Who are we?

Laura den Haan
BIG nr: 69059203003

After my studies I worked for over a year in another practice in Haarlem. In 2005 I started working as a buddy, where I still enjoy it very much. As a child I knew I wanted to be a midwife and I do not regret this choice.

What appeals to me most in this profession is the contact with people and the variety in the work. In addition, there is nothing more beautiful than driving home in the early morning after supervising a delivery.

I also place and remove spirals and implanon rods on the practice.
I hope to see you in practice and to contribute to a good pregnancy, delivery and maternity period.

Since November 2021 I have enjoyed working in Uithoorn. And just like my colleagues, you can meet me during office hours, deliveries and maternity visits. I get a lot of satisfaction from contact with clients + partners, maternity nurses and the unpredictability of a service. I never know what day or night will bring me!
As a midwife, I think it is important that clients know that they can come to us with questions, to discuss grief or fear and sometimes just to be able to complain. Furthermore, I think it is important to laugh in life and where possible I try to take this with me into the doctor's office. Good to know: I also place and remove spirals.

See you soon!

Petra van Veldhuizen

My name is Petra Verhage, a midwife since 2007. I have been working as a self-employed nurse since my graduation. First a few years in Aalsmeer and now since 2009 in Uithoorn. In practice, this means that I am present every week for a consultation hour, so that I get to know all clients. When my colleagues are free, I work during the births and maternity visits.

Pregnancy is a very special period in a woman's life and of course also for her partner. And childbirth is a very special and personal experience of which we are allowed to be a part of. The profession offers a lot of variety and special moments.

Diane Chick
Assistant

My name is Diane Kuiken and I am the practice assistant at the Uithoorn midwifery practice. I also worked as an assistant in Uithoorn in 2016 and came back in 2021. I have returned to my old familiar spot behind the counter where I make appointments and answer the telephone, among other things.

In principle, I am at the practice from Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

In addition to being a practice assistant, I am also a part-time photographer and full-time mother of four children. As a result, I have a wonderfully busy life filled with the fun things that I enjoy optimally.

I hope to see you all soon in practice or to hear on the phone.
