Praktijk de Nieuwe Weg is a small institution for mental health care. We offer short-term symptom oriented treatment for one dimensional disorders and longer-term structural treatment for complex disorders. Praktijk de Nieuwe Weg offers different kinds of therapy, including EMDR, a treatment for processing traumatic events. It is now known that a (complicated) pregnancy or childbirth can be a traumatic event for women (and their partners). Complaints such as re-experiencing, avoidance of situations that are reminiscent of the event and increased irritability are symptoms that may indicate a post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). EMDR is an effectively proven treatment form for PTSD and reduces the emotional burden of the traumatic event. For further information: www.emdr.nl

Pregnancy massage and pregnancy yoga
On a special massage table I give pregnancy massage where you can completely relax, even if you lie on your belly. The massage of soft strokes helps to relieve any complaints and through improved blood circulation, oxygen and nutrients are better absorbed by mother and baby.
Pregnancy is a special period in the life of every woman. And because during pregnancy you are exposed to physical, emotional and social changes from within but also from outside, yoga can provide support for mother and child. Pregnancy yoga is suitable for every expectant mother, you do not have to have a yoga experience or be supple for it. You can join at any time and follow the lessons until birth.

Baby massage is a pure and intense enjoyment with your baby. Touching and feeling your baby are aspects that your baby and you need a lot. Touching the body of your baby creates a better communication with your baby. You will understand your baby better, so you will feel better what your baby needs. By your reassuring touches your baby becomes more aware of his own body and he will get a safe feeling, so you can help your baby with the emotional feelings and the relief of having the physical discomfort. So the massage is more than just touching your baby. During a workshop or a course, you can see which positive and beautiful effects de massage gives.
