About the Brabant Birth Buddies
Julianna Feron is an expat birth doula, pregnancy coach, and childbirth educator based in the Netherlands with over five years of experience. Through her private childbirth preparation classes, pregnancy massages, online courses and of course with her doula services she supports expectant moms in taking charge of their birth.
As a mother of two and an international herself, Julianna understands the challenges of giving birth in a foreign country. She’s passionate about empowering women with knowledge, trust in their bodies, and practical tools for labor.
In her free time, Julianna loves swimming, running, and cycling – or getting lost in her latest hyper-fixation (currently public speaking!). At home, she’s usually chasing her kids around the kitchen island in the middle of an imaginary adventure.
Anna Latham is a registered nurse, childbirth educator, lactation counselor, and birth doula from the U.S. With over a decade of experience, she has supported pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum families across the U.S., Vietnam, and the Netherlands. Now based in Heeze, near Eindhoven, Anna founded Empowered Birth Services in 2024 to provide evidence-based education and compassionate support to growing families.
She is passionate about birth and empowering people to have positive and confident birth and breastfeeding experiences, helping them enter parenthood with knowledge and trust in their own abilities. As a mother of two, she enjoys biking, crafting, and sharing music with her daughters.
