I cannot praise Dr. Kamilla Hallier and mid wife Ann Sophie highly enough. I moved to Spain in September 2016 at the beginning of my third trimester and I was very nervous about finding a hospital where I would be able to have the kind of birth I wanted; that is to say a natural birth in a calm and peaceful environment where my wishes would be respected and where I could trust in the people who would be caring for me and my baby. As soon as I got in contact with International Women’s Health Center I knew I had come to the right place. From the first time I met Kamilla I knew I had found the best Ob Gyn to treat me during the final months of my pregnancy and assist me in giving birth the way I wanted to. She is a wonderfully dedicated doctor who always made me feel at ease and provided me with great advice and care. She also has boundless energy and a great positive attitude. The Nuevo Belén hospital is a small hospital and the facilities there are perfect. It is obvious that a great deal of care and attention has gone into fitting out the birthing rooms. Knowing I would be giving birth in such a private, calm and welcoming environment helped to dissipate some of my nervous adrenalin once my contractions had started. Ann Sophie is also a fantastic & highly skilled mid wife. She provided me with all that I needed to know regarding the process of a natural birth and gave me a lot of useful advice on breast feeding and caring for our newborn. At all times during my labour both Ann Sophie and Kamilla gently suggested what I could do to help move the birth along and I knew I could trust them and this made it easier for me to relax and focus on what I had to do. They work brilliantly together and make a great team. The time my husband and I spent with them during the birth of our son was a beautiful and loving experience and one that we will never forget.
