LtdShe's best known as an actress, but Ella-June Henriard (30) has now taken a new direction and is supervising deliveries. The actress, who was previously seen in My Worst Best Friend and Fair Trade, shares her first experience as a doula on her Instagram account. “I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be a guiding light on this miraculous birth journey.”
“A doula is a woman who provides advice, information, emotional support and physical comfort to the mother before, during and shortly after birth,” Ella John explains in her heartwarming post. “My heart overflows with gratitude when I think about my first experience as a doula,” she continues.
“I went through the ebb and flow of each contraction during labor with the couple, embracing the rhythm of life's most profound dance,” Ella June continues. “As our paths intertwined during birth, we formed a bond that transcends words.”

Ella June Henriard has been living in Portugal for several years, but still returns regularly to Belgium and the Netherlands for her acting work. Another career path also took her back to the Benelux countries, where she recently completed a doula training course in Amsterdam. I previously revealed this in “Het Nieuwsblad”. She explained: “It is a study that aims to provide psychological and emotional support and guidance during childbirth for both the mother and the father.” “I will not be a nurse or a midwife; “It is rather a kind of supporting role in addition to those medical functions,” Henriard explained a few months ago.
Her decision to pursue this study stemmed from her fascination with being a woman. “I am fascinated by the magic of a woman's body, by pregnancy and the power of birth. I have a feeling that there is still a lot of knowledge that has not reached us, and that many women are afraid in advance,” she said.
