Midwife Eline

Hello, I’m Eline. Partner of Lowie, mum of Violette, Dré and Richard, and together we live in Retie.

Funnily enough, midwife was already on my list after secondary school, but I didn’t dare take the step then. I chose a training in special needs education and worked for years with great pleasure in care for people with a disability. Yet the wish to become a midwife stayed somewhere in the background.

When I became a mum myself, everything changed. I discovered how incredibly powerful a woman and her body are. Pregnancy, giving birth and parenthood made a deep impression on me and I knew: this is what I want to be part of.

During my own pregnancy and postnatal period, Laurine supported me as a midwife. Her calm, knowledge and trust made such a difference that she inspired me to finally chase my dream. Four years later I graduated as a midwife. And the best part? At the home birth of our son, Laurine was once again by my side.

Today I get to support families myself during one of the most special periods of their lives. I want to be a midwife with whom you feel safe, dare to ask anything and can be entirely yourself. Someone who offers not only medical care, but also calm, trust and a listening ear.

I look forward to walking a little way alongside you in your story.
