Midwife in Auderghem

Sage-femme

My background I grew up with my feet in the Mediterranean. I left the south of France to study in Brussels. My first big trip. And what a journey! After graduating in 2005, I decided to leave for India, backpacking, after a few replacements as a midwife in hospitals in France. I joined an Indian midwife in a small village of Karnataka in the south of India. During several weeks, I observe her...I learn...I listen... I began to develop a finesse of clinical observation. Being in the "middle of nowhere", with no analysis laboratory, no ultrasound and no fetal monitoring, forced me to adapt without concession: to use my eyes, my ears, my hands, to smell the odors. Senses that I had forgotten in my native West due to the blissful ease of access to medical science. My path will lead me to meet almost all of India and Nepal. I returned to Belgium with a heart full of stars to start working in hospitals as a midwife.

Venue à ce métier, un peu par hasard, je me suis prise de passion pour le métier de sage-femme (SF) en assistant à mon premier accouchement dans une maternité marocaine. Après avoir exercé pendant deux ans au Maroc, j'ai refait mes études en Belgique afin de pouvoir y pratiquer. J'ai obtenu le diplôme belge en 2014, ce qui m'a permis, dès cette année-là, d'intégrer l'ASBL Au Fil De La Naissance (AFDN). En 2017, j'ai complété ma formation par un Master en Santé Publique et j'enseigne à présent dans une école de SF.

Travailler chez Amala symbolise pour moi le respect et la défense de chaque femme/famille dans la profondeur et la puissance de ses compétences uniques. J’ai ainsi le désir de vous accompagner dans cette perspective globale, intégrant toutes les dimensions de l’être humain (physiques, émotionnelles, spirituelles, sociales …), tout en alliant connaissances scientifiques actuelles et respect profond pour la physiologie. Axer l’ensemble de l’accompagnement sur le développement de votre autonomie et de votre bien-être est pour moi une priorité.

Passionate about physiology, I enjoy helping women learn to trust their bodies and discover the amazing powers that their bodies can bring to the birth experience. The comprehensive follow-up allows me to establish a real bond of trust with couples, which is essential to prepare for a beautiful birth. I am also a mother of two young children. I am trained in birth preparation (by Bernadette De Gasquet, Ingrid Bayot and Julie Bonapace), in sexology and in physiological babywearing.

Comme sage-femme, j’ai une grande confiance en la vie et en la naissance. L’intuition des femmes, la sagesse de leurs bébés sont pour moi des guides dans mon travail, mais aussi dans ma vie. J’aime rendre aux familles leur pleine autonomie en leur laissant l’espace pour qu’elles puissent être actrices de leur santé. J’aime accompagner les femmes et les couples dans cette période de grande transformation afin qu’iels puissent vivre ces changements avec sérénité. Mon amour et ma grande passion pour mon métier me poussent à entourer les familles avec beaucoup de bienveillance et de douceur. Ayant travaillé quatre ans en salle d’accouchement, à la maternité, en consultation prénatale et en service de grossesses à hauts risques, je bénéficie d’une expérience globale et multiple. J’ai également eu la chance de me former dans l’Approche Quantique ainsi qu’en Rebozo. Je suis par ailleurs formée en haptonomie, en préparation affective à la naissance, en préparation prénatale aquatique et en massage harmonisant de la femme enceinte. Je proposerai bientôt des rituels de soins post partum. En rejoignant l’équipe Naissance d’Amala, je suis heureuse de pouvoir vous accompagner en vous proposant ce suivi global, respectueux du processus physiologique de votre grossesse, de votre accouchement et du post-partum. Je tiens à préserver l’intimité de cette naissance à venir et vous donner confiance en ce que vous savez et sentez. Il est important pour moi de m’adapter à vos croyances et à votre rythme.

Passionate as well as intrigued by the world of birth since my childhood, it is with joy that at the age of 17 I decided to become a midwife. After studies that took me to Morocco and Finland to discover other ways of practicing, I first worked in several hospitals in Brussels, then in the associative sector with more fragile populations. As a midwife, I accompany the future parents in this unique and initiatory adventure that is birth by listening to their specific needs, their strengths, their doubts and their sensitivities. Through this follow-up, I wish to allow them to become actors of their childbirth while building a framework of softness, benevolence and security. I am trained in comprehensive childbirth preparation, pharmacology, HypnoNatal, NatalLa perinatal massage, baby massage and Rebozo care.
