What is a doula?

A doula is a non-medical support person hired by the family to provide emotional, informational, and physical support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

We offer non-judgemental support, guidance, evidence-based education, and practical hands-on support.

As a birth doula, I am in a unique position working outside of the medical model supporting births. I am solely there to support the new family.

• We meet in pregnancy, usually at your home, to prepare for birth and postpartum.

• I see you in early labour, usually at your home. I am there for the entire birth and stay well after your baby is born.

• I will come to your house within the first two weeks after baby is born to provide postpartum support. This can include help with feeding and baby care, meal prep, and light house work.

See my services if you’re interested in adding a doula to your birth team.
