Hello! I'm Valentina

Dear Mama,

Are you going through pregnancy and motherhood in the Netherlands?

Are you longing for warmth, guidance, and someone who truly understands what it’s like to walk this path in a new country?
I see you.
Becoming a mother while navigating life abroad can be both beautiful and incredibly hard. You may feel excitement and gratitude, yet also loneliness, cultural confusion, or even grief for the support you left behind.

I know, because I’ve been there.

I became a mother in the Netherlands without nearby family or a familiar village to lean on. What I learned through that experience became the heart of the care I now offer.

I provide whole-person postnatal care designed especially for international families. My support begins during pregnancy with birth preparation and emotional guidance and continues seamlessly into the fourth trimester.

My approach blends practical care with emotional holding, cultural understanding, and deep respect for your intuition.

This is not just about checking off tasks. It’s about walking beside you through the entire transition into motherhood, holding space for your questions, your identity shift, your healing, and your joy.

Whether you're navigating language barriers, missing your own mother, or just craving a gentle, informed presence, I'm here for you.

the doula and student maternity nurse behind Juno Births— supporting families as they welcome their littlest members in the Netherlands. Originally from the Prosecco hills of Italy, life has brought me from Austria to now calling the Netherlands home.

I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, active since 2021. From November 2025, I will also provide Kraamzorg (as a student) in the areas around Hilversum, 't Gooi, Amsterdam, Almere, Utrecht.

What Other Mothers Say

I had my first baby in January 2023 and Valentina was here to support me through the 3rd trimester, during all the labor and during the postpartum. She is a very thoughtful, pro active, professional and enthusiastic person. She took the time to understand my birth plan but also took in consideration the needs of my partner. She was a very important help during labor. Thanks to her and her support I now have a very pleasant memory of the birth of my son. I strongly recommend her services, she is probably the perfect doula you’ll need!

First time Mum

I would definitely recommend Valentina for her knowledge and passion.
I was looking for a pre birth course to follow during my pregnancy, something which would have helped in feeling confidence and getting an overall understanding of the whole delivery process. I loved that with Valentina we could organise the sessions at home and with flexible times. That felt intimate and private, we had the time for us and to ask any questions. The sessions were interactive and full of relevant insights. The material she prepared was personalised based on my wishes. My partner and I were very satisfied about choosing Valentina and felt stronger to go through this important moment of our lives together.

Second time Mum

My husband and I asked Valentina to be our doula for our 2nd pregnancy/delivery and she has been excellent. I needed help with processing my traumatic experience from my first delivery and make space for a positive preparation for the birth of my second and my partner was very happy to have a partner in crime in this whole process. Valentina was there every step of the way, fully dedicated to accompany us in this process and contributed to a successful positive natural birth with her calm, practice of pressure points during the delivery and her great advise. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for hypnobirthing, positive natural approach to birth and great care.

HypnoBirthing® Mum

Super positive experience with Valentina and her hypnobirthing course. He guided us and made us arrive at the moment of birth aware and with serenity, he allowed us to face that day without anxiety and taught us techniques that will be useful to us in various moments of life. We absolutely recommend her, empathetic but at the same time professional. We will definitely choose his other services in the future.
