My Doula Journey... 

I have had two very different magical births. Our first was a hospital birth with an Obstetrician, the very same OB who helped my Mother in law when she gave birth to my husband! My first birth experience was incredible! We had an active, non-medicated, natural labour and birth and wonderful support throughout. For our second, we chose an independent midwife and opted for a home birth. My second labour was 90 minutes between first contraction and babies arrival. Very quick, very intense. Drug free and natural. I called on my intuition, and hypnobirthing breathing to navigate each surge and to bring our baby boy earth side. Once he was born, we had a rather dramatic ambulance ride to NICU as he had laboured breathing, and we were thrown into navigating the hospital and medical system for the next 6 days rather than resting in a peaceful new-born bubble at home like we had envisioned. 

​

I have been intrigued with birth and couldn't get enough information, I still can't. When I fell pregnant, I educated myself as best as I could. I attended active birth classes, read as many books as I could, watched hours and hours of births online, attended meditation classes and connected in with my baby daily, as well as a regular yoga practice that helped keep my body flexible and prepared my body for birth. I have wanted to become a Doula since I became a mother, and I am thrilled to be able to offer these supportive services to you. 

  I had the privilege of attended both my sister in laws two home births as well as my sisters first home birth and helped where I could, gentle massage, preparing the birth pool, holding hands, and wiping brows, making cups of tea and toast, taking photos and reveling in the human bodies raw power and their unique sacred birth journeys. 

 I believe that every woman deserves to have continuity of care during their pregnancy, birth and post partum period and this is why I offer different doula packages that I tailor to the individual needs of each pregnant woman.  There is no one size fits all for doula care

​

It would be an honour to be part of your journey as your Doula. Let's start this wonderful journey together!
