Gentle Birth Supported by Science

Congratulations on your pregnancy! It is such an exciting time. I hope you are enjoying it.

Comprehensive Prenatal Classes

My prenatal classes prepare students for a healthy, gentle birth. Classes are comprehensive, covering everything from exercise and nutrition, through birth, breastfeeding, and baby care. I present scientific evidence, so you can confidently make decisions for you and your baby.

Partner Focused Childbirth

I offer partner coached childbirth classes and doula services in Ottawa and Gatineau. Birth is a transforming event for a family and having a prepared partner beside you makes the journey all the more beautiful. Without fear, they bond better with you and with the baby. Partners will learn doula tips and tricks support you during labour.

Creates Confidence

I have been in business since 2008 and my students and doula clients experience far fewer interventions – such as inductions and c-sections – than the regional average.

Unlimited 24 hour a day email/phone support

Unlike other prenatal class in Ottawa, I give you my home contact information and will answer phone calls and emails from the time you register for class, during middle of the night births, and through the first few weeks at home.

Ottawa Doulas

As a doula, I can also offer labour support services to my students. I love to work with students because I know them so well after talking with them in class, week after week.

Beautiful, Gentle Birth

Whether you have a midwife or a doctor, what you’ll learn in class will help you prepare for a beautiful birth. I’d love to talk with you about the benefits of my prenatal classes, doula services, and how I might help you prepare to give your baby the best start in life.

Take good care of that growing babe!
