We believe that support makes everything better — That’s kinda why we’re doulas.
But doula work is hard. Our industry is constantly losing doulas with valuable experience and wisdom to burnout. We decided to come together and think outside of the box to find a way to pursue our passion of doula work that was best for everyone.
Best for ourselves, our families, our clients, and the community at large.
When you sign up with Willow River Doula Collective, you are getting a team. We care for you, and more importantly, we care for each other, so that you always receive care from someone who is thriving, not showing up in your birthing space on the edge of burnout.
As doulas, we know that continuity of care matters. During pregnancy, we make sure that you get to know your entire team. Your prenatal visits will be done with two doulas, so you have face-to-face time with all of us. We will create a group chat with all of us, so your questions can be answered by our collective 30+ years of wisdom. And if your birth is longer, we may switch out doulas so you get the benefit of fresh energy and a new set of eyes, but with the same comfort of a trusting relationship.

Why do we love being doulas?
“Seeing tiny humans enter the world is super cool! But I really love helping parents access their inner calm and knowing as they begin their parenting journey.”
- Grace
“I love getting to support the transformation that new parents go through, from being completely unsure and overwhelmed, to calm and confident in their ability to birth and care for their baby!”
- Sasha
“I love parent mentoring, both in pregnancy and postpartum. I truly believe that parenting starts in pregnancy, in the choices you make. For me, it’s the parent mentoring, hands down.”
- Amy
“Helping parents become empowered in their choices as they learn about psychological birth and work through their birth fears. My favourite thing to hear from my clients is “I feel so much better about birth now!”
- Christine
