Hello! I am a doula & birth photographer in Ottawa. I am a mom of 3 school-aged kiddos. I am a huge believer that every birth is different and there's no “right way” to birth your child! I support you in your journey!

Hey, my name is Joefin (a.k.a. 10oclockjoefi). I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, and a certified sexual health educator. I provide education and support in Tamil and English! I have been doing this for 13 years, typically supporting first-time birthing people, racialized or immigrant families, or survivors. I like to describe my role as being there for your head and heart. While pregnant, I help you prepare for life as a parent, work with you to approach birth with confidence, and empower your support system to help you through the moment. Labour should be a purposeful yet manageable experience for you. One where you have control over the moment. After birth, I provide practical, informational, emotional, and social support. If you’re looking for a reliable cheerleader in your corner, I’m the childbirth educator or postpartum doula for you. I am a third culture kid who grew up in the United Arab Emirates and Canada so I have a special place in my heart for anyone who shares in the diaspora experience. I know firsthand the unique challenges this poses in major life transitions. I trained in Chennai, India with an OBGYN in providing pregnancy and postpartum support to parents in a culturally aware manner. I came back to Canada with that knowledge, learned about the Canadian labour/delivery system, and began supporting immigrant and refugee families through childbirth education and health systems navigation. This has shaped my practical approach to parental support and newborn care. Drawing from my biology and psychology education, I bring a matter-of-fact yet empathetic approach to everything I do. I conducted research on how intersectional identities impact sexual distress and my paper has been published in the Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality! Given my areas of expertise, I have a passion for myth busting and science communication as a means to combat misinformation. This often empowers parents to make informed decisions while avoiding unnecessary pressures. My lived experiences make me passionate about supporting parents as they create happier, healthier, and safer childhoods for their babies.

Hello, my name is Laaziza Ouabi. I am a trained midwife from Morocco with over five years of experience supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, which helps me understand and support the emotional and mental health needs of new mothers and families. Since moving to Ottawa, I have worked as a Personal Support Worker, gaining hands-on experience in providing personal care, emotional support, and daily assistance. Alongside my clinical work, I create educational content on social media where I share pregnancy and postpartum tips with a growing community of mothers, which has strengthened my ability to connect with families and offer guidance in a supportive, accessible way.

My goal as a doula is to make the transition to parenthood smoother, safer, and more positive for both parents and babies.
