How is Your Heart today?
A question that should be asked daily so we can truly care for you.
Heart+Womb Doulas cares about you as a whole person. Your spirit, your mind, your emotions, and your body. So two questions your doulas will continue to ask you:
How is your heart? How is your womb?
Or in other words, how are you truly doing? In the depths of your heart, what sits there? And then, how is your connection to baby today? What is your maternal instinct whispering to you?
Our Approach
HOLISTIC
This means we consider your whole being inclusive of your mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and social needs from pregnancy through to the fourth trimester. We recognize how the mind, body and baby are interconnected and support that connection with science.
CLIENT CENTERED
Your thoughts, preferences, and concerns are what guide your care. We don’t just want to share what we believe is important. We want to focus on the areas you believe are a priority. We serve as a bridge to help you navigate the confusing medical system while also educating you on ways to advocate for yourself.
Community Focused
Let’s build the community (our village) we hope for together. Are there programs or initiatives you’d like to see? Share them with us and let’s work toward bringing it to fruition.

What Part of Your Journey Would You Like Support For?
Fertility - Pregnancy - Labour - Postpartum
Having a hard time navigating through pregnancy? Worried about labour? Want to prepare for labour with prenatal classes? Concerned how you’ll be able to push your little one out of your womb? Or maybe you're anxious about knowing what your newborn needs, while you try to take care of yourself? We’re here for it all! As birth and postpartum doulas, we have helped hundreds of families navigate the same challenges you’re about to face.

The Experience You’re Looking For
Group Support - 1:1 Support - In-Person - Virtual
For those within our catchment area you get a mixture of physical and virtual interactions throughout our time together. Group movement classes. Group childbirth education classes. Private planning sessions. One-on-one doula support (virtual or in-person). Video calls or telephone calls. Texting in our group chats or within our community chat (coming soon).
Or your prenatal classes, labour support and postpartum questions can all be experienced virtually, where we get to chat through text messaging, scheduled video calls and impromptu telephone calls.

Are we a good Fit? Book Your Connection Call to find out
Ensuring we share the same mindset, vibe and approach to birth and motherhood is very important to us. You need to feel safe and understood for our time to be most effective together. So let’s start with a 20 minute conversation discussing your birth and parenthood vision and how coaching can help.

We’re Family Now
We are here for you. To ask regularly, how is your heart? How is your womb? We’ll answer your burning questions, provide suggestions and information, work with you to reduce anxieties, help you prepare for what’s ahead and just be here to listen. At the end of our time together, we know you’ll feel more confident to make decisions, be better aware of your parental instincts, have realistic expectations of what’s to come and be an extension of our family.
Our Values
Family
We keep your family as our top priority. Too often we forget about the family unit as a whole. The mother needs mothering, the father needs fathering and the baby needs both their parents to thrive. The WHOLE family needs to be considered throughout the entire process, from fertility to life with babe.
Courage
Advocating for yourself and your family is a necessity and yet it still takes bravery. We see how challenging this can be time and time again, so we are here to support you as you find your voice and what you'd like it to say. As you make more choices that align with your values, preferences and family’s needs, you will begin to feel more confident in your choices.
Wisdom
Life is a whirlwind of decisions, all of which requires understanding and knowledge. We are here to guide you toward the tools, resources and knowledge you need to make those tough decisions. Please know, what feels 'right' for one family, may not be the same for yours, so no judgement and no comparison.
Community
People are inherently social beings. We need social connection, validation and protection. So we prefer to do the fertility, pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum journeys with like minded care providers and people. As we all may have realized over the last few years, life is better when we do things together. Let us know if you'd like to be a part of our community.
