ABOUT
THE BIRTH PORTAL
Like all new life, The Birth Portal began as a spark in my womb - a quiet but undeniable call for something bigger than myself: a vision.
A world where parents are deeply supported, where children are raised as their truest expressions. It all starts with us - the mothers. By RECONNECTING to the safety within our own bodies, we reclaim the power to conceive, carry, birth, and mother authentically.
​
In my pregnancies, I longed for the presence of wise women - those who understood the sacred art of CONSCIOUS MOTHERHOOD. Women in touch with their ancestral knowing, who embodied both surrender and strength. Who carried the wisdom of BREATH AND BIRTH intertwined. But as my belly grew, so did the realisation that finding all of this knowledge in one guide - a midwife, a doula, a birthworker, a breathworker - was not easy to find.
So, I became my own guide. I surrendered to the wisdom within, immersing myself in breathwork, the understanding of the nervous system, the depths of underwater birth, the sacredness of postpartum care, and the magic of connected play. With each lesson, I wove a tapestry of knowledge - one that held me through the births of my children all the way into motherhood. And when women began asking how I birthed them naturally at home, I knew: this wisdom was never meant to stay with me alone.
The Birth Portal was born from this truth: a space of LOVE, EXPERIENCE, and unwavering SUPPORT. A place for mothers seeking a deeper, more CONNECTED (re)birth and motherhood experience.

BIBICHE
My journey into motherhood and breathwork is woven with threads of transformation, surrender, and deep remembering. My early life shaped me with a heightened awareness of risk and an innate SENSITIVITY to my surroundings. This gift served me well in my twenties as a lawyer, where I learned to discern the core of complex situations with precision. But as life often does, it called me toward a different path. A quiet knowing whispered that the world I had built no longer fit who I was becoming.
​
That whisper became undeniable when my first son took root in my womb. At 27 weeks pregnant, we left The Netherlands and everything familiar. We set off in our camper van, fueled by a mix of fear and excitement. Destination: the unknown. It was a pilgrimage of self-discovery. An urge to explore the patterns passed down through my lineage. A willingness to consciously SHAPE the mother my heart longed to become. I immersed myself in the ancient wisdom of pregnancy and birth. Seeking a holistic and intuitive path. One that honoured both the baby I was carrying and the mother I was becoming.
​
It was on a sunlit hillside in Tuscany that breathwork found me. Not as a technique, but as a remembering of myself. The breath became my portal to authenticity, self-love and embodiment. It unraveled and still unravels the layers of conditioning about birth, parenting and me. The breath allows me to release what no longer serves and makes SPACE for the life I intend.
As a breathwork facilitator and conscious mother, it lights me up to share the wisdom I have gathered through my own motherhood journey and turn it into sweet GUIDANCE. To feed you the messages I most needed to hear on my motherhood journey.
​
If something within you lights up as you read this - if you feel a spark in your heart, a stirring in your womb - then you are already on the path of conscious motherhood. I am here if you feel the longing to be supported on your journey.
