ABOUT

ABOUT ME

Hello, I’m Florence. I‘m a family doctor in Belgium and a doula in the Bay Area. I’m the proud mum of a 1.5 year old girl and I loved being pregnant and becoming a mum. I’m a nature and cook lover and passionate about well-being. As a doula with a medical background, I accompany women and families during this incredible moment of life that is the perinatal period. My goal is to nurture and educate families so that they gain the energy, self-confidence and knowledge needed to nurture their baby.

SERVICES

I accompany women and families during the perinatal period.

PRIVATE CHILDBIRTH & POSTPARTUM PREPARATION CLASSES

I offer personalized online or at home prenatal sessions to prepare you for the birth and the postpartum. During the sessions, we talk about childbirth, techniques to cope with pain and to speed up labor, birth plan, breast/bottle feeding, baby care, postpartum and postpartum plan.

POSTPARTUM DOULA SUPPORT

After the birth, I provide physical, emotional and educational support to families at home. I support them with breast/bottle feeding and with baby care (changing, dressing, bathing, etc). I give tips on how to soothe babies, how to carry them and how to improve their sleep. If needed, I prepare healthy snacks and nourishing meals and I take care of the newborn when the parents want to rest.

"Peaceful and confident pre and postpartum with Florence.

I gave birth to my second son in the Bay Area, far away from my family and the French medical system that I had benefited from for the arrival of my first child.

Before the birth, Florence and I reviewed the themes of childbirth, positions to facilitate the arrival of the baby, breastfeeding, and postpartum, during sessions well documented and scientific. This helped me to apprehend the D-day with serenity. Florence is always ready to answer questions and her training as a doctor in Belgium makes her a doula who is very knowledgeable and very up to date on the physiology of childbirth.

My delivery went well and Florence came to take care of me as soon as I got home from the hospital. I particularly liked her emotional support, her medical view of the baby’s health that reassured us and gave us direction. Florence cooked a meal for us each time she came, played with my oldest child, tidied up the kitchen, cleaned the baby’s laundry, and made sure that I was perfectly settled to start breastfeeding.

I am very happy to have been supported during this second postpartum, a real ray of sunshine!"
