About me

I am a midwife, nurse and mum, with a particular focus on care in your own familiar environment.

A little about me

I’m Lynn Vandecauter

I’m Lynn, a midwife, nurse and mum to a spirited daughter.

What matters to me in my work? That you not only feel well cared for, but genuinely heard and understood. Pregnancy and parenthood bring beautiful moments, but they do not always feel like one long “pink cloud”. Doubt, tension and uncertainty are part of the picture too.

That is why I want to be a trusted point of contact, with attention to both your medical care and mental well-being. Someone you can turn to with questions, who thinks things through with you and adapts support to what you and your family need at that moment.

My experience allows me to offer care from a broad perspective. Since qualifying as a midwife in 2013, I have worked in a range of care settings, including a placement in Senegal, residential elderly care, hospital care and, ultimately, home care. With an additional certificate in neonatology, I have worked as a nurse and midwife since 2014.

I have also trained in foot reflexology, Bach flower therapy and baby massage. I am trained as a HypnoBirthing instructor as well, supporting expectant parents in preparing for birth in a calm and conscious way.

For me, good midwifery care is care that fits you, your family and your story.

Why La Mariposa?

The meaning behind the name

“La Mariposa” means “butterfly” in Spanish. A caterpillar grows and transforms into a butterfly. During pregnancy, a couple also grows step by step into parenthood while the baby continues to develop.

The name therefore represents change, growth and trust as a new chapter begins.
