Offering 01 · Metro Vancouver
Continuous, evidence-based care throughout pregnancy, labour, and birth. As your dedicated birth doula, I provide grounding physical comfort, compassionate emotional holding, and clear informational advocacy so you feel empowered and informed every step of the way.
Studies consistently demonstrate that continuous doula support during labour is associated with shorter labours, fewer medical interventions, higher spontaneous vaginal birth rates, and a significantly more empowering birthing experience.
What This Service Includes
From relationship building and preparation in pregnancy to unyielding support during active labour and gentle postpartum reflection.
Preparation & Connection
Building a foundation of trust, education, and personalized birth planning.
These visits are designed to build a relationship, discuss your birth preferences, address any concerns, and provide education on the birthing process. We'll cover topics such as pain management techniques, partner support, and what to expect during labour and delivery.
Labour & Delivery
Steady, continuous physical, emotional, and informational presence at your birth.
Early Transition
Gentle debriefing, feeding support, and postpartum wellness check.
Equitable Accessibility
I use the green bottle sliding scale framework to price my services equitably. I give thanks to Alexis J. Cunningfolk for developing the green bottle method.
"For a sliding scale to work it relies on the principles of truthfulness, respect for complexity, and accountability. I do not ask for income verification. I trust my clients to be honest. Community thrives when accountability is a central value, because that is where trust grows and depth work can be done."
— Alexis J. Cunningfolk (AJC)
