Hi, I’m Jane Piot and I’m so happy that you are here!
I am a birth doula and breastfeeding specialist, devoted to my work and passionate about supporting future parents in Brussels and surrounds during their journey through pregnancy, birth and beyond. I am a proud mum to two teenage boys, both of whom I breastfed for over a year. My experience of the magic - and intensity - of birth, breastfeeding and parenthood is what drives my passion for working in this field.
As a doula I am a gentle, calm, reassuring and non-judgemental presence and your advocate whenever needed. I am by your side continuously; your cheerleader and your safe space where you can talk through any fears or beliefs that might get in the way of having the birth that you hope for. As a breastfeeding specialist, I help to build confidence in new parents. Sometimes just having someone to come round and give you a hug, help you with some adjustments and tell you that you are doing OK can go a really long way.
I love what I do. Joining parents on this incredible journey is a huge honour and privilege for me. I have accompanied over 60 births and helped countless women to have the confidence and skills to enjoy their breastfeeding journey. I have a very special place in my heart for all of the beautiful women and couples I have accompanied.
Aside from being a doula, I’m a mother of two wonderful teenage boys (one of whom is in the photo on my home page) and cat mum to our three adopted Senegalese street cats. I’m British, married to a frites-loving Belgian and have lived and worked in the UK, France, Switzerland, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Senegal, Laos and now Brussels. I speak English, French, very rusty Kiswahili and basic level Lao. I love travelling, wildlife, long walks in nature, photography, cycle rides, staying fit, lifting weights, family dinners, weekends away with old friends, good company, good food, the odd binge watch on Netflix and lots of laughter.
