Best Doula Ottawa Near Me

4worldlovers: Born in this city, I am a mother of 2 older children and have 2 grandbabies. I have been working with children & families for over 30 years. I was acting as a Doula before I knew what a Doula was. I come to the table with support, awareness, communication skills, a helping hand and 100% commitment to giving you the best birth and postpartum experience that is within our control.

A Doula is someone who supports, empowers, instills self belief in the women they care for, their families and their support systems. A Doula listens, encourages and reminds women what they are capable of. A Doula is the one who is there to help be your voice when you aren’t able to or can’t muster the words, is a champion who naturally jumps in to help and know exactly what you need. A Doula is someone you can trust to bring nurturing, love and compassion.


A Birth Doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to expecting parents before, during, and after childbirth.

A Postpartum Doula provides valuable support in the postpartum period by assisting new parents with emotional and physical recovery after birth, as well as providing guidance and education on newborn care. This may also include referrals to other healthcare professionals if needed. Postpartum Doulas offer encouragement and a listening ear during a time when emotions can be particularly raw.

The work of Doulas sets the foundation for women and families to build a strong society and make the world a better place.

“People will forget what you said, will forget what you did

I am very excited to assist you in your birth and/or postpartum Period. This is a time where the family needs to form some routines and may need some physical and/or emotional support with this.

My heart is happiest when I am working with families from pregnancy to seeing families fly on their own. Whether you are doing this with or without a partner, a same sex partner, have a single baby or multiples, no what your household situation looks like, I come without bias or judgement. Whether you are looking for birth support, postpartum or both, I come with the evidence based knowledge, resources and experience to support you. No matter what the scenario, my commitment to you is always the same and is for every family I work with. I will support you during the day, for overnight support or both.

Pregnancy and birth come with joy but at times can come with some fear, anxiety or frustration so it doesn’t surprise me how many people find themselves online with ‘Dr Google’. I would much rather provide you with information to help you feel less overwhelmed in your process. With such a wide variety of technology/products available, trying to make sense of it all can be challenging. I will provide you with product knowledge, help you set up your space and can help you simplify it all. I am here to steer you into the direction where you feel empowered to do it on your own. Births look different for everyone and I will be there for whatever it brings from the beginning to the end.

I feel that the postpartum period can get overlooked by some care providers and that leaves mothers and families feeling lost and without direction. You come home with your new bundle and somehow find yourself alone and not knowing where to start. I would like to replace ‘Dr Google’. During the postpartum period there are so many questions and I am hoping to answer them for you.

What does my baby’s birth look like when I imagine my special day?

Where can we find support for my partner to best support me?

“The emotional and psychological support that the doula offered me was huge. In addition, she was available often on short notice, which was very helpful for my family. Having the immediate support when needed enabled me to get the sleep that I needed to be the best mother to my family.”
