Womb Wisdom
My name is Lobke Hagenhoek, midwife and founder of Womb Wisdom. After completing my training in Maastricht, I worked for five years in conventional maternity care both in the Netherlands and abroad. Over time, I felt an increasingly strong calling to support women on a deeper level. Not just medically, but also emotionally, intuitively, and spiritually. Womb Wisdom was born from that desire.
My background
During my years in maternity care, I was always looking for ways to think beyond the conventional path. I became fascinated by the way birth is approached around the world, not just as a physical process, but as a transition, a ritual, a transformation. That curiosity led me to connect with women and traditions that approach motherhood through connection, softness, and strength.
Through observation, study, and my own inner work, my trust in the body and the wisdom already stored within it began to deepen. I learned to listen not only with my ears, but with my hands, my heart, and my presence. It’s these very experiences that have shaped me into the midwife I am today: one who holds space for the whole story. For everything that is visible and all that quietly moves alongside it.
My vision
My mission is clear: to help women come home to their own power. In a world where pregnancy and birth are often centered around control and protocols, I want to create space for trust in your body, your pelvis, and the wisdom of your womb.
​
That calling led me to Central and South America, where I learned from Indigenous traditions, especially those of the Maya. Their way of touch, massage, and connection to the body and the cycles of life awakened something in me something that had always been there.
​
My vision took shape when I sat beside a birthing woman for sixteen hours. Holding her hand, breathing with her breath by breath. I could feel intuitively where she was and what she needed without measuring anything. Simply through presence and trust. That moment confirmed for me: this is what birth is truly about.
Since my studies, I’ve felt a deep calling to guide women through this primal process to help them experience how powerful they truly are.
Womb Wisdom is my way of returning to the essence and inviting women to return with me.
Womb Wisdom
At Womb Wisdom, I support women in every phase of their journey: from the desire to conceive, through pregnancy, birth, and into the transition to motherhood. I do this through intuitive coaching, pregnancy yoga, midwifery care, and Maya closing ceremonies all tailored to your needs. My guidance is gentle, intuitive, and spiritual, yet always grounded in reality.
