Flore Selen
Since September 2010, I have been working as a midwife after completing my training in Amsterdam. Following graduation, I gained experience in various practices in and around the city. In 2012, I co-founded our practice, Hygiea, together with Irena Borcuch. I still enjoy working here every day, alongside a wonderful team of colleagues.
I live in Aalsmeer with my partner Luc, and together we have two children: our daughter Lynn (born in 2021) and our son Senn (born in 2023).
Midwifery is a truly special profession to me. Supporting expectant mothers and their unborn babies during such a meaningful time feels like a true privilege. Being present at one of the most beautiful moments in a new family’s life—and being able to offer guidance and reassurance—makes my work incredibly fulfilling.
I value open communication, a positive approach, and creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere.
Irena Borcuch
My name is Irena Borcuch, and I graduated as a midwife in 1993 in Gdańsk, Poland. Between 1999 and 2004, I completed my master’s degree in medical sciences and worked for 11 years as a clinical midwife in tertiary care.
Since 2005, I have been living and working in the Netherlands. After completing a qualification program at AVAG, I worked in Kortenhoef from 2007 to 2010 and then in Lelystad until 2012. From 2012 to 2014, I was affiliated with the hospital in Lelystad, after which I co-founded our practice, Hygiea, together with Flore. We welcomed our first clients in 2013, and since then, the practice has grown into what it is today.
In addition to my work as a midwife, I’ve pursued further education, including a basic ultrasound course and training in TTSEO. In 2024, I completed the ETSEO program.
On a personal note, I am the mother of Gregory, who sadly passed away at the age of 28. I’m a proud grandmother of Julia and Viktor. I live in Amstelveen with my partner Ignacio.
With my international background—born in Kyiv and raised in Gdańsk—I speak multiple languages: Spanish, Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, English, and Dutch. This diversity helps me to support and connect with clients from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.
Iman El Mezziani
Mijn naam is Iman El Mezziani en sinds januari 2025 ben ik verloskundige. Het ontstaan van nieuw leven heeft mij van jongs af aan al gefascineerd. Ik vind het nog elke dag bijzonder en een eer om (aanstaande) ouders te mogen begeleiden in hun transitie naar het ouderschap. In mijn begeleiding streef ik ernaar persoonlijke zorg te bieden, zodat ouders met een positief en warm gevoel kunnen terugkijken op deze bijzondere periode in hun leven.
Ik ben getrouwd en samen met mijn man Engin en onze dochter wonen wij met plezier in Amsterdam-Zuid. Daarnaast rond ik momenteel mijn Master Health Sciences af aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
In mijn vrije tijd ben ik graag samen met mijn geliefden of buiten in de natuur. Ook geniet ik enorm van een goed boek, dus heb je leestips, dan hoor ik die graag!
Davita Bensch
Mijn naam is Davita, 27 jaar oud, geboren en getogen in Amsterdam, met trots Ghanees bloed.
Al van jongs af aan wist ik het zeker: ik wilde verloskundige worden.
Met dat doel voor ogen heb ik jarenlang hard gewerkt om mijn droom waar te maken.
Ik heb inmiddels 11 jaar ervaring in de zorg, waarin ik heb gewerkt als verzorgende IG en als verpleegkundige. Deze brede basis heeft me gevormd tot de zorgprofessional die ik vandaag ben.
In mijn vrije tijd ben ik actief in mijn kerk en vind ik veel plezier in grafisch ontwerp.
Voor mij is het begin van een nieuw leven iets buitengewoon moois en wonderbaarlijks. Het is een voorrecht om (aanstaande) ouders te mogen begeleiden tijdens deze bijzondere en kwetsbare periode in hun leven.

Josephine Angoh
My name is Josephine Angoh Appiah. I was born in Accra, Ghana, and moved to the Netherlands with my family at a young age. I’m married and a proud mother of four daughters. My faith plays an important role in my life and gives me strength—both in my work and beyond.
Becoming a mother at a young age made me strong and independent. That experience sparked my passion for maternity care. In 2009, I obtained my nursing degree and went on to specialize as an obstetric nurse in 2011. After 16 years of experience in various hospitals, I decided to pursue a long-held dream and began my midwifery training at Thomas More in Turnhout in 2022.
With my experience, calm presence, and dedication, I guide women through pregnancy and childbirth. My goal is to support them in a personal and professional way, so they can look back on this special time with confidence and a positive feeling.
