Dear soul, thank you for being here

My name is Lieke. I am a mother, sister, birth- and womb worker. Also a guide in devotion to the embodiment of our heartfelt intuition. It is my joy to walk each other Home into remembrance of our true selves. To be a Midwife to the Soul, from preconception throughout the never-ending postpartum, and other life-shaping experiences.

My path was deeply shaped by my time spent in Guatemala, which was mostly my home since 2017 till 2023. In 2017, my dreams brought me to Guatemala where I started my learning path with the indigenous Mayan spiritual guides and midwives and found a deep sense of Belonging.

The Mayan cosmovision helped me on the path of Re-membrance. The elders as wayshowers throughout a native cosmology. My dreams started pointing me towards the direction of women’s work and midwifery. The energies of the Mayan calendar – a living system of ancestral wisdom – continue to offer me strong guidance in experiencing deep connection and magic in daily life.

Since December ’24, I family live in the Sierra Nevada of Colombia, known as the “Heart of the World” by the indigenous people of the area. We grew into a family here in December 2024, with our son being born on these lands by the ocean. Held by the sweet lushness of the deep jungle forests and mother nature.

I highly value integrity in my work. Therefore, I want you to know where I am coming from. The following trainings and experiences have become an important part of my shaping. My teachers come in all forms; and my clients are amongst them.
