Hello,
I'm Madi, the heart and soul behind Meraki Madi.
I’m a coffee enthusiast, a storyteller at heart, and a firm believer in the magic of connection. On most days, you’ll find me savoring a latte, weaving fairy tales into everyday moments, or sneaking in a cuddle with my cat—when she’s feeling generous, of course.
But more than that, I’m your Birth Photographer, Doula, and holistic health advocate, serving Rotterdam and beyond. I happily travel up to 80km to be by your side, ensuring you feel supported no matter where your journey takes you.

Meraki Madi was born out of a longing for something deeper—a desire to truly connect with myself and others. I wanted to uncover what it means to be genuinely happy, to feel at peace with our bodies, our health, and the life-changing moments we experience.
Creativity runs in my blood. From a grandmother who painted portraits to another who crafted porcelain dolls and fluffy bears, from a camera-loving grandfather to siblings who can’t resist capturing life through their lenses—art and storytelling have always been part of my world. My mother designs breathtaking dresses, and I inherited not just their creative spark but also a passion for celebrating the beauty in every moment.
My love for Human Biology took root in university, where I marveled at how intricately connected our bodies are. That fascination deepened in my late 20s when I discovered the profound impact of hormones on my own life. This journey led me to a lifelong passion for Women’s and Holistic Health, empowering others to understand and embrace their own journeys.
