Hello! I'm Jenni, also known as Oma Jenni, and I would be honored to support your growing family. Does your family live far away? Are you feeling a little overwhelmed by all the information available online about how to care for yourself and your new baby? Do you wish you felt more confident than you are feeling now? I may be able to help. I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work with parents and babies. I am a mother of four, a grandmother, a retired family medicine and urgent care physician from the United States, a certified postpartum doula, and a certified lactation consultant. I also hold a Master of Public Health. You can find all the details on my LinkedIn page for Jennifer Huldin MD, MPH here: LinkedIn profile I provide personalized, judgement free, nurturing postpartum and infant support for families in Amsterdam as they adjust to life with a new baby. My care begins after kraamzorg ends, starting in week two postpartum, and continues for as long as your family needs support. As a postpartum doula, I focus first on the birth parent, second on the baby, and third on the household. My goal is to ease the transition into this new chapter, support the birthing parent's physical and emotional recovery, build confidence, and help your whole family feel cared for.

What my clients say:

"My family and I would not be as confident as we are today without Jenni. She went above and beyond during postpartum, immediately earning our trust as first-time parents who were completely overwhelmed. Jenni felt like a member of our family. Her love for our daughter helped fill our hearts when we felt scared we were doing everything wrong! She cooked freezer meals for us, knew all of the best ways to care for and also enrich our baby. One of her outstanding qualities was doing extremely helpful tasks without being asked. She supported my breastfeeding journey when it was draining. She helped us feel successful in this beautiful but difficult part of postpartum. "

- Natalie P

"Jenni's background as a doctor was a huge bonus. She could assure us that the newborn things that seemed strange to us were all, in fact, normal. Whoever works with Jenni will fall in love with her caring, intellectual and helpful style. We miss her every day!"

- Livingston L

"Oma Jenni helped us feel sane during the early days of our bringing home our son from the NICU. I was able to sleep and recover, knowing a highly knowledgable and caring doula was looking after my son. Jenni kept our kitchen clean, did laundry, and even baked for us. I can't imagine how we would have survived without her. "
