Perinatal Care
ᐊᔭᒥᐦᐁᐃᐧᐢᑫᐧᐊᐧᔮᐃᐧᐣ
I have had the honour to work as a birth-doula for the past seven years. I completed my Doula training in 2016 (DSA Certified) and since then have had the privilege to attend home, hospital, water-births and birth on the Land.
As a new parent and post-partum person myself, I am shifting my practice into pre-natal and post-partum support. I am passionate about radical personal wellness, land-based healing and nutrition for pregnant and post-partum individuals and their little ones.
As a mixed BIPOC womxn and post-doctoral researcher (Inter-National Womxn's leadership in traditional and contemporary Birth Governance), I am passionate about anti-oppressive practices that cultivate safe, sacred and loving perinatal experiences.
I look forward to supporting you in your pregnancy and post-partum journey. I currently offer virtual consultations and supportive care while on my maternity leave.
“An empowered community is made up by empowered individuals and empowered families, and to me empowerment is feeling at home with who you are, and that begins with the moment of birth. So my own birth story is a great source of strength to me. And so when you ask the questions about our children, I have to go the long way around and say it begins with the way they get born.”
(Mohwak Midwife Katsi Cook in an interview by Wessman and Harvey)
WHAT I OFFER
v i s i o n s | v a l u e s
I believe that every little one deserves a loving, culturally-safe and dignified entry into this world.
My work as a birth doula is to ensure that families, mothers and parents, receive culturally-relevant, anti-oppressive and respectful care in their perinatal experience. My goal is to support you and your specific changing needs, throughout your pregnancy and at your time of birth.
In 2016, I completed my in-course DONA certified training.
I am registered with the Doula Services Association (DSA) of British Columbia, 2017.
Services offered in English, French, Spanish & Portuguese (BR).

Not everyone can afford a doula.
I believe that every one who needs/wants birth support should get it. Therefore, I offer my services to those who can not afford birth support (specifically single mothers, first time mamas).
I believe in trade economy and am open to discussing a trade for our time together!
Please do not hesitate to contact me for more details.
