Christine Spierings Doula Services

DONA certified, I offer Birth and Postpartum Doula services in the Sea to Sky and Vancouver area.

As a Birth Doula, my goal is to ensure that you and your partener feel fully supported both emotionally and physically throughout labour and birth. I provide resources, information and coping strategies throughout pregnancy and labour in order to achieve as close to your ideal birth as possible. Caring for you and empowering you through out your birth experience is my first priority. As a Postpartum Doula, I will offer support to the new mother and family through assistance of newborn care, education and resources, companionship, light house keeping chores and meal prep.

23 years ago I went to my first birth! 🍾❤️

This is a photo of me with my first born. I had absolutely no idea what I was in for! My attitude was ‘ignorance is bliss’. 😎

➡️I was a follower. I did what I was told or what I thought people wanted me to do.

🩺I thought for sure my doctor knew what was best for me and although my nurses encouraged me to move around as much as possible, I had no idea what that meant. I did move… a bit. Walked down the hallway a couple of times but no one was there to guide my husband and I through what movement could look like.

🛁I took a bath - best thing I did all labour but mostly all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball on my bed. No one showed me any favourable positions to lay in while I tensed up my body with each contraction.

💉I was terrified of having an epidural. My fear was the only thing driving me towards a drug free birth.

☺️After everything, yes I did it and yes I felt pretty damned good about it! I learned a lot about myself.

💥I am strong
💥I am resilient
💥I can do hard things
💥I know what is best for ME
💥My body knows what to do, and I have trust in its ability to do it.

23 years ago was the start of my journey. Learning who I am as my own person. Learning about the amazing art and ability of the body. Learning about the power in the presence of the mind and even greater strength in joining mindfulness to breath. Being confident in the fact that knowledge is strength and helps to ease fear.

💝My birthing day did not bring all of these beautiful life lessons to me right away but a seed was planted and it grew.

🔆I could only imagine now if I had a doula back then. I would have learned all of the same lessons… just a little quicker🤗

It's World Doula Week! A chance for me to celebrate the practice I love so much!
I've seen peoples knowledge and perception of birth and postpartum change so much in this last decade. Women taking control of their birth, families knowing it is absolutely O.K. to ask for help with their newborn and new way of life. Breastfeeding issues caught before frustration, physical issues and anxiety set in. I've always believed that it takes a village to raise a child. I also believe it takes a community (whether its family, friends and/or doulas) to lift a parent.

There are so many facets that shape a doulas world.

Above all, I love empowering parents, offering the specific support they need to be the most at ease in their new role.
❤️❤️❤️

Got to practice using my new Bengkung belly bind/wrap on a new mama.
After baby is born often a mama can feel like she needs support in that space where baby once was.
Binds can help support moms belly and back as well as enhance the recovery process after childbirth.
Did you use a belly wrap after birth? If so what kind?

Thankful my two full moon babies born within an hour of each other in two different hospitals called me in BEFORE the snow storm and my front stairs went missing!

Shout out to the amazing doula community that helped me out as well. From the doulas who couldn’t make the last minute trip to the hospital birth but helped me to find support, to the doula that made the drive from the city in a snow storm (I don’t know your last name!!), you all rock!! Doulas… that’s what we do - work TOGETHER empowering, caring, supporting ❤️ .m.faulkner

Mostly, here’s to the two new families that I know out there, who entrusted me in such a tender time. Enjoy your babies 1 day birthday🥳 It’s always an honour to witness both mom and dads journey into the birth of parenthood 🥰

Warm cooked veggies to nourish and heal the postpartum body. A quick grab and go snack never hurts either. What were your go to meals and snacks in your postpartum journey?

Helping a new family dive into a fresh week. ❤️
Meals, laundry, self care and healing, conversation on what is happening in the moment - whether it’s breastfeeding, infant gas, sleep, bathing or 100 other topics.
Some days a new family feels like it’s everything they need help with, other days they just need to have a snooze while baby is held.
What was most helpful for you during your first weeks and months postpartum?
