Welcome to Dana Centrum: Holistic Midwifery in region Utrecht-Hilversum-Amersfoort

We are unique in what we do. We distinguish ourselves by offering more than regular care. We go beyond medical checks, we help and support you and your partner in the wonderful journey to parenthood.

We do this by working with a small team of experienced midwives and investing in pregnancy consultations, which we take plenty of time for. These take three times as long with us compared to regular care.

Your partner is involved in all consultations, so he/she feels supported and knows what is to come. By knowing you/you well, we know exactly what you want and don’t want. We need few words and are completely attuned to each other. This care benefits the delivery and provides a solid foundation on parenthood and ensures the best possible start for your baby.

In addition, you will receive customized sessions with us through the unique treatment method Integral Pelvic Therapy, developed by the founders of Dana Center. IPT teaches you to feel in!to your body and prevents ruptures or tearing in childbirth.

All of this will ensure that you face pregnancy, delivery and maternity with confidence!

We won’t leave you alone

In regular care, it is set up so that if a medical indication arises during delivery, there is a transfer to the staff at the hospital. We will stay with you. We translate your wishes and in this way ensure continuity of care. This is proven effective in preventing premature births and interventions. Actually, we are midwives and doula in 1!

In addition, you will see the same midwives throughout your pregnancy, delivery and maternity. We work in a small team of experienced midwives so you know who is with you when you go into labor. They are trained as IPT therapists and work according to our method with Embodied Consent. This prevents overstepping your boundaries at all times!
