Birth Doula Support

What do birth doulas offer?

Physical Support:
Position ideas for comfort and labor progression cross over with hands-on comfort measures like comforting touch, counter pressure, breathing techniques and other “doula magic” for families. A doula’s skilled hands and positioning tools can often help a Mal positioned baby find its way through the pelvis and into the birthing parent’s arms.

Emotional Support:
Doulas help families to feel supported, easing the emotional experience of birth and also helping to create a space where the hormones of labor can work at their best. Whether a birth is completely unmedicated or medically very complex, every family can benefit from nurturing and connection at this tender, incredible time in their lives.

Partner Support :
Whether it’s a romantic partner, a friend or another family member like the baby’s grandma, the birth partner’s experience matters in birth. Our doulas are there to support every birth partner in being as involved as they’d like with the birth. Physical and emotional support make a huge difference for everyone involved.

 Evidence-Based Information and Advocacy:
​ DONA International doulas are trained to help families connect with evidence-based resources so they can ask great questions and make informed decisions about their births. Our doulas serve as a bridge of communication between their client and their providers, lifting them up to help them find their voices and advocate for the very best care.


The Birth Doula’s Contribution to Modern Perinatal Care

Research shows that people who use a birth doula are:
less likely to need Pitocin
less likely to have a cesarean birth
less likely to use any pain medication

more likely to rate their childbirth experience positively

All families benefit with a birth doula on their team!

Birth Doula Support
Investment: $1,850

As your birth doula, I offer continuous, personalized support designed to nurture and empower you through every stage of pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. My role is to walk alongside you—holding space, offering evidence-based guidance, and ensuring you feel deeply supported every step of the way.

Your doula package includes:

-A complimentary consultation to connect and explore how I can support your vision for birth

-Access to my lending library of trusted books and resources

-2 prenatal visits to build connection, discuss birth preferences, and prepare emotionally and practically

-Comprehensive birth and postpartum planning, tailored to your needs and values

-Ongoing phone and email support throughout your pregnancy—you’re never alone with your questions or feelings

-24/7 on-call availability beginning seven days before your estimated guess date

-Continuous support during labor and birth—offering grounding presence, comfort measures, advocacy, and calm

-Two hours of immediate postpartum support following birth (breastfeeding, newborn care, emotional grounding)

-One to two postpartum visits in the weeks after birth for processing, recovery support, and continued guidance

-Breastfeeding support to help you get off to a strong start with feeding


My care is always centered on your autonomy, intuition, and well-being—whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, or something in between. It would be an honor to walk with you through this transformative time.

Fall 2025: solo is full * see note below* 
2026: 
Jan: 2 solo spots 
Feb: 3 solo spots

**At this time, my calendar for solo care is currently FULL. However I am still offering shared care support- a thoughtful model in which you receive personal, one to one care from a small trusted team of doulas. 

This approach offers you the same level of connection, presence and individualized support, with the added benefit of increased availability and shared expertise.  You will build a relationship with each of us and your care will always feel intimate, intentional and centered on you **

The Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant Program (DAFGP) is offered by the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres, First Nations Health Authority, and the BC Ministry of Health. The goal of the program is to increase healthy birth outcomes for Indigenous families by removing the cost barrier to accessing doula services.
​
The grant program provides Indigenous families living in BC up to $1,200.00 (maximum) of coverage for doula support with each pregnancy.

Steph is currently approved to offer this !

BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY SPOTLIGHT 

I am beyond thrilled to introduce Alana. We met at a beautiful homebirth and I was SO impressed with her calm presence and her ability to document without interrupting the birth process.
Here is some more info : 
​
At Alana Renée Photography, I strive to capture the beauty and emotions of life’s most precious moments. I have been photographing professionally since 2015 and have been blessed with the opportunity to photograph countless families, couples, newborns and births.

My unique style of photography is a mix of traditional and photojournalism; capturing the joy, love, and emotion of the moment. I believe that each photograph should tell a story, and I strive to capture the essence of that story for each of my clients.
