Congratulations!!

DoulaNaomie.jpg

I am so glad you found me!

Hello! I am Naomie Karemi, a certified Birth & Postpartum Doula in the Leiden area. I am also a ZZP Kraamverzorgende since this year 2024!

I am passionate, dedicated, and committed to supporting you. My aim is to help you achieve a ‘blame-free’ birth by helping you create a birth story for YOU and helping you achieve one in calm, confidence, and happiness

As you get ready for all the excitement and life-changing events ahead of you, I would be honored to support you!

My supporting experience includes both hospital and home births. I support your choice of birth, be it at a hospital, home, or birthing center, with pain relief and without.

 ALL my packages are customized to your needs. If you would like to make contact about the possibilities, please email me directly

Everything is possible.

PS: My website is in English because many of my doula clients are expats, but I followed my Kraamzorg opleiding in Dutch. So I do speak Dutch (with an accent maybe) and can care for a family through their postpartum period.

POSTPARTUM WELLNESS

Would you like to sit and talk about your birth story or simply have the company of someone who understands the isolation that is parenthood/motherhood?

In this package I come over and treat you to one of the following, time allowing. A foot bath, a massage, bind your belly, show you how to baby wear, make you a light lunch the whole pamper :-). There’s even a surprise for you as extra in this package!!

Feedback is a gift. It enables you to see where you can improve and also self-check with yourself. Feedback does not have to be negative, and when you receive one it is because someone wants to give you an opportunity to reevaluate the situation
