Birth Support
First-time parents, veterans, queer families, adoptive families, single parents…all are welcome here. If you’re looking for personalized, non-judgmental support for your labour and birth, you’ve found it!
As your doula, I will support you in making evidence-based choices for your labour and birth that leave you feeling empowered and in control. Whether you are planning a VBAC, have already scheduled a cesarean, or are hoping for an unmedicated birth at home, hospital or birth centre, I will support you through it.
I currently work as part of the birth team with Family Doulas of Ottawa, so hiring me as your birth doula means you’ll automatically have two doulas to support you through preparing for labour, one of us in attendance at your birth, and both of us checking in with you postpartum.
Postpartum Support
The transition to parenthood can be super overwhelming, and hiring a doula can help to ease some of that overwhelm! Maybe you’re already in the thick of it and feeling like you’re drowning a little, or maybe you’re planning ahead and know you’ll want some support in the early weeks/months of parenthood…either way, I support families in many different ways.
Postpartum support looks different for everyone! I will work with you to find your unique rhythm as a family with a new addition, and to help you build confidence as a parent(s).
Virtual Doula Support
An alternative to traditional, in-person support: a doula in your pocket! Maybe you don’t need in-person support but you just have lots of questions and need help finding the most up-to-date and accurate information… As an early childhood educator, parent, and doula, I have many years of experience, knowledge and resources to share! Plus I LOVE talking about it. ;)
Educational Sessions
Book me for a private consult/educational session, or get a group of friends together for a group class! I can cover a range of topics such as: preparing for childbirth, preparing for postpartum, infant sleep, toilet learning, managing toddler/preschooler behaviours, and more.
