FAQs

  • A full spectrum doula offers continuous care across the reproductive and life-cycle spectrum — through bleed, birth, death, parenting and everything in between — depending on their individual expertise and offerings.

    This could look like:

    • providing explanations of procedures, protocol, and policy relevant to the client & their journey

    • creating space for discussion in order for the client to make empowered and informed decisions about their own care

    • providing tools, resources and information

    • suggesting comfort measures and coping techniques in labour or early birth

    • inspiring the client to recognise their unique strengths, abilities and innate intuition

    • guiding them to assert their desires and communicate their concerns to their care provider in order to improve odds at achieving an excellent outcome & experience.

    • providing physical, emotional and informational support through various life shifts & transformations

    I currently offer gentle care and support through family building, fertility, loss, pregnancy, birth and postpartum/parenting.

  • The benefits of having dedicated support through life's cycles, seasons, transitions, and thresholds are numerous — and research shows that continuous care throughout pregnancy and birth creates meaningful differences:

    • Birthing people supported by doulas are more likely to experience spontaneous vaginal birth

    • Labour tends to be shorter and progress more smoothly

    • There is less need for medical pain management and interventions

    • The likelihood of cesarean birth is significantly reduced

    • People report feeling more positive and empowered by their birth experience

    • Stress and anxiety levels are notably lower during labour

    • The foundation for early parenthood is strengthened

    The presence of a doula through life's profound transitions creates ripples that can extend far beyond the birth space. Whether you're seeking companionship through pregnancy or perinatal loss, moving through IVF, navigating pregnancy loss or intentional release, marking meaningful life passages, or creating ritual for closure and healing — as a doula, I bring deep listening, practical wisdom, and gentle guidance to these tender spaces, helping you feel witnessed and supported through times of both joy and grief.

    Curious about how we might weave support into your journey? I offer complimentary 30-minute consultations to explore working together during pregnancy, postpartum, or other significant transitions. Reach out here.

  • Full spectrum birth support honours the full spectrum of birthing and reproductive experiences. Every birth is different and all birthing people deserve care that is affirming of their informed choices. While I have a great respect and trust in the physiological birth process, as a full spectrum doula I advocate for all birthing people to birth in a way that feels right for them and their families. This means that I’m committed to providing non-judgemental and compassionate support for all my clients.

    If you are choosing to birth your babe(s) in your home, in a hospital setting or birthing centre, with an obstetrician or a midwife, with or without medical interventions — you deserve to do so feeling confident and affirmed in your choices.

    As your doula my support in this space is tailored to ensure you receive the kind of individualised care that feels right for you and your family as a whole.

  • Yes! Payment plans are available for my pregnancy, and birth packages. I also offer sliding scale pricing on my closing ceremonies, pregnancy loss and abortion support offerings.

    When utilising sliding scale pricing I simply ask that you choose the dollar amount that is both meaningful and sustainable for you, while also honouring my energy and work that I provide.
