Our vision
in three statements
Your choice comes first
You make the choices, because it is your baby. Our role is to make sure you can make those choices in the best possible way. That principle is woven into everything we do, so you can experience your pregnancy the way you want to.
Committed support
We would love to get to know you, because that allows us to support you in the best possible way. That is why we deliberately choose to work with a maximum of 14 expectant mothers per month. This ensures we can give you more attention.
A broad perspective
Pregnancy is about more than what happens in your womb. That is why we have built broad expertise, so we can think along with you about nutrition, medical or mental challenges and personal circumstances.

Rated 5 out of 5
What an amazing experience we had with Verloskundig Huis Lief Leven during the pregnancy and birth of our first child. At every appointment we felt truly heard, and no question or concern was too much! Although the birth was tough, we felt genuinely supported. The women in this team are absolute gems and even helped us enormously after the birth. An experience we will never forget — highly recommended for every (new) family!
Rated 5 out of 5
Because of my two previous births I remained sceptical for a long time and found it hard to trust. But through all the good conversations and open communication my confidence grew enormously. Thanks to that, even though the birth went differently than planned, I gained huge trust in my body, which resulted in a wonderful birth, a lovely maternity week and a great start that I am still enjoying. Thank you so much! Wonderful women!
Rated 5 out of 5
Very committed, loving midwives who are there for you with great knowledge and skill. They listen to what matters to you and genuinely take it into account. I felt seen and heard, and although I found everything quite scary, they truly put me at ease. This really helped me through the birth. I recommend this practice to everyone!

As an expat, and after having 2 babies in the netherlands , this is so far the best experience i've had.
Thanks to them we had our dream birth (water birth at home) , they are the best midwives in limburg. My family and I are so grateful for this .
