Birth is a rite of passage and is one of the most significant, meaningful events a woman will ever experience in her life. The journey to motherhood is empowering, profound and transformative. It is an absolute privilege to help a woman find her inner strength, overcome her fears, rise above her challenges, and welcome her baby into the world. Watching her partner support, comfort and protect her is a remarkable sight. The pride she feels and the new woman she suddenly becomes during the birth of her child is an honour to witness. Originally from Ontario, my fiance and I have made our home in the heart of Edmonton and recently welcomed our first child into our family. Some of my hobbies include roller derby, camping and travel. I am passionate about pregnancy and birth support and enjoy continuous learning. I am a certifying DONA doula and a proud member of DONA International, Doula Association of Edmonton (DAE) and Association for Safe Alternatives in Childbirth (ASAC) . OUR PHILOSOPHY OF CARE
As doulas, our intention is to provide non-judgemental, mother centered support, helping you achieve a beautiful and fulfilling birth, as you define it. Every mother deserves the ability to fully understand her options and feel completely supported in whatever she chooses. There is no right or wrong way to birth your baby. Whether your birth is vaginal, cesarean, medicated, unmedicated, home, or hospital birth, we support you in whatever path unfolds and help you feel empowered and informed. We believe birth, in all its forms, is a sacred and transformative journey. Transitional support into parenthood is profoundly important. The birth of mothers and fathers is just as significant and beautiful as the birth of babies. A healthy baby is important, but is not all that matters. The memory, experience and feelings surrounding your birth sets the stage for your transition into parenthood.
