Toronto Birth & Labour
Doula Support
Professional Childbirth Doula Support for families in Toronto, Ontario
Doulas play a crucial role in the wellbeing of birthing individuals and their infants. At Toronto Birth Doula, we like to support families inclusive of their choice of birth place, whether that’s doula support at home, in hospital, or at the Toronto Birth Centre. All births matter, and all births benefit from professional guidance and support. We strive to offer evidence-based prenatal and childbirth support from a non-biased lens.
Our founding Doula is a certified childbirth educator, mindfulness meditation coach, trained midwife assistant (at The Farm in Tennessee), waterbirth expert, and has experience in over 500 homes over 10 years supporting families in pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
We offer labour and delivery support at all hospitals in the Greater Toronto Area, including but not limited to Sunnybrook, St. Mike’s, Mount Sinai, St. Joe’s, Michael Garron, Brampton Civic Hospital and more. Postpartum support in hospital or NICU is available.
