Hi! I’m Callen, a South African mother of two, doula and coach. Together with my Dutch husband, we’ve called Belgium home for the last 7 years.
As an expat, I know that the challenges that pregnancy and motherhood can bring are heightened by being far away from familiar systems, family and friends. That’s why I have a particular heart for supporting expat families in their parenting journeys.
What I offer:
– Prenatal support in the form of 1-1 coaching, mentoring and childbirth preparation including HypnoBirthing techniques if desired.
– Extended and intensive pre-natal support for moms with high risk pregnancies or on bedrest including daily check-ins.
– Postnatal support including regular home visits for the first 1-3 months and breastfeeding consults.
– Birth Story Listening: this is a guided process based on Pam England’s work that helps to bring new insights, resolution and healing for difficult, confusing or traumatic births. Birth Story sessions can take place anytime after the birth of a baby, even years or decades later.
I work online via Zoom and in person in the Antwerp region (I am based near Turnhout). I work with both expat and local families, primarily in English.
Feel free to contact me for a no-obligation 30 minute Discovery Call.
Warm wishes,
Callen
