Alexandra Fleischer – The Antwerp Doula

I am Alexandra, 44 years old and mother of 3 children (21 years old, 19 years old, 10 years old). If I had to briefly define myself, I am a very open-minded doula, sometimes a little too open-minded and have a healthy dose of humor. Once labour has started, I’m on edge. Patience, empathy, my many years of experience, being able to accurately observe, feel, adapt to any situation, consult with the medical team, I have all been given this to be able to efficiently support and guide you at this crucial moment. Being able to do something for others is what I aim for.
