About Me

Hi, my name is Eva Alberts and I am Your Online Midwife.

I was 18 years old when my first son was born, had an emergency C-section and a near death experience. This traumatic experience let me on the path of becoming a midwife and I graduated in 1982. I had four normal deliveries after that. My youngest son was born when I was 47 years old.

Combining my life experience and my ongoing education.
I’ve experienced more difficulties through pregnancy and childbirth myself than I expected or saw coming and know first hand all the struggles parents are facing, whether it’s the first, second or third baby. As a midwife, I have broad experience, helping women through pregnancy, delivery and the postpartum period, including working for many years at the high risk pregnancy ward and doing in-home visits.

Today I am focusing solely on the postpartum period. Since 2009 I have done more than 8000 in-home visits to parents during the first 10 days after delivery. I am also a life transformation strategist, a certified trainer in Jack Canfield's Success Principles and Methodology, and Master RIM facilitator.

As a midwife and mother of five, I know how challenging the postpartum period is, both mentally and physically. In Iceland all women get in-home visits from a midwife within the first 10 days after birth, if they are discharged from the hospital within the first three days after delivery. A service like this isn’t available in all countries.

Your Online Midwife
That‘s why I created youronlinemidwife.com and my first course, First 10 Days. It is designed to support parents the first days and weeks at home with a newborn. Here on my website, youronlinemidwife.com, you will find multiple courses, where I teach mothers-to-be everything they need to know about pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. You can also find a blog where I write regularly about different issues and topics related to the matter and I offer one-on-one support sessions to those who need it.

My mission
My mission is to help 1 million women and their families. I sincerely hope that I can be of service to you, and families all around the world.
