What are the (free) options?

Individual coaching: You can visit our coaching surgery, every Tuesday afternoon from one to five o’clock (please make an appointment, see “to register”).
Group coaching: We hold group sessions in the afternoon of every first Monday of the month, from two to four o’clock, where women can meet and talk without their babies, under the supervision of our coach-midwife. They can share their experiences and feelings about their new role of mother. Sometimes, it may become clear that a mother needs individual coaching after attending the meeting.

Location
Both the individual coaching sessions and the group meetings are held at Kraamzorg VDA, Hurksestraat 42-20 in Eindhoven.
