Hello! I'm Valentina

Dear Mama,

Are you going through pregnancy and motherhood in a foreign country?

Do you wish you had someone to guide you through the cultural differences and support you emotionally, all the way?

Are you ready to trust your intuition and embrace your motherhood journey?

I know it can be scary and overwhelming,

but you don’t need to do it alone!

As a mother living abroad, navigating the journey of pregnancy and motherhood can often feel overwhelming and isolating. Many women find themselves in a foreign country, facing the exciting yet daunting experience of bringing new life into the world without the familiar support of family or close friends.

If you are a mother-to-be or a new mother feeling alone and unsure, you are not alone in your journey.

I understand firsthand the challenges that come with living in a new culture, especially when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth. As a foreign mother who gave birth in the Netherlands without a support network, I experienced the feelings of isolation and uncertainty that can arise during this transformative time.
I realized the importance of having a doula—someone who not only provides education and support but also bridges the gap between cultural differences and language barriers and help connect and build a community.

My goal is to offer a safe space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
As a holistic doula, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive support that goes beyond traditional pregnancy courses. I will be by your side, guiding you through the emotional and physical aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum life. I understand that you may feel a disruption in the continuity of care between midwives, other medical professionals and your own needs. My goal is to smooth the disruptions and ease transitions, ensuring you receive personalized care tailored to your unique situation.

I will be by your side, cheering you on and boosting your confidence to trust yourself and your intuition throughout your motherhood journey. Together, we will navigate any challenges, celebrating the joys and milestones along the way.

You deserve to feel supported, informed, and empowered during this incredible chapter of your life.

the doula 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 (where I lived happily until a certain amazing Dutchman came along) to now calling the Netherlands home.

I am a certified birth, postpartum, and pregnancy loss doula, active since 2021 in Hilversum, 't Gooi and areas around 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.

S.O.
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.
