Free live workshop — June 3rd
What your parents carried
doesn’t have to reach your child.
You’ve done the therapy. You understand your patterns. But something deeper — inherited, wordless, cellular — is still there. That’s exactly where this work begins.
This is for you if you are:
Pregnant or planning a pregnancy · Aware of family patterns you don’t want to repeat · A couple ready to do this work together · An expat building a family far from home
“She helped me walk into the birth room carrying only myself — not my mother, not her mother.”
— Silvia, Milan
You are in the right place if any of these feel familiar
You want to become a parent consciously — clearing what was handed to you before
it reaches the next generation.
You've both done individual work, but when you come together around parenting or pregnancy, old patterns surface. You want to do this as a team.
No family village nearby. No mother to call at 2am. You want to arrive at birth and parenthood with your own inner foundation firmly in place.
Therapy has helped, but there's a layer — about your own birth, your parents' relationship, your body — that talk alone hasn't reached.
You promised yourself you'd be different. But some reactions, some silences, some moments — you recognise them from your own childhood.
You sense that how a child enters the world matters — and you want to arrive at that threshold clear, sovereign, and fully yourself.

A Dutch woman
in Milan — who knows
what it means to rebuild.
I’ve spent decades at the intersection of birth, the body, and the stories we inherit. I started as a doula. Then HypnoBirthing. Then I went deeper — into the somatic, the ancestral, the patterns that therapy alone can’t always reach.
I’m also a Dutch woman married to an Italian, raising a family in a country that isn’t mine. I know exactly what it’s like to build a family far from your people — and why that makes this work even more essential.
My work isn’t about symptom management. It’s about tracing the pattern back to its source and choosing — consciously, in your body — to let it end with you.
Preparing for pregnancy?
Begin before conception.
Most birth preparation starts at 20 weeks. The most powerful work starts before a pregnancy test is even taken — when you and your partner can move freely, without urgency, through everything your families of origin have handed you.
Identify and release the specific patterns both partners carry into parenthood
Understand how your own birth and childhood shaped your body's relationship to safety
Build a shared emotional foundation as a couple — before the pressure of pregnancy
Arrive at conception, pregnancy, and birth from a place of genuine readiness

Transformation in their words
“I found Margaretha at a point in my pregnancy where I was overwhelmed by hormones, insecurities, and a paralyzing fear of giving birth. Not only did she comfort me in a way no one had managed throughout the pregnancy — she helped me understand that what I was feeling had roots far older than this pregnancy. I walked in thinking I had a challenging pregnancy. I walked out feeling grateful for every single emotion. She has been such a blessing.”

“Margaretha was essential for me to achieve my VBAC. She worked with me on the fears and trauma from my previous birth — deeply, not just on the surface. My partner and I did this together and it changed everything.”

“As wild as it sounds, I mourned the birth experience when it was over — because it was so moving and beautiful. That wouldn’t have been possible without Margaretha helping me clear what I was carrying into the room.”
Online client
Margaretha has been a light in the dark. She helped me and my husband overcoming generational patterns we weren’t even aware of. It has strengthened us in preparation for our homebirth and as a couple.
