YOUR BODY, YOUR HEART & YOUR JOURNEY AT THE CENTER
Welcome to this space where your questions, emotions, and wishes are received with warmth. Here you can simply be, feel safe and seen, as you move through pregnancy, birth, and the first days with your baby. As we walk this path together, I’ll gently hold up a mirror to your remind you of the strength, wisdom, and intuition already within you.
"Giving birth is something a woman does in her body, not in her head"
Pam England
Dear Mama,
I am Virginia, a birth doula, breastfeeding councelor & practitioner based in The Hague. I walk alongside mothers and families in both Spanish and English, offering a steady, caring presence.
Pregnancy, Birth, & Postpartum are deeply personal and transformative experiences. Whether you’re hoping to conceive, already expecting, or adjusting to life with your newborn, this is a time for you to feel heard, and connected to both your body and your baby. Because together, you & your baby are the best team.
I'd love to hear your story in a no-binding chat and explore how I may support as you step into this new chapter of motherhood.

Maternidad: sus luces y sombras
Las horas lentas,las noches en vela bajo las estrellas.
El tiempo, demasiado rápido;
las siestas a medias tintas.
La ironía del silencio,
el alma en tránsito.
La desesperación en el llanto,
mi cuerpo en duelo.
Real motherhood is shared.

Sometimes words aren’t enough to express what the body feels.
They get stuck, living quietly within.
Maybe you don’t need to explain it, just listen to yourself, give yourself time and space.
And when you’re ready, allow it to move through you: dance it, breathe it, or cry it.
Find your own way to give a voice to what lives inside you.
#grief #doulasupport
________________________________
A veces las palabras no alcanzan a expresar lo que el cuerpo siente.
Se quedan atascadas, habitando en silencio.
Quizá no necesites explicarlo, solo escucharte, darte tiempo y espacio.
Y cuando lo sientas, permitirte soltarlo: bailarlo, respirarlo o llorarlo.
Buscar tu propia forma de dar voz a eso que vive en ti.

Postpartum is not only a recovery, it’s rebirth.
It’s where you meet yourself again, softer, slower, deeper.
What did motherhood teach you about yourself? I will read you in the comments.

Birth is not the end of the journey, it’s just the beginning.
It asks everything from you, yet gives you even more in return.

![🌱 CONCEPTION
[SP version below]
Conception is more than biology, it’s energy, desire, readiness.
Sometimes it’s a spark, a miracle, a whisper of possibility, the moment your soul said yes.
Sometimes it’s a long, quiet wait.
✨ Can you still remember when you first felt it, the knowing?

Stationery has always been one of my little weaknesses ✨. I just can’t resist all the pens and notebooks lined up by size and color, it makes my heart so happy!
Last summer, I bought some beautiful papers and envelopes to share with the women I accompany, to inspire them to create their own positive affirmations. When I walk alongside you as a doula, I usually suggest a few, but what truly matters to me is that you are the one who writes, chooses, and decides which words resonate with your journey.
Back then, I only bought 7 sets, thinking it would take me a long time to use them, that I would still have plenty left by Christmas. I didn’t imagine how many women I would be sharing with.
But my wise sister told me: “Buy more. Don’t be the one to set your own limits.”
And here I am, almost a year after starting this path of serving beautiful mamas in the Netherlands, ready to go back to that little shop and buy more paper and envelopes filled with magic ✨

Las papelerías son una de mis debilidades ✨. El verano pasado compré unos papeles y sobres preciosos para inspirar a las mujeres que acompaño a escribir sus propias frases positivas.
Solo cogí 7, pensando que me durarían hasta Navidad… pero mi sabia hermana me dijo: “Compra más. No seas tú quien te pongas los límites.”

Es una gran aliada durante el parto: un recurso a tu alcance para aliviar la intensidad, relajar la mandíbula y el suelo pélvico, y expresar tanto tus deseos como tus inquietudes.

The voice connects portals.
It is a great ally during birth: a resource within your reach to ease the intensity, relax the jaw and pelvic floor, and express both your wishes and your concerns.

By now, you’ve probably heard about the rebozo.
Yes, I’ve also seen the videos showing how it can be used during labor, to ease muscle tension, help position the baby, or offer support. But its use goes far beyond birth. For me, it’s been a true discovery.
It’s not just a tool. Not just a piece of fabric.
It’s a way of caring.
The rebozo is a cotton cloth woven by the hands of Mexican artisans, who have been supporting women for generations, through their cycles, motherhood, birth, postpartum...
And the most beautiful part? It embraces both body and soul.
The rebozo relaxes, supports, adjusts, and contains.
And if you allow it, it will gently caress your story.
I’ve been lucky to learn from beautiful, generous women, Laura @tudoulaencasa, Fany @fannyjipe and Fern @fern.herbalistdoula Denys @denys.casaarcoiris Cris @cbsfisio2021 , who have shown me, with their hands, how this cloth can become an extension of the heart.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you again.
Their guidance has taught me to move slowly, with intention.
To trust in simplicity. To hold without invading.
And here I am: still practicing, making mistakes, trying again…completely in awe of the generosity of this cloth that wraps without asking anything in return.
✨ The best part? Feeling it on your body.
The rebozo doesn’t care about age, gender, or body type.
Adults, kids, tired, restless, sad, joyful...
They all fit in a rebozo.
Because seeing the rebozo in a reel is one thing...
but being held by it, that’s something else entirely.
Would you like to try it? Send me a message and we’ll set up a session at your pace, based on what you need today.

The Way We Speak to Ourselves Matters
The words we use and how we express ourselves make a difference. Speaking kindly to ourselves creates a sense of well-being and even releases oxytocin—one of the key hormones for labor and birth.
Positive affirmations and creating a calming environment are powerful tools to navigate the sweet wait of pregnancy.
Have you created your own positive affirmations? Do you have a favorite one? Share it with me in the comments!
Got some inspiration from Carmen Moreno de @thepositivebirthmethod & Mili Hill @milli.hill and her book Birth Like a Feminist.
