EMPOWERED BIRTH SERVICES · EINDHOVEN
The Dutch maternity care system is unlike anywhere else. Let me help you understand it.
Caring, judgement-free support for expat families through pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period, from someone who knows how different it can feel.
Where are you right now?
I’m pregnant
Classes, birth doula support, and postpartum care.
I just had my baby
Breastfeeding help and postpartum doula care.
I’m exploring
Free breathing toolkit, videos, podcast episodes, and community.
No family nearby? That's exactly who I work with.
Most of my clients are far from parents, siblings, and old friends, figuring out a new country and a new baby at the same time. I've given birth far from home too. I know how much a steady, familiar presence matters.

“We are so grateful for Anna’s help as our lactation consultant. She was very understanding, patient, and supportive during a challenging time with our baby’s latching difficulties. Anna kindly visited us at home and gave us many practical suggestions and encouragement. While we are not yet fully exclusively breastfeeding yet, thanks to her guidance we feel much more confident and are working steadily toward that goal. Her compassion and suggestions have made a big difference for our family.”

“If you live in Noord- Brabant (Eindhoven and surrounding areas) and want to take an offline childbirth class in English, I highly recommend taking the class with @empowered.birth.services
The classes taught are very detailed, creative and easy to understand to increase your insight into giving birth with your partner.
Thank you for a nice passionate Birth Class Anna!”

“Being an expat in Eindhoven with no family support, having Anna Latham by my side in the early postpartum days was a true blessing. She prepared very nutritious meals that helped me recover well, supported me through my breastfeeding journey with so much patience, and gave me the care and confidence I needed as a new mom. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to any new parent.”
