Although there are still many professional doulas working in solo practices, we find the agency model to be the most beneficial for doulas and the families that hire them. If you’re considering doula support for your birth or for your postpartum recovery, these are the top 6 reasons you want to choose a doula agency in Edmonton, Alberta!
On this particular morning, I jerked awake, reached for my phone the way I always do when I am on call and, of course, all is well. There’s a text from my client Judy. She was having a few contractions yesterday, but they slowed down and eventually went away in the night.
Since 1992 the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) leads a global celebration of midwives on May 5th. Although there is still a lot of work to do in Alberta to insure access to midwifery care for as many women as possible, we are very fortunate to have a great list of midwifery practises in the Edmonton area. Today we celebrate and honour the amazing work they do!
There are many reasons why bottle feeding might be the right choice for you. Maybe it’s the choice you make from the start, a transition for when you’re back to work, or a result of breastfeeding difficulties. No matter the reason, the important thing is that your baby is fed, and bottle feeding certainly helps with that!
I am a postpartum doula.
I am a nurturing spirit who creates joy and ease; a trusted expert; someone who not only teaches, but also actively listens. I foster confidence. I help families understand and navigate through their conflicting emotions. I support and guide families through the rough waters during those first few hours, days, weeks, and months at home with their new baby.
