Doula at the Doula Academy in Monnickendam with pioneering Doulas Maartje Bruning , Catharina Ooijens , Doula Denise and Jacky Bloemraad-de Boer.

After a career in fashion, design and PR, I wanted to change course and 'do something' that suits me better and is extremely meaningful.

After gaining experience, my focus now lies in postpartum care, because I believe there is still so much to gain and bring.

Who would have thought that giving birth to my son would bring me to that core? Not me!

Yet it is so, and it feels right. It was a magical period in which a fire was kindled.
And I also want to convey to you that joy and passion about your pregnancy and birth and postpartum period.

I graduated with flying colors in May 2022.

See you soon, dear mom, I can't wait to discover what I can do for you.
