Congratulations! Whether you are expecting a baby, or are already enjoying the early days of parenthood, Great Expectations.nl offers courses that are practical, fun and informative.

My aim is to help you bridge the gap between the Dutch approach to pregnancy, birth and parenthood and that of your own culture. Last year alone I taught 35 different nationalities, including many Dutch Mums and Dads. Each group is different and exciting, a melting pot of shared experiences and expectations. My own experience of birth and raising my children outside my home country helps me to empathise with parents who may sometimes struggle with a healthcare system that is not their own.

I hope to contribute to a positive experience of having your baby in Holland, by offering support and information based on the concept of informed choice. Attending a course on childbirth, baby massage or Emergency First aid for babies and toddlers with Great Expectations.nl will also help you establish a support network that is crucial when you live away from family and friends.

I am a fully qualified antenatal, baby massage, and First Aid instructor. I hope to meet you one day.

Best wishes
