Your wonderful doctors and midwives are there for baby. I am here for you, from pregnancy through toddlerhood, as you are initiated into your new identity as a parent.

This is what I strive to offer:

  • A space where you feel seen, held, and safe to express yourself and share your stories (your joys and sorrows, hopes and worries, ideas and questions, laughter and tears, and everything in between) and where you may process and integrate emotional and physical experiences. A space free of shame where healing and growth can take place.

  • Easing the process of change. Providing that energetically feminine sense of comfort and care to new families, regardless of gender, as they adapt to their new role as parent (or as they welcome another child into their family and navigate that transition as a unit).

  • Gentle guidance as you learn to trust your intuition, honour your feelings, manage external pressures, and make decisions that are right for your family.

  • Compassionate reassurance as you learn to care for your baby or child (whether you have physically birthed them or not).

  • Empathy as you learn, unlearn, and relearn. Again and again.

  • Practical tips on managing pregnancy and postpartum related symptoms.

  • Practical tips on preparing for baby’s arrival.

  • Practical tips on caring for yourself (or a loved one) during the postpartum period.

  • Insight and honesty. No sugarcoating or scaremongering.

  • Support as families grow in number and wisdom.

  • Info and resources.

  • Bottle-feeding support.

  • Miscarriage support.

  • Abortion support.

SERVICES

VIRTUAL SUPPORT SESSION
$100 CAD + HST per hour*

Virtual sessions only (phone or video call).

Attendance at birth as an emotional support person may be possible for Toronto-based clients. 

Everyone is worthy of compassionate, nurturing, transformational doula care. I offer a limited number of pro bono sessions per year for those for whom finances are a barrier to accessing support.

10% of all earnings made from the sale of each virtual support session will go towards Women’s Shelters Canada. 

*Quick texts and short calls, within reason, are permitted between hourly sessions.

“The feminine values the intelligence of our feelings; recognises the necessity of ceremony and rites of passage; teaches the power of listening and being witnessed; holds the significance of intuition and dreams; it is sensitivity itself, vulnerability, and it honours the body's wisdom.”
