Are you pregnant and need consultation from an experienced midwife, family coach and energy worker?
Do you need support in finding the right place for the birth of your child?
Do you need tips about breastfeeding?
Are you a “father to-be” and need some advice regarding how to support your partner during birth?
Many questions emerge as soon as the pregnancy test appears positive and a new chapter of life begins.
So glad that you’ve found me!
I’m Isabel. And I am happy to share my knowledge and time with you - no matter where you are in the world!
My mission is to inspire people to choose to experience gentle pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I aim to empower you with the necessary information for you to enjoy your experience.
One-on-one, I will open a trusting space for you to listen to yourself, ask me questions and receive answers, plus more!
As my colleagues at the Bumi Sehat Foundation say, “Gentle Birth Heals Mother Earth.”
May it be so. And so, it is. Every birth counts!
Why a Midwife?
Midwives support “families to-be” with an holistic approach. We are not searching for “What could go wrong.” We support the path to stay healthy. Because you aren’t sick, you’re sacred and whole. And so is your baby. This, by the way, is also really good for your wallet. Unnecessary checkups and interventions can be massively reduced!
My experience and background give me a very clear understanding as to when my competency reaches its limits and at what point I have to reach out to my colleagues or to refer you to a doctor.

IF YOU WANNA GO DEEPER - HEALING MODALITIES I OFFER:
Pregnancy, the path to become parents and especially the first year with the baby are very special. In this unique period of our lives, we want to share questions and concerns, ideas and insights with someone we can really trust and who has time for us. During my years of experience it became very clear to me that time is a crucial ingredient to build up a trustful and fruitful connection, which is the base to free communication and sharing.
I’ve created different sessions and packages for you which allow you to individually choose in which form and how much time you would like to spend with me in person and / or online.
You can be sure to be guided by me relating to your stage of pregnancy, postpartum and needs as a mother.

Testimonials
I met Isa in a Sacred Pregnancy and Conscious Birth Retreat I organized many years ago. She was very knowledgeable and skilled in midwifery, provided many stories and insights for our participating couples wanting to learn more about home and water births. I have recommended her services to many of my friends and she has always been well received. I wish she helped birth my youngest but alas, our destinies weren't aligned for it. Nevertheless, she is a powerhouse for Gentle Birthing in Palawan. We are lucky to have her on our island.
