About

I’m Amélie

… a blend of French and Dutch roots, born in the Netherlands and raised in a lively, multi-ethnic neighborhood of southern Paris, France.

My life has been filled with adventures abroad, leading me to Cape Town, where I met my partner and experienced the profound joy of giving birth at home to our two boys in 2016 and 2017. In 2018, we began a new chapter, moving our multicultural, multilingual, and biracial family to Amsterdam.

Each of these places, with their unique cultures and communities, has shaped who I am and fuels my passion for supporting mothers and families on their journeys.

My pursuit

Land of Mothers is a sanctuary where every mother is honoured, nurtured, and empowered, with ceremonies and rituals that celebrate her journey and connect her to her deepest self.

How would I define myself?

I’m accepting and culturally sensitive. I believe deeply in the beauty of every person’s journey. Growing up in the diverse suburbs of Paris, surrounded by people from all walks of life, taught me to honour each individual.

I am deeply receptive and attuned, naturally sensing others' emotions and needs through careful observation and active listening. As an HSP and empath, I create a space where people feel truly seen, heard, and understood.

I’m real. Honest conversations are at the heart of my practice, and I’m here to talk about things as they are.

I’m relatable. Like you, I’m a mother living far from my homeland, finding my way and striving to create a loving home for my family.

I’m reliable. Whether it’s my Capricorn nature or my years working in corporate roles, I believe in keeping my word. Trust, accountability, and quality of service are not just words to me, they’re the foundation of my work.

Why this calling?

Giving birth to my sons profoundly changed me

My journey began with the empowering births of my sons, which awakened a deep calling to support mothers, especially those far from home. Though I felt this pull as early as 2016, the path wasn’t easy. Between raising little ones without much support and balancing work, the dream of becoming a doula seemed distant.

In 2021, I left my life as consultant in innovation to reconnect with what truly mattered, working with children and families as I studied and became an Early Childhood Educator.

By 2024, I knew it was time. I launched Land of Mothers to give mothers the support and sense of connection I’d longed for. My hope is to be the caring presence I once searched for—helping you feel understood, nurtured and honoured through your journey into motherhood.

I am drawn to the rhythm of the waves and the music of the ocean, to the stillness of nature as I walk, and to the dance of light and shadows in life’s simplest moments.
I find solace in the quiet inspiration of libraries, joy in the boundless wonder of children, and purpose in caring and being of service to others.
