Lectures and workshops for professionals
I am Joke Muyldermans, midwife, MSc, lactation consultant IBCLC and researcher. I provide lectures and workshops to healthcare providers, such as midwives, lactation consultants, doctors, pharmacists and physiotherapists. The focus of these lectures is on the transfer of knowledge, practical skills and scientific evidence, with the focus or antenatal, postnatal care, lactation and breastfeeding.
How do we proceed?
After a request for a lecture or workshop comes in, we will review the requirements together. We go over the requested topic, who the participants are, how many participants, whether there is a preference of lecture or workshop, what the learning objectives are and how much time is provided. Based on this, I will develop a proposal themes and structure.
What themes are offered?
I already have a lot of experience in lectures and workshops for different professions, especially in the field of postpartum and breastfeeding.
Nipple and breast problems
COVID-vaccination during breastfeeding
Candidiasis during breastfeeding
Mastitis spectrum
Breastfeeding aids
Suction technique and problems in the newborn
Who is Joke?
I am a midwife, MSc, and lactation consultant IBCLC. I have been working in primary care since 2007. I started my career at Expertise Centre and midwifery practice De Bakermat. In 2015, I founded my own thriving practice InTeam.
I have teaching experience at Erasmushogeschool Brussel and Vrije Universiteit Brussel. I am also working on a PhD at VUB focusing on the treatment of breastfeeding-related problems. I regularly speak at national and international conferences.
In addition, I work as editor-in-chief of the Flemish Journal of Midwives and am a board member of the Flemish Professional Association of Midwives (VB0V) and European Lactation Consultants Alliance (ELACTA).

Reviews
"Pleasant speaker to listen to and occasionally uses a touch of humour. I have since been to several of her lectures and each time she managed to keep my attention. I am a fan!"
- Yoika, midwife primary care
"Joke is an engaging speaker, she always integrates recent scientific literature in her lectures combined with extensive experience in practice."
- Elke, vroedvrouw
"Joke's candid approach breaks taboos, creating a valuable learning environment. This midwife's strength lies not only in her extensive knowledge, but also in her ability to enliven the teaching material with a wealth of practical examples."
- Paulien, pharmacist
