Birth Doula Package - Postpartum Doula Package - Terms of Service -
"...Continuous support [in labour] was most effective when provided by a woman who was neither part of the hospital staff nor the woman's social network..."*
Birth Doula Care Package
Even after reading dozens of books and getting advice from countless experts, parents often enter labour with feelings of fear and with little knowledge of how to navigate the decision-making moments of birth. Your doula is there as your guide to labour! She meets you at your home, helps you know when to go to the hospital, reminds your partner of what support practices they learned in class and helps you understand what your options are for labour and delivery.
Your doula will share one of your most intimate moments with you and will be a part of a memory that will last your entire life. So the right match for you is important.
We love working with clients who:
-get teary at the thought of their partner holding a baby
-are ready to see what they've got even if they're a little scared
-like to laugh
-are open-minded
-are seeking guidance about coping with birth outside of what they've learned in books

Postpartum Doula Package:
Parents are often overwhelmed with the challenges of postpartum adjustment and can significantly benefit from the support of a postpartum doula in the first few weeks after their baby is born. When you invite a postpartum doula into your home, you'll have an easier time finding balance within your new family, feel more connected to each other and your baby, feel more rested, better fed, will be less likely to experience postpartum depression and have more breastfeeding success.
Your postpartum doula will visit you 2-3 times per week and offer services that may include but are not limited to:
- Hands-on education on infant and mother care (breastfeeding, bathing, diapering, calming techniques, preparation of formula if bottle feeding)
- Create a nurturing, restful atmosphere in which parents may eat, shower and nap
- Introduce parenting tips, helping parents to learn skills that will enable them to cope with their new responsibilities
- Screen for hurdles such as breastfeeding challenges or postpartum mood disorders
- Shop for groceries and prepare meals
- Help with housework such as light laundry, washing dishes, sweeping floor, etc
- Help initialize a routine for your baby and your family
- Refer you to another care provider should your needs exceed our scope of practice
- Sleep training (beginning at 4-6 months of age)
- Other duties to be discussed with client at time of contract signing.
It may be difficult to knowin advance how often and for how long you'll need a postpartum doula - so to reserve your care, you'll submit a deposit covering your first 8 hours of care and an estimate of how frequently you'd like to see your postpartum doula. We can adjust our time together as needed once you get to know what challenges your unique postpartum situation presents for you.
Our postpartum doulas serve Mississauga, Etobicoke and all regions of Toronto.
