What we stand for
Be unburdened during pregnancy and birth
Being pregnant is a special journey – a time of expectations, changes and sometimes uncertainties. At mirasoon we understand that every pregnancy is different and that this is not only a time of joy but also brings questions and new feelings.
That's why we're with you every step of the way, with care that suits you. From ultrasound and midwifery to maternity care and postpartum support - we offer everything you need to feel good and confident.
We have built up a strong reputation in the field of obstetric care . Your wishes are central to us. We work according to the principle of shared decision making : you decide, we guide. You are not obliged to do anything - everything is discussed, and in some cases we even offer a completely hands-off approach. At the same time, we work closely with trusted gynaecologists on the island, so that we can offer tailor-made care for everyone, regardless of the desired trajectory.
At Mirasoon we focus on the person and want you to enjoy this special time.
Communication is our top priority. We listen to the wishes of the pregnant woman and partner, think along, and give personal and professional advice
In addition, we offer coaching , doula support and courses to prepare you both physically and mentally for the birth and parenthood. Whether you are looking for extra preparation, emotional support during the birth or guidance in the postpartum period - we are there for you, with attention and care that is completely tailored to you. Our courses help you to approach the birth and the first time with your baby with confidence.
Even after giving birth, you are in good hands at mirasoon. Whether it concerns maternity care , recovery massages or practical support in the first weeks.
At mirasoon it's about more than just seeing - it's about feeling, preparing and experiencing. Discover our full range and take good care of yourself in this special time!
