Birth Journeys Doula Care Services

I love being a Doula and have been so privileged in being a part of building families for many years. Now I am embarking on a new challenge! This September 2021 I am starting at UBC School of Medicine, Midwifery Program. It has been my dream for many years and I am so excited to get started! I will not be taking clients during my semesters but will take clients in the summer between May 2022 and mid August 2022. I will still be an active member of VIDA Doulas so please feel free to connect if you are looking for a Doula either during those times or not and I will help to find the support you need!

Food for thought!

Take care out there!!

“Swedish oxytocin researcher Kristin Uvnas Moberg writes that the doula enhances oxytocin release which decreases stress reactions, fear, and anxiety, and increases contraction strength and effectiveness. In addition, the calming effect of the doula’s presence increases the mother’s own natural pain coping hormones (beta-endorphins), making labor feel less painful (Uvnas Moberg, 2014).” -
