'As a passionate gardener, I see my role as a doula and my belief in the birth process in a similar light; to nurture, water and support, knowing that the ability to blossom is in the plant itself.'

Relevant Background:

I am the mother of four, two boys, two girls, ages 29, 26, 16 and 13.  I experienced labour and delivery when I was 25, 28, 38 and 41, so I have no trouble relating to mothers at a few stages of life.  I have attended 5 other births over the years before training and 12 births since my training. References are available on request.  In my "other" working life, I was a paralegal in family and criminal law for 20 years, helping people in all sorts of stressful situations.

Services/fees:

$600.  This fee includes at least two prenatal visits, labour and delivery, and two postpartum visits.

Postpartum services available on request and negotiable at the time.
