Maïté Bodeux

My name is Maïté.

I support women emotionally and logistically as they go through the different stages of life. I serve their well-being and define myself as a member of their village.

MY PREMISES

• Change is part of life and catapults us from a before to an after.
• There’s no room for comparison. The variables involved are far too personal.
• Our power lies in preparation, in information, in action, in the village (which may not be the family village) and in accepting what is.
• Whether painful or happy, it’s how we go through these portals that determines our experience and memories.

I ADDRESS

• The Passenger
  I honor those who are going through an event, a portal or a change, whether happy or painful.
  
  Rebozo Ritual Care – Celebration & Mama Blessing 
• The generous one
  I support mothers through the physical, identity, organizational and family changes involved in the birth of a child. Whether for the 1st, 2nd… or 5th time.
  
  Coaching – Postnatal Doula – Rebozo ritual care

MY SERVICES

• I offer individual guidance: cycles, perinatality and maternity.
• I help mothers to prepare their postnatal throughout their pregnancy and provide support at home after the birth.
• I take care of transitions through Rebozo Ritual Care and celebrations.

I serve Brussels, Walloon Brabant, and Flemish Brabant, as well as areas of Wallonia and Flanders that are max 20 km from Kortenberg.

Prenatal doula support

I provide you with information, reassurance and support so that you can enjoy a peaceful and conscious pregnancy, birth AND postnatal period.

Emotional, physical and informative support during pregnancy

• I answer your questions and ease your doubts.
• I celebrate each trimester and support the discomforts that may be associated with it.
• I help you create your village (personal and professional).
• I support you emotionally through this physical and identity change.

Birth preparation

• I share with you the birth vortex and its modified states of consciousness.
• Based on your wishes and reality, we draw up your birth plan and discuss a possible Plan B, C or D to prepare you as best we can.

Postnatal preparation

The birth of a child is multifaceted. It involves the birth of a baby, a mother, a father and a family. No matter how many children there are. The result is a physical, identity, organizational and family revolution.

• I share my natural tips for treating your immediate postnatal discomfort.
• We discuss the needs of the mother and the couple.
• We identify the demands and limitations of the village.
• We discuss your values and your conception of family.

Postnatal doula support

I come to your home to take care of you.

• I nurture you physically and emotionally so that you can nurture in turn.
• I listen to your joys and difficulties, and ease your discomfort.
• I give you the time to take care of yourself by taking care of your baby.
• I can help you with the home chores.
• I take care of you with rituals (ex. Rebozo)

Other related services and activities

Rebozo Ritual Care

A moment to name, close, honor…

• a body and its challenges
• an identity that forges, weaves and adapts
• a life, its cycles and temporality.

It consists of 4 parts:

• a time of intention
• a massage (2 or 4 hands)
• a warm-up using a sudation hut or herbal bath
• a body wrap using rebozo tissues

Women circle

• 1x/month
• A moment shared between women of all ages and backgrounds
• A place to reconnect with ourselves (or self-love) and with others.
• A space for sisterhood, sharing, bonding, listening and liberation.

Birth story circle

• A time to meet around the birth stories of your child/children
• A time to unravel and retrace your story
• A place to meet and share

Postnatal meetings

A cycle of 4 meetings for mothers and their babies (in their 1st year of life)

My proposal:

• Drop off, share and walk alongside a group of women.
• Feel recognized, supported and nurtured as a mother who loves, cares and sometimes forgets herself…
• Treat yourself to a moment of cocooning for “self-love”, away from routine.
• Create authentic links with other women who share the same temporality as the postnatal period.
• Each circle will be built and supported to combine reflection, creation and sharing. The aim is to leave lighter, stronger and more confident in their experience.
