About me

I am a certified midwife in both Europe and the US, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and a Natural Family Planning coach with the Marquette Method. With over 20 years of experience in holistic birth, I’ve worked in Belgium, France, and the US, including hospitals, private practice, and Birthing Center. ​ My husband and I moved from France to Austin, Texas, in 2012 with our two eldest children, and our youngest son was born right here in Austin. Talk about a Texan welcome! I’m also a certified Haptotherapist, having received my certification from CIRDH in 2012. Haptonomy, widely used in Europe, helps parents-to-be function as partners in parenting before birth. I’m proud to be the only practicing Haptotherapist in the US. ​ Here are some of my certifications: Certified Nurse Midwife ( EIULB 2000-2204 Bruxelles Belgium) Pre-Postnatal Aquatic Childbirth Education (Aquarius @Ostende Belgium, 2005) Haptonomy therapist Certification (CIRDH, 2012 Paris) Certified Professional Midwife (NARM 2016, US) International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (2023, US) Marquette Method NFP Teacher (2024, US) Certified Low Milk Supply Specialized Healthcare Professional (2025, US) ​ My passion for motherhood and birth drives me to help others experience a calm and stress-free birth. I love being a midwife and Lactation consultant; supporting and empowering women is my true calling. I am dedicated to guiding mothers through their breastfeeding journey. Helping them overcome challenges and ensuring they have a positive and successful experience with breastfeeding is incredibly fulfilling. ​
