What exactly is a doula?
Doulas provide you with dedicated physical and emotional support during labour and birth whether at home or in hospital. Your wishes, comfort, and well-being are at the centre of my work. I am a part of your support team, working with your partner and medical professionals so that you can have the birthing experience you want. While your doctor, midwife, or nurse are focused on the baby, I will be focused on you and your needs.
Before the big day comes, I will be available to you through email, phone, and text as a constant friend and guide to help you navigate the journey from pregnancy to parenthood. We will work through building a birth plan, connecting with community resources, discussing birthing options, answering any and all questions from prenatal exercises to breastfeeding (if that's what you choose) and more. I am here to provide evidence-based information to help you make the best choices for you and your family no matter what that looks like. It is my belief that all birthing people deserve the gift of total love and care.
