Welcome to Doula Joyce

Having a baby is an exciting time for pregnant women and their partners. It can also be a time of feeling apprehensive and anxious about what is to come and fear of the unknown, especially when it is your first pregnancy.

I am trained as a midwife and have assisted in over hundreds of births. I am a mother of 3 beautiful children and as such feel qualified and confident to assist you in the joys and beauty of child birth and the period directly after (the post partum period).

Doula Joyce provides maternity care. What does that mean? In the Netherlands we have maternity care for the first 8 days after your birth. Maternity care is aimed at providing care & support and providing instructions & information. The maternity nurse is there to create peace, to promote the recovery of the maternity woman and the integration of the baby into the family. The maternity nurse also assists the midwife during the birth.
