Who am I?

My name is Jenna Paavola and I live with my partners, 2 step-children and 2 cats in Neeroeteren, Maaseik. I am an enthusiastic midwife. I am calm, passionate and empathetic. I'm originally from Finland where I have completed my nursing and midwifery training and I moved to Belgium in late 2023 after falling in love. In 2021 I graduated as a nurse and in 2023 I graduated as a midwife. 

​

Since 2021, I’ve worked as a midwife in a University Hospital, gaining valuable experience in a wide range of situations. This time in a high-pressure, clinical setting deepened my appreciation for the importance of home-based and individualized care. Working closely with families facing high-risk pregnancies and complex labor and deliveries taught me the critical value of an empathetic approach and the power of truly listening. In addition to my work with pregnancy and childbirth, I’ve gained valuable knowledge in family planning and pre-conception guidance, equipping me to support families at every stage of their journey. While I’ve honed my skills in the hospital setting, my heart has always been in home care. I’m thrilled to now bring my experience and passion to your home, offering personalized midwifery care tailored to your unique needs.

​

In addition to my experience as a midwife, I have pursued specialized training to expand and enhance the care I provide. I’ve completed training in homeopathy for midwives and doulas, which I incorporate into my practice to offer holistic support. As a midwife, I am also qualified to prescribe medication when necessary, ensuring you receive comprehensive care.

My educational journey includes earning my lactation consultant degree, along with certifications in babywearing, baby massage, postpartum fitness, and nutrition guidance. These certifications enable me to support you and your family with a wide range of personalized services, tailored to your needs. I’m passionate about continuous learning and always seeking opportunities to deepen my knowledge, so we will see what I get into in the future.

​

I offer personalized perinatal counseling, lactation consultations, babywearing consultations, pregnancy & postpartum guidance, pre-conception consultation, pregnancy & postpartum fitness guidance, baby massage, nutrition guidance, family planning.

I look forward to supporting you in your adventures as new parents!
