​Hiring me as your doula is an investment in unwavering support

How I doula is so much more than what words or images can convey. I offer so much more than hip squeezes and words of encouragement during labour. My businesses' values are based on three words and my doula philosophy is founded upon it​.

I See You.

When you invest with me as your doula I remind you at very step of your inner wisdom and innate power that resides in you. I provide you with up to date evidence-based practices so you can make the right decisions for you and your family.

My primary responsibility is to you. Not your care provider, your hospital or doctor. My role is tied solely to your agenda.

Seen. Empowered. Supported

Having a doula support you unconditionally throughout your pregnancy, birth or postpartum feels like a warm hug from a friend from a best friend, sinking into a hot bath after a long day at work, a bunch of your favourite flowers showing up unexpectedly at your door on your birthday.

During this special time hiring a doula can bring a sense of comfort and calm as you have a confidant and sidekick throughout the whole journey of early motherhood. Investing in a doula can be your biggest asset to having a positive and empowering birth experience.

My why...

I believe that birth is a natural, normal function of the human body and that it's our birthright to have a positive and empowered birth experience - regardless of how birth 'looks'. This means regardless of how you are choosing to birth - from an elective cesarean to free birthing.

I am a doula because I'm passionate about mothers and families having the best birthing experiences and the best possible postpartum times through being and feeling empowered, supported in their desires and goals for their birth and postpartum.

Because having a healthy baby AND mother matters. Your mental health matters. You feeling supported matters. You feeling like a badass who can conquer anything matters. Being informed matters.
You, matter dear human.

The Evidence On Doulas

In a research paper published by the Cochrane review, a study by Bohren et al. 2017, states people who received continuous support were more likely to have spontaneous vaginal births and less likely to have any pain medication, epidurals, negative feelings about childbirth, vacuum or forceps-assisted births, and Cesareans. In addition, their labors were shorter by about 40 minutes and their babies were less likely to have low Apgar scores at birth. There is a smaller amount of evidence that doula support in labor can lower postpartum depression in mothers. There is no evidence for negative consequences to continuous labor support. The results of this study mean that if a birthing person has continuous labor support (that is, someone who never leaves their side), both mothers and babies are statistically more likely to have better outcomes.
