Birth Doula

Pregnancy, birth and parenthood are both daunting and pivotal experiences in people’s lives. As a birth doula, I offer comfort, support and information when you need it, helping to make these pivotal experiences positive ones for you, your partner, and your family. 

Benefits of having a birth doula

• Parents feel more supported during the birth experience

• Pregnant person can experience a reduction of fear leading up to and during the birth experience

• Partners feel more prepared and involved in the birthing process

• Birthing Parent feels listened to during the birthing experience

• Less use of early epidurals

• Shorter labour times

• Significant decrease in unnecessary medical interventions

• More positive feeding experience

• Increased sleep in the post-partum period

• More confidence in baby care

• Overall more parent satisfaction with the birth experience

• Expectant parents feel more at ease in early labor when parents have someone to call in the middle of the night to remind them of coping techniques and help them sleep

Due to my clinic schedule I am unable to offer in-person doula support for your birth, however I am excited to offer virtual doula support to help put you in the very best position for a positive birth and postpartum experience. As a virtual doula, I am able to help reduce your stress, and provide support every step of the way. My private one-on-one sessions take place over Zoom, and are an excellent way for your partner to receive training on how to support you including techniques to stay comfortable. I am always available through text, phone or FaceTime/WhatsAPP/Zoom to answer your questions as they come up.
