You want to feel ready for birth.
But the more you read, watch, and hear… the more overwhelmed you feel. And somehow, you're still not sure how to connect all the dots.
You know you want to do this right
You want to dive in but you enter a world of overwhelm
💭 Your head is full of conflicting advice.
💭 You keep thinking: “What if I miss something important?”
💭 You start reading or watching something… and then stop halfway through.
💭 You’re not sure what you actually need - and what you can let go of.
💭 You feel like it’s your job to figure this all out, but it’s too much.
So you try harder.
The reason you feel overwhelmed is because you went in without structure.
You’re trying to prep in a way that doesn’t fit you.
Too much info. Too many opinions. Too little structure.So you end up overthinking, second-guessing, or doing nothing at all. You stay in a loop of "I should do something" → "but what?" → "never mind." Which makes you feel unprepared = adding to that feeling of unease.
And I get it. I have been there.
When I was preparing for birth, I went through thick books and signed up for long, detailed courses. But instead of clarity, I ended up overwhelmed - drowning in information without a clear path toward what I truly needed: focus, and a plan I could feel proud of.
In the end, I was stuck in that no-man’s land between “I want to...” and “but I don’t know how to make this work for me.”
So I told myself: I’ll just hope for the best and see what happens.
That’s exactly why we need a new way of thinking. Not a course, but a structured approach that helps you move from overwhelm to confidence - in 5 simple steps.
The solution isn’t doing more. It’s doing it differently.
You don’t need a massive course, dozens of videos, or a perfect plan. You just need a clear start - one that makes space for your way of preparing. You’ll learn:
✔ What actually matters for a positive birth experience
✔ How to make choices that fit you (without needing to know everything)
✔ How to get your partner and team on board
✔ How to practice and build real trust in yourself
✔ How to make a plan that works - even if birth goes differently that you expect
Instead adding more noise, I bring structure to your thinking - so you can start to shape a story that’s truly yours to own.
✔ Structure for the journey you're already on
✔ Knowing how to apply the knowledge you already have
✔ A process to write a birth plan that feels 100% your own
✔ Confidence that you don’t need to know everything - just what matters to you.
The pieces are already there - I simply help you connect those dots.
You are 100% capable of feeling prepared, you just need some help connecting the dots.
After finishing, you have all the ingredients to take ownership for a more positive experience.

👋 About me
I started Birth Guides because birth preparation felt way too overwhelming.
As a researcher and designer, I create tools that help you feel ready - without drowning in information you don’t need.
Today, my work is recommended and used by midwifery practices across the Netherlands - supporting parents in feeling more confident and at ease with birth prep.
