Empowering women and partners through their conception, pre-natal and post-natal journey
"The focus of my service is to support and empower women with conscious conception, pregnancy, birth & postpartum choices. I assist women to listen to their inner guide, honour their present journey, trust their body, and follow their motherly instincts. My goal as a Doula is to help women connect to their feminine wisdom and trust as it guides them through this amazing, life changing experience."
What is a Doula?
A doula's role is to ‘Mother the Mother’. Doula is an ancient Greek word meaning “a woman who serves”, whose definition has come to mean a woman who helps other women. The word has further evolved to mean a woman experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother, partner and baby before, during, and after childbirth.
