Syllona’s warm, patient demeanour was just what we needed as first-time parents. We felt safe, heard, and supported throughout our time with her. She shared plenty of resources with us and was generous with her knowledge and time, providing support tailored to our needs. During labour she jumped in proactively with pain management techniques and provided tangible guidance when considering different medical interventions. Our baby also loved her gentle approach during the postpartum visit. Overall, working with Syllona was so worth it and we look forward to keeping in touch!

Preparing to welcome our first baby while being relatively new in the Netherlands was daunting. Though the country provides excellent prenatal and delivery support, Syllona stood out as an invaluable guide, filling the gaps in our understanding, offering clarity, and providing the emotional support we deeply needed.

From the very beginning, Syllona took the time to understand our knowledge, concerns, and expectations. She identified areas where we lacked confidence and equipped us with practical tools, especially for pain management during labor. Her guidance empowered both of us (partner and mom) to approach delivery with confidence, knowing what to expect and how to navigate each step.

Syllona’s preparation was thorough and personalized. She helped us define her role and my role as the partner, ensuring we were aligned and ready. When the challenging moment of delivery arrived, her presence was reassuring. She seamlessly stepped in when needed, allowing me to support my partner fully, while she provided expert care and encouragement.

Her support didn’t end with delivery. In those exhausting early days, Syllona’s help allowed us to rest, knowing our baby was in loving and capable hands. Those few extra hours of sleep make all the difference :)

We truly believe our experience would have been much harder without Syllona. She didn’t just offer support. She helped us navigate the process with confidence and care. We’re so grateful for everything she did during this important time.

Syllona helped me when my son was born. He was premature and very low weight and she gave me fantastic guidance about how to deal with multiple things (from massage, to gas, to better sleep patterns). She is caring and very responsible. She creates a sense of calm that helped me so much during the difficult first weeks postpartum. You will be in incredible good hands with her.
