Frequently Asked Questions

What does a birth doula do?

I provide continuous support for your body, heart, and mind during pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum.
I hold space for you to connect deeply with your intuition, your baby, and the birthing process, offering calm presence, emotional support, and gentle guidance.

I work alongside your medical team — never replacing them — to ensure your journey feels safe, sacred, and empowered.

Do you support hospital, home, and birth centre births?

Yes. Wherever you choose to welcome your baby, my focus is on helping you feel grounded, centred, and supported.
I honour your choices and help you navigate the environment with calm and confidence.

Do you support medicated births or cesareans?

Absolutely. There is no “one right way” to give birth.

I support unmedicated births, medicated labours, planned or unplanned cesareans, and everything in between.
My priority is helping you stay connected to your body, your baby, and your inner guidance, no matter how birth unfolds.

When should I book a doula?

The best time is when you feel the calling for support.
Many families reach out between 20–32 weeks, but it’s never too early to begin holding space for your journey.
I work with a limited number of families so I can provide deep, attentive presence.

What areas do you serve?

I support families in Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, and surrounding areas.
If you’re unsure about your location, we can discuss this in a consultation.

What’s the difference between your packages?

All packages include continuous labour support and a postpartum visit.

• Holistic Birth Doula Package ($2,300) — deep prenatal preparation, emotional alignment, and body-centred support, including bodywork.

• Basic Birth Doula Package ($1,700) — steady, grounded birth and postpartum support with lighter preparation.
  
  

• Repeat Birth Package ($1,300) — streamlined support for returning clients.
  
  

The difference is how deeply you want to prepare, connect, and nurture yourself before and during birth.

How much do your services cost?

Packages range from $1,300–$2,300, reflecting the level of support and preparation offered.
Birth is a sacred, transformative experience, and investing in guidance helps you feel held, confident, and empowered throughout the journey.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. We can create a plan that works for you while honouring the value of the support provided.

Are you on call for my birth?

Yes. I provide 24/7 on-call support around your due window.
This ensures you always feel supported and grounded whenever labour begins.

Do you attend long labours?

Yes. I remain with you throughout active labour and birth, providing steady presence, comfort, and emotional support.
We discuss rest and pacing in advance, so support remains sustainable and nurturing.

What happens if you can’t attend my birth?

In the rare event of illness or emergency, I have trusted backup doulas available.
You and your baby’s well-being are always honoured and protected.

Do you replace my partner or support person?

No. I support both you and your partner (or chosen support person).
I help them feel confident and connected, guiding their presence so your birthing space remains calm, loving, and empowering.

How do I know if we’re a good fit?

If you are seeking calm, grounded, intuitive support and value preparation, presence, and sacred care during birth, we are likely aligned.
A consultation gives us space to connect and see if this guidance is right for your journey.

How do I get started?

The first step is to book a consultation.
Together, we explore your hopes, fears, and intentions, and determine which level of support will hold you most fully throughout your birth and postpartum journey.
