Welcome at our midwifery practice
Hidden on the Oostelijke Eilanden, parallel to the Czaar Peterstraat, you suddenly come across a little square with a monumental building. A frame maker in the past, nowadays the location of the Verloskundigenpraktijk Oostelijke Eilanden (VPOE). Our starting point: to guide you through a pregnancy based on confidence, and to help you give birth in the way you would like. Reliable, down to earth, committed, experienced and progressive, that’s us. The office already existed for 20 years in July 2019! Sandra and Imke started the office in July 1999, Karolien followed in 2002 and Marije in 2005.
"We guide you through a pregnancy based on confidence, and help you to give birth in the way you would like.

Our care
We work on the basis of mutual trust and personal wishes. Down-to-earth, but also with humour, evidence-based obstetrics, with an involvement from a professional and personal point of view. Tell us your wishes: pregnancy guidance by the entire team or by one or two faces? Giving birth at home or in the hospital, with or without pain relief, in bed, bath or on the birthing stool? Everything is open for discussion!
Who we are
We are the Verloskundigenpraktijk Oostelijke Eilanden, the most experienced midwifery practice in Amsterdam-Oost! We are situated on the border of Amsterdam Centrum, Zeeburg and Oost. As of the year 1999 we have formed a close-knit, energetic and professional team, with the aim of doing everything we can to help a woman to bring a child into the world, in good health and full of confidence, in the way she wants. A pleasant pregnancy and a good child-birth will form the basis of parenting based on trust. To stand at that cradle, that's why we do it.
