Kim is one of the best investments I ever made. My birth was very intense, fast and could have gone a totally different way if I gave into the fear, pain or all the unknown. She kept me grounded with exactly the energy I needed when I brought my daughter into the world. More than the event of birth, she does amazing work, especially for first time parents BEFOREHAND: helping you prepare in a very caring, thorough, patient, knowledgeable and professional manner. My partner and I really enjoyed this. Very emotionally intelligent and supportive, She is an angel and I hope I can birth all my babies with her, should I be so lucky to have more. Thank you Kim! Xxx

As a father, I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the support and guidance that Kim provided during my partner's pregnancy and birth. She went above and beyond to ensure that we were both prepared for the birth, teaching us about different techniques and coping mechanisms to use during labor.
During the birth, Kim was an absolute rock for both me and my partner. Her calm and reassuring presence helped us both feel more relaxed and in control of the situation. Her practical support, like suggesting different positions and massaging my partner's back, was invaluable.
But what really touched me about Kim was the way she made me feel included and empowered throughout the entire process. As a father, it can be easy to feel like a bystander during the birth, but she actively encouraged me to be involved and helped me find ways to support my partner.
Above all, I am grateful for the way Kim made the entire experience feel more human and personal. She created a safe and supportive environment that allowed us both to fully embrace the moment and welcome our child into the world with love and joy.
We could not have done it without her, and I would highly recommend her to any father-to-be.
Included and empowered

Our experience with Kim has been everything we needed and much more. As a partner and as a father I cannot fully express the sense of gratidute towards Kim as she supported my wife through the birth of our second child.
It took a while for us to find the right doula, and we knew we had a match the moment we met Kim. From the first moment she guided us in going with the flow of the events, never panicking and accepting what the pregnancy and the labour brought us. Before the delivery she helped us focus on the essential connection between mother, father and baby. On the night of the delivery, Kim worked her magic in full. She created a great atmosphere and then provided much needed calmness in the room, allowing my partner to be relaxed thanks long massage first, and then fully engaged with the delivery of our second son.
As we look back to the birth, we are filled we so much joy for how it went, and a lot of it is thanks to Kim. She has a way to bring harmony in the room, creating a calming atmosphere and guiding you towards the welcoming of your new baby in such a magnificent way. We would definitely recommend Kim, she’s a natural and helps the mother but also the father.
Everything we needed

Phew, Kim is so loving and gentle during the massage. I really needed this. She also very kindly lets you know that you can say if there’s anything you’d like done differently, and because of her approach, you feel comfortable actually saying it. So nice ❤️. After the birth, she made capsules from my placenta. On her own initiative, she connected the two umbilical cords into a beautiful symbol. I got emotional seeing it. "Forever connected"... I had twins, so this was incredibly meaningful to me. I feel like the capsules help me stay balanced. When I don’t take them, I feel a bit more unsteady. It could also be because I’m in week 6 now, and the babies are crying more, and I’m naturally getting more tired with the broken sleep, but still, haha.
Balanced postpartum

It’s hard to find the right words to capture just how much Kim’s and Natalie’s support meant to us in the journey of becoming parents. The sessions we had with them both before the birth really grounded us and helped us prepare, in a non rushed, supportive way. We really felt listened to, in absolutely non- dogmatic manner. These conversations helped us to slow down, in the middle of all the frantic preparations for our first kid, and to feel what was about to happen.
As a birthing parent, Kim spoke with and for me with the medical team and supported me from the early labour to delivery. I honestly could not imagine doing it without her. She joined me in my vulnerability in a gentle, raw, knowing and non-patronising way and helped me meet my strentgh. She also supported my partner thoughout the process, which he found invaluable. Non-birthing parents also need support in this magical and monumental transition, and I was glad my partner was held by Kim’s loving presence. Should we ever choose to have another child, we know we would be reaching out to Kim and Natalie again.

Kim is a gentle, kind woman. The placenta capsules were made with love and care, and you can see that in every detail. I also received a beautiful print of the placenta along with the umbilical cord shaped into a heart. The placenta print is truly stunning, and I want to frame it. I’ve had a very positive experience with the capsules and can definitely recommend them! They give me love, warmth, and a lot of energy. I would recommend it to everyone.
Warmth and energy
Jessica Schuddeboom
Our home birth was the most special and powerful experience I have ever had. Kim was an essential support, for both me and my partner. I cannot—and do not want to—imagine the birth of our son without her.
It’s hard for me to put into words what Kim has meant to us... and always will mean.
But her care, love, and attention, her support, and her objectivity—both before, during, and after—have made our birth journey a forever positive and heartwarming experience.
Loving and powerful

As a first time mother, living in a new country with my partner, having a doula instead of present family was a choice I don’t regret for a second. Already from the first introduction, Kim’s warm personality made me feel so safe with her. To meet a woman that you can see yourself be with you in the most intimate moment of your life is rare, and Kim has that gift.
For me it was incredibly important that she also saw my partner and chemistry in our little birth team was just right. Her knowledge, empathy, and energy made us feel nothing but calm before, during and after the birth. I was also very happy Kim understood us as an interracial family and that we could communicate great in English. If you are looking for a down-to-earth, genuine and hands-on doula - Kim is the right choice! I will definitely contact Kim with our next child ❤️.
Down-to-earth & genuine
Therese Sahlin
Kim came on my path to becoming a mother and I am grateful in so many ways to have been blessed with her support and love. The knowledge, care and understanding Kim brought to my birthing journey were invaluable. Being an expat abroad and not having family here to support during the prenatal and postnatal period was on my mind before becoming pregnant.
When I met Kim I felt held and listened to, which allowed me to confidently step into my role as a mother, trusting my partner and my body, mind and soul to keep me safe along the way. We have become friends and I wouldn’t have welcomed my first child into the world any other way.
Invaluable support
Hannah Whitely
Kim supported my wife and me as a doula during a very special home birth, and we are so grateful she was there.
With her gentle energy—and strength when needed—she guided us through each contraction and led us wonderfully to the beautiful birth of our son. For me as a partner, it was also incredibly helpful to have Kim’s support, both emotionally and practically, with very helpful tips on how to support my wife.
Even in the lead-up to the birth and afterward, Kim is always there for you with enthusiasm, as an incredibly skilled doula, a fellow parent, and simply as a very dear friend
Emotional and practical
Stef vd Eerenbeemt
Kim was very personable and quick to respond to all my queries about the placenta encapsulation process and post delivery capsule care and intake.
She is always contactable and the collection of the placenta and delivery of the capsules were very quick. The painting of my placenta and the picture she took of it before processing it was beautiful and definitely a good momento for keepsake. Will definitely recommend her service!
Quick and personable
Jasmine Sim
I wanted to have my placenta encapsulated, and my midwife referred me to Kim. After our first email contact, we met in person to go over the encapsulation process. She took all the time needed to answer my questions and was very open about her own experiences.
After my daughter was born, she picked up the placenta from my home, and 1.5 days later, she delivered the capsules back. Everything was neatly packaged and included instructions. She was very involved during the usage, and I could always call or message her if I had questions.
Kim is a very kind, calm, and strong woman, and she makes you feel like she does everything she can to make your moment count. I would recommend her to everyone!
Thank you, Kim!
Very involved
Nienke Still
Kim is very supportive, attent and gentle, not just during the birth, but also during my pregnancy and the postpartum period. Every consult with her felt like a (couples) therapy and she made us feel so much better, helping reduce our fears, shames and doubts. During my hospital birth she stayed with us the whole time (at least 12 hours and came at night in the biggest snowstorm in recent history!) and helped everywhere she could. Made sure that not just me, but my man was also cared for.
I had the luxury of having a very supporting partner, but if someone doesn't have one (or just like me needs that extra feminine power next to her), you definitely need Kim! She will help you through this magical, but tuff as hell rollercoaster. She is so sweet, we were really lucky to bump into her. Thank you soooo much! We love you Kimmiiii!”

I recommend everyone to have a "Kim" during pregnancy and birth. Everybody needs a Kim! My contact with Kim felt close and involved. Great tips during conversations, allowing me to enjoy the pregnancy and the anticipation of the birth even more consciously. It’s such a gift to provide yourself and your partner with Kim’s care alongside the medical support. In my opinion, it’s so necessary. Nothing but love and praise!
I look back on a very warm and caring involvement. Even during moments in pregnancy, I appreciated being able to share things with Kim, and I received warm, wise words in return. So wonderful! I recommend all my friends who are yet to give birth, and other women as well, to have a Kim—but especially this Kim!
For everyone
Eva Rijcken
Kim was very involved with us throughout the entire pregnancy—a period that, in my opinion, is very important to be able to share. She consciously tuned into what we found important, and that gave us many insights. Personally, I really appreciated the prenatal conversations, her presence during the birth, and the postnatal moments.
Her presence gave us calm and a lot of confidence. Her techniques during the contractions and her decisive communication ensured that I had a positive birth experience. I would definitely recommend her as a doula, and we would not want to be without her presence... :)
Peace and confidence
