Birth
Providing inclusive, trauma-informed, compassionate care that centers you within your birth story
Meet Your Birth Team:
“And when I went into labour, Amy was such a deep well of comfort, confidence, and care I was able to draw from in the throes of pain and fear. My partner and I are eternally grateful for her support in the L&D room.”
- Jil L., Ayr
“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

“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.”
- James C, Kitchener
