About Desirée van Nieuwenhoven

For women who’ve lived through something that changed everything and still want to live forward with clarity, warmth, and meaning.

I know what it feels like when life shifts so profoundly that nothing ever looks the same again even when the world around you goes on as if nothing has changed.

Not because I tell you but because I know it from the inside out.

My life changed in ways I never expected.
I’m mother to Jasmijn, Tom, and Tim, three children I carried with love, whom I never got to live with me in the world. 🩷💙💙

Those losses shaped me deeply not to keep me in grief, but to guide me into life again. 

A life break doesn’t mean life stops

Maybe your break came from loss you can name.
Maybe it came in a form the world doesn’t see, but your body still remembers.

Either way, something inside you changed.
And something inside you still wants life.

You may have noticed:

  • you function, but don’t feel grounded

  • you want space rather than pressure

  • you want a future, not an endless replay of the past

  • you long for direction, without being pushed

This is the space where that longing meets possibility.

My journey not as a 'story,' but as a lived reality

I’ve walked through deep silence and found that:

grief does not go away,
but life does not stop either.

I didn’t create Everlasting Parenthood to pull people back into what happened.
I created it to open space for what comes next.

Because there is room for truth and room for life.
Not in conflict, but together.

    How I support women like you

    I don’t offer quick fixes, general formulas, or empty reassurance.

    What I do bring is:

    • grounded, clear guidance

    • real listening without rushing you

    • an invitation to discover your next step, not the right way

    • support rooted in your rhythm, not a script

    • tenderness without sentimentality

    Together, we learn how to live forward from here, not by erasing what has been, but by making space for life again

    Why this matters

    You don’t need someone to tell you it’s going to be okay.
    You need recognition that what you’re carrying matters and that you can carry it without being trapped by it.

    You’re not broken.
    You’ve been changed.
    And there’s a future waiting one that honours your life, not just your loss.

    That’s what I help women step into.

    A simple invitation

    If something here feels familiar something that says “Yes that’s me”  then you’re in the right place.

    Take space to look, to listen, to choose what draws you today.

    You don’t have to know the path only that you’re ready to take the next step.

    Ready to take the first step?

    We’re here for you. With love, always.
