Virtual Doula

While I am on maturity leave I will be offering doula services virtually!

This is perfect if you don’t need/can’t have physical support or you live in a area without many doulas available. Still would love the benefits of having a doula on call and available during pregnancy, labour and postpartum.

My approach to preparing for birth and parenthood is not only educational and supportive but fun! I include worksheets, videos, art projects and more in all of my support options.

Consultations are always complimentary. For local clients Car Seat checks are available when possible (available to everyone by donation), your welcome to use any of the books, carriers or tools in my lending library, tens machine rental is $30.00 (includes tens pads), birth pool rental available through my partner (Royal City Birth).
