“Sasha's calm energy, encouraging words, and abundance of knowledge about labour positions, breathing techniques and hospital protocols, provided both my wife and I such reassurance and helped put me in the right mindset for labour… We both do not know what we would have done without her help every step of the way.”

- Bonnie Y, Waterloo

“Grace’s calming presence really helped my fears surrounding the hospital and I believe it was her encouragement, peaceful demeanor, knowledge, and suggestions that allowed me to have my daughter with no medications. She even informed the nurses of why I was making certain decisions and I feel made the whole experience run smoother.”

- Gareth M, Elmira

The Process

During Pregnancy

  • Unlimited email, text, or phone support for questions, worries, etc.

  • 2 prenatal meetings during which we will:

    • Discuss how your pregnancy is going and your birth fears

    • Review the stages of labour and the pros and cons of medical technologies, focusing on information not often covered in childbirth classes

    • Talk about your intended birth location

    • Create a birth plan, starting with visualizing how you want to feel during your birth

    • Identify and practice coping strategies and positions for labour and birth

  • As soon as you ask, a doula will come to wherever you are to begin in-person support

  • We provide continuous physical, emotional, and informational support for you and your partner throughout your labour

  • You will have access to our care tools including TENS machine, combs, essential oils, etc.

“Our experience with Amy as our doula was fantastic. Amy was supportive, empathetic, and loving. The prenatal and postpartum sessions were very informative and helped ease our anxiety of the unknown as first time parents. Her support during labour and delivery was incredibly valuable as she made sure that we never felt alone in the process.”
