A birth doula is a supporting coach or companion for the labour and delivery of your baby. Doulas do not replace your primary healthcare provider (midwife or doctor), or your partner. Doulas work with families as a valuable piece of your chosen birth team. As a doula I strive to get to know families deeply, learning their values and processes, and then work together to plan for and support a positive birth. Prenatal preparation is a huge component of a birth doula’s work, to prepare mothers body and mind for their ideal and positive birth, and prepare their partner to be the best support along side as well. Doulas provide individual and continuous support in several ways including physical and emotional support as well as assisting in creating an environment for informed choice. Specifically, physical support can look like assisting natural comfort measures or teaching partners to participate in easing labour stress. Emotional support comes in many forms of encouragement, planning for and creating a peaceful and safe space, watching for ques of a mother’s needs at that moment. Doulas can begin working with mothers and families any point in their pregnancy, and will work together through postpartum to ground the journey from pregnancy to parenthood in supported care.

Massage can help with optimizing pelvic alignment to prepare for birth, back pain pain relief, reducing swelling, utmost relaxation, relief from postpartum soreness from labour, stretching and rebalancing sore or tense tissues from the new demands of caring for a newborn and breastfeeding, and more. I come to your home for these treatments, and babies near by or right on mama are wonderfully welcome! Purchasing this package ensures I will also prioritize your massage bookings in my schedule in comparison to my regular mobile massage work.

I am available to work with families in the Shuswap/Okanagan region of BC, specifically Salmon Arm, Vernon, and surrounding areas. Midwife or doctor attended, planned home and hospital births are all welcome! There are payment plans available upon request, and special rates for repeat clients. As of fall 2024 I am also approved for the Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant Program which provides Indigenous families living in BC up to $1200 for doula support per pregnancy.

It would be an honour to meet with you for a complimentary, no pressure, consult to get to know each other and answer any questions you might have about doula care and how I work. This meeting will be to the benefit of both mother/family and doula to see how we are compatible to work together for this momentous occasion. Please contact me to inquire and schedule a consultation, booking can be done online or through my form linked above.

Congratulations on your growing family!
