Four passionate ladies with a heart for the job, that is how we can best describe ourselves.
Own personalities and a common goal: supporting you in your strength during this period.
​
​
The basis of our care is based on the 'woman-centered' and 'family-centered care' model. The focus is on women's autonomy, her choices and her rights. We spend a lot of time and care on maintaining normality during pregnancy, paying attention to additional needs if the pregnancy or birth does not go as expected and where cooperation with other disciplines is crucial.
Each of us is contracted and therefore works with the third-party payment scheme.

De vroedvrouwen
Tinneke Wittockx
Hi! My name is Tinneke, I live in Rotselaar and I have been a proud midwife and babywearing consultant since 2019. Right from the start of my studies, I felt that my passion lay in primary care.
In 2020 I went exploring in London. I briefly worked on a homebirth team to get a taste of the (usually) nocturnal adventures of a midwife who supervises (home) births. It didn't take me long to feel that this was what I wanted to put into the world.
From the positive pregnancy test to the first steps of your little one guiding a family is really what makes me happy. The fact that I can also accompany your little one into the world completes the story.
In 2021, I volunteered for a while in a town in Tanzania, Africa, where as a midwife I was able to richly convert my knowledge into experience. When I returned home, I was completely ready to make my dream come true as an independent midwife.
In addition to being a midwife, I enjoy walking, (rock) climbing and painting.
GeerTrui De Winter
My name is Geertrui, shorter Trui, I live in Herent and have been a midwife since 1998. My career started in the delivery room and maternity ward at Sint-Jans Hospital in Brussels. For 7years I worked there mostly doing night shifts, when magic happens...
I became a mom myself, supported by my own midwife, and discovered the great value of this type of care.
It put me on my own path.
When our third baby was on it's way, I quit my job to care for our family full-time. This little one was upside down! We received once again complementary medical help, that enabled us to give birth at home with our trusted midwife. A fourth child completed our family and times were busy. I became a Sensiplan consultant in family planning and fertility awareness. Years flew by until my roll shifted towards running a hotelmore than mothering, and I started longing again for midwifery work.
Fortunately for me the group that had cared for our family before needed help, replacing a pregnant midwife. A new adventure begun ... assisting home birth and providing care at home after birth, surrounded by the very best collegues... a dream come true !
I want to get to know you before birth. Accompany and support you making choices that suit you best. Turning birth into a powerful and strengthening experience.
Giving babies a soft landing, with lots of love and respect.
Still the very best reason to get out of bed in the middle of the night!
Dana Geeraerts
Hello, my name is Dana (Baal) and I have been proud to call myself a midwife for eight years. As a child, I knew very quickly that I wanted to become a midwife. To date, I have always worked in home care, partly as a home nurse and partly as a pre- and postnatal midwife. Over those seven years, I was able to be pregnant three times and experience a beautiful, peaceful and loving home birth three times. A place in the Bolle Buik team is a dream come true. Guiding young parents during pregnancy
labor, delivery and afterwards. Ensuring that they also have such a beautiful memory of a (home) birth with the Bolle Buik midwives.
In addition to caring for all those young parents and babies, I and my husband Jan take care of our three darlings Tea, Fen and War at home so that they can grow up carefree in a warm family.
Sofia Van Duffel
Hello! My name is Sofia, I live with my husband Lukas in Rotselaar and I am the newest member of the Bolle Buik family. After my training as a secondary teacher, I really wanted to obtain the title of 'midwife', it always seemed like an honor to me to be able to guide women in their strength during childbirth and motherhood. I am therefore very grateful that I can do this fantastic job and would not even remotely want to trade it for anything else.
In addition to monitoring and supervising pregnancies, births and the postpartum, I am also responsible for teaching the antenatal course.
I myself (with Tinneke as doula) have now also become a mother of a daughter, Mia.
In addition to my job, I am busy with our two wonderful cats, baking and too many creative hobbies to mention.
