Hello Everyone, we are Suyin Jordan, a certified postpartum doula, IBCLC. Certified New Parent Educator with a background in nursing and midwifery in the UK and Petra Nobel, CPD, CNPE and Certified Sleep Consultant, with a background in maternity nursing in the Netherlands. We are the co-owners of Thornhill Doulas. Pregnancy, childbirth and the first few weeks of parenthood is an amazing time in our lives. It should be about the birthing parent, partner (if there is one), baby or babies and what they want for this special time. However, in our fast paced and hectic lifestyles, it can often feel completely overwhelming, especially as more people are living further away from traditional family support. Having doula support will smooth your transition to parenthood- a Magical yet challenging time! We are ready to support all your childbirth and parenting needs, including lactation and sleep.
Petra was truly a guardian angel during the postpartum period with both of my children. Her calm, knowledgeable presence made me feel completely at ease as she gently guided me through those early days—from newborn care and giving both my babies their first baths, to supporting us through colic, reflux, and sleep challenges well into toddlerhood. Her support was invaluable, and I honestly don’t know how I would have managed without her. I can’t recommend her highly enough to any new parent.

Hi there, my name is Marj — a birth and postpartum doula, a yoga/fitness instructor, an essential oil educator, and a mom of two! I am deeply committed to wellness as a holistic lifestyle. You're welcome to book a time in my calendar (https://calendly.com/marjwong/30-45min), I'd love to connect OR send a DM on IG @marj.wong As a DONA certified doula, I believe it is within each birthing person’s innate wisdom and ability to give birth. As well, birth should be an empowering experience. Throughout both of my own pregnancies, I practiced prenatal yoga, and I attribute my own remarkable birth experiences to my yoga practice and the HypnoBirthing method. From motherhood, becoming a birth and postpartum doula was a natural progression for me and I quickly found myself fully immersed in supporting clients through pregnancy, labour and beyond. It is in this role where I feel my intuition, guidance, and personal experiences to be incredibly supportive and valuable. The maternal period can be challenging, but with the right support, I know it can also be an incredibly joyous and transformative time. I am a diaper-free, breastfeeding, and HypnoBirthing advocate. I've been trained in many comfort techniques and tend to keep my approach educational and informative. With my help, you will gain the confidence to nourish and care for your baby and yourself in the best way possible. Chat soon and I look forward to supporting you!

I am a birth worker since 2012, I have provided a variety of services in a variety of settings around the world. I am located in Toronto, Canada, but I am available to travel for minimum one month commitments. I have worked in Macau & Hong Kong, Manila, Nairobi, Vancouver, and Guadalajara, and have a global perspective on birth physiology and traditions. I provide trauma-informed, and culturally safe care, be it education, lactation support, birth and postpartum doula services, or midwifery care. I’m available as a midwife only where a license isn’t required. My approach is very collaborative—rather than “save” you from unsafe practitioners, I prefer to work with you comprehensively in the prenatal period to be sure you have the environment you need for a peaceful and satisfying (physiologic, if possible) birth. My years and depth of experience and knowledge sets me apart from most locally-focused doulas, so I tend to work well with expats and globe-trotters like myself. My happy place is home in Ontario in the near North, at the cottage that has been a part of my family’s experience for 100+ years. I love all animals but especially dogs, and I ADORE drinking coffee and discussing big ideas.
If you want the best, hire Christy. Where to begin? We LOVED working with Christy. If you’re reading these reviews wondering if you should have her as your doula, you definitely should. Our experience with Christy was nothing short of extraordinary. After the birth, I described Christy to my husband as our angel - as it felt that she magically appeared and blended in, giving just the right level of support and guidance, without being overbearing or intrusive. Her presence felt very natural and she completely put myself and my husband at ease. Christy played a pivotal role in helping me establish breastfeeding, which really helped set us up for success with feeding, and having her there to help with this immediately after the birth was invaluable. After our daughter was born, Christy continued to check in with us, and we felt extremely well looked after. She is clearly an expert both in caring for mothers in the postpartum period, but also in caring for newborns, and her years of experience meant we felt in very capable hands. Her dedication to postpartum care is unmatched, and her deep understanding of the emotional and physical needs of both the birthing person and their partner is truly remarkable. Christy’s passion for what she does shines through in every interaction, and her knowledge in perinatal care is both comforting and empowering. I give Christy my highest recommendation – any family would be very lucky to have her as part of their parenting journey!

Hi, I’m Miranda Hill (she/her), but you can call me “Mimi”—like my grandkids do. I’m a certified birth and postpartum doula. My mission is to provide knowledgeable, compassionate doula support to birthing people, growing families, and new humans. My unique approach is supporting, informing, and celebrating who you are; the choices you make; and the people you call family. My care is warm, affirming and inclusive. Yes, life is changing—but you still get to be you! I’m here to be your champion. Why choose me? I’m trained in the latest best practices for doula care and have an additional 25 years’-experience supporting birthing people and new parents as a writer, postpartum group facilitator, and midwifery advocate. I'm a member in good standing of the Association of Ontario Doulas. My Trainings + Certifications: Birth Doula (Doula School International/Doula Canada) Postpartum Doula (Doula School International/Doula Canada) Lactation and Infant Feeding support (Doula School International/Doula Canada) VBAC-Certified (The VBAC-Link) Size-Friendly Pregnancy support (Plus-Sized Birth) Surrogacy support (Doula School International/Doula Canada) TENS for pain relief (Sharon Muza) IPAC—Infection Prevention and Control (Public Health Ontario) Food Safety Training (Canadian Institute of Food Safety) Emergency First-Aid and CPR AED-C (Canadian Red Cross)
I had the absolute privilege of having Mimi as my doula, and I can’t imagine my birth experience without her. From the very beginning, she offered unwavering support—through every home visit, phone call, and message, both before and after the birth. Mimi has a gift for truly listening and making you feel heard, respected, and empowered in your choices. As I approached and passed my due date, she spent extra time reassuring me and calming my fears, always offering thoughtful insight and compassion. She provided such helpful, trusted resources that gave me peace of mind throughout my pregnancy and leading up to my labour. During labour, Mimi’s intuition was remarkable—she seemed to know exactly what I needed before I even said a word. Her presence and guidance in each moment brought such a sense of calm, peace, and strength and she was such a gentle yet powerful part of my birth team. Her sensitivity, wisdom, and resourcefulness made all the difference. She had a ‘toolkit’ of techniques and items that helped me have the home birth experience I dreamed of having. If you’re looking for a doula who will truly walk alongside you with care, insight, and presence, I can’t recommend Mimi enough. She is a gift!

Hello, my name is Bohdana (she/her), and I became a Doula because being in a supportive role, sympathetically and empathetically meeting you where you are at in your journey, is something I am both proficient and passionate about. I will be by your side as you bring your baby into the world whether at a hospital, birthing center, or in the comfort of your own home. Once baby is born, I will continue to provide you with educational support as well as encouragement and emotional support as you become acquainted with your baby. I will support your infant feeding journey (breastfeeding or otherwise) and offer household organizational support. I have time to get to know YOU, not just your birth preferences. I have time to provide you with as much support as you need throughout your entire journey. I genuinely love supporting others and being an empath means this role comes naturally to me. After birth, both parent(s) and baby need a lot of support. I can do overnight but also daytime 8-hour shifts to help care for baby so that you can get some rest, or on a consultation basis – an informative session on infant care, breastfeeding techniques and restorative care for the parent who gave birth. I feel blessed that as a doula, I am part of such a beautiful moment and environment called birth, where I am able to help enable mothers to help believe in themselves that they strong, beautiful and powerful. Making moms feel loved, supported, cared for, and special during their labours and births is so rewarding. My first languages are Ukrainian and English, but I can also support you in conversational Russian and basic German!
Working with Doula Bohdana was an incredible experience. Her support during our birthing journey was invaluable, making the entire process amazing. Beyond the delivery, she continued to be a pillar of assistance during postpartum appointments. Bohdana provided valuable insights on proper baby feeding and ensured we found moments to rest and recover after giving birth. Highly recommend her for her expertise and genuine care.

Sara was my doula. She was very important for me to be able to prepare for my birth, and it be a special moment for me.

Tracy Mwalumba is a Certified Full-Spectrum Doula, Holistic Pediatric Sleep Consultant, and Postpartum & Infant Care Specialist known for her warmth, dedication, and unique ability to make families feel both supported and empowered on their journey from birth through infancy. With deep compassion and a gentle, natural approach, Tracy offers comprehensive care that nurtures the emotional and physical well-being of both babies and parents. As a holistic pediatric sleep consultant, Tracy specializes in creating nurturing, natural sleep solutions that support the well-being of the entire family. Her gentle, family-centered sleep methods focus on building healthy, sustainable sleep patterns with minimal stress, empowering parents to foster calm and restful routines that grow with their child. With Tracy’s guidance, families experience a holistic approach to sleep that considers both the baby’s needs and the family’s harmony. In her role as a birth and postpartum doula, Tracy brings a calm, reassuring presence to labor and delivery, ensuring birthing parents feel grounded and confident. Her support continues seamlessly through the postpartum period, where she provides gentle, personalized care that makes the early days of parenthood feel manageable and affirming. Tracy’s work helps families transition into life with a newborn with peace and confidence, honoring each family’s unique needs and traditions. Beyond her work, she enjoys writing, painting, meditating, and cherishing time with her husband and daughters—embracing creativity, mindfulness, and connection every day.
We’ve worked with several night nurses and postpartum doulas over the years, but none have come close to the level of care, presence, and professionalism that Tracy brings. From our very first night together, I could feel the difference,she has this intuitive way of knowing exactly what both baby and parents need. She’s warm, confident, deeply knowledgeable, and just so naturally gifted in her work. I was able to sleep deeply knowing our baby was in the very best hands, and I woke up feeling more rested and emotionally lighter every morning she was with us. Tracy is truly worth her weight in gold. She brought so much peace into our home during a season that could have easily felt overwhelming. Beyond the practical support, she helped me trust my instincts again and reminded me that I was doing a great job,something every parent needs to hear. I’ve never felt so supported, seen, and cared for by someone in this role. If you’re considering hiring Tracy, don’t hesitate. I would bring her back in a heartbeat, and I recommend her to every new parent I meet.

Hey hey! It's Jerusha here:) I am a birth and postpartum doula located in Tillsonburg, Ontario. I'm so passionate in playing a role in restoring pregnancy + birth to be a sovereign and peaceful journey. There is so much fear in society surrounding birth and I believe that through thorough education and lots of support, that can change! Mother lead, honourable, and sacred is how I dream of all births to be. I love to serve and create safe and meaningful relationships with my clients. Can't wait to connect with you!
Having Jerusha at my birth was the best thing ever. She was kind gentle and so understanding! She was an excellent support when hubby needed so rest. She was so knowledgeable about physiological birth and we loved having her there.

I am passionate about providing comprehensive support to families during the postpartum period. Whether it's boosting confidence in breastfeeding, ensuring you enjoy a two-handed lunch (because let's face it, handling a sandwich with one hand can be tricky!), or facilitating much-needed nap time after sleepless nights, postpartum doula support plays a crucial role in the holistic growth of the entire family.
Being a new parent is hard, but no one tells you that despite the new bundle of joy, life has to go on. Kana was instrumental in making sure that my wife and I were able to ease our way into being new parents. Kana's practical assistance around the home and with newborn children is highly recommended. Her skill as a post-partum doula is a result of her pro-active attitude and consistent implementation of empathy, understanding and kindness into her practice. I cannot recommend her enough, and if you are a new parent, I strongly encourage you to engage her services. Thanks again Kana!

Hello! Thank you for being here! My name is Kristin, I’ve been on a mission to encourage women to take back birth and own their unique stories through yoga, breath, reiki, Ayurveda healing and traditional remedies. *Please note I only companion women in births at home outside the system*
Dearest Kristin, I am writing you to thank you for the gift you have given my family, myself specifically. It was a no brainer investing in a doula for this second pregnancy, and everyone was right - we had no regrets picking you! A clear comfortable contract didn’t prepare me for the support you provided. Though we hired you for post-partum care, you were a support during my very hard pregnancy. You provided me validation, connection, spiritual healing, not to mention the massages my body so desperately needed! Deciding whether to be induced was a huge mountain for us. I was high risk and my body had enough. You helped me understand my decision with love and compassion. You were so flexible with scheduling to respond to my extended hospital stay. You supported me through the phone and I felt safe leaving the hospital to come home to your care. A day with you nourished our family physically and spiritually. We were so shattered from the trauma of the birth and extended stay in the hospital. You supported our sleep, eating, and encouraged ways for us to connect while we were transitioning to a bigger family. Cooking for us, cleaning for us, yoga with my toddler while my husband and I could regroup. Having you for a few overnights helped so much with my healing and recovery. I am so grateful for investing in my recovery and choosing you. Anna

Hi, I’m Emma, your local birth bestie and birth aficionado! I’m a DONA trained doula based out of Toronto, ON looking to support families throughout their birth journey. My goal is to provide amazing care to each client, tailored to their specific needs. Ever since I was young, I have been passionate about supporting families. Inspired by my childhood dreams of being a early childhood educator, an OBGYN and later a midwife, I have always felt a strong pull towards family care and birth work. In my community, I started by becoming the favourite neighborhood babysitter, then in University I became a loving part time nanny, then moved on to work as a manager of a children’s swim school for several years. Alongside my passion for birth support, I have a deep appreciation for art and creativity. I spent three years working at an art gallery and went on to get my Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree in Painting. Even then, my dream of caring for families never left me, with my passions leading me to run impromptu prenatal education sessions during lunch breaks at work. In May of 2024 I made the exciting decision to take a step back from my art career and focus full time on becoming a doula. Now, I am dedicated to being the best “birth bestie” I can be for my clients by proving them with compassionate care, encouragement, and unwavering support every step of the way.
Emma was my virtual doula and was wonderful! She helped me make informed medical decisions and also gave great advice and support with everything during pregnancy, labor, and birth!

Words can’t fully express how grateful we are to have had Doris as our birth doula. From the very beginning, she brought such a calming, grounded, and nurturing energy into our journey. She took the time to truly get to know us—our fears, hopes, and birth preferences—and made us feel completely supported and empowered every step of the way. During labor, Doris was an absolute rock. She created a peaceful environment, gently guided me through each contraction, and helped my partner feel confident and involved. Her presence was intuitive and comforting—knowing just when to offer words of encouragement, grounding touch, or simply hold space. She honored our birth plan while remaining flexible and wise when things needed to shift. What stood out most was how she held space not just for the physical birth, but for the emotional and spiritual process too. Her care felt ancestral, like something deep and sacred was being honored. Postpartum, she checked in with such genuine care, offering wisdom, warmth, and reassurance when we needed it most. If you’re looking for a doula who is deeply attuned, knowledgeable, and truly walks beside you in love and respect—Doris is it. She made our birth experience not only beautiful, but transformational

My name is Aly, and I’m the proud owner of Nurturing and Nesting, a birth and postpartum doula practice dedicated to supporting and empowering mothers through every stage of their journey. I created Nurturing and Nesting to provide thorough, personalized care that helps families thrive before, during, and after birth. My mission is to educate and empower parents with the knowledge and tools they need to care for themselves and their newborns, all while honouring the sacred experience of birth. I’ve always had a deep love for nurturing, whether it’s caring for babies, toddlers, or children, or fostering meaningful relationships with friends, family, and even pets. I truly believe that with the right mindset, atmosphere, and support, birth can be a transcendent experience, one that leaves a lasting, positive impact on both parents and their little one. It’s about creating a space where love, confidence, and calm can grow.
Alycia came into my home postpartum to help me both with childcare and some small housekeeping. Her experience with children speaks for itself. She’s not only kind, patient, and compassionate, she’s also naturally comfortable caring for children. Having a support in your home postpartum that is strictly there to support you is an invaluable experience. Having not only help with my baby and some help cleaning up, but also just a nonjudgmental, knowledgeable source to speak all things postpartum to, really lightened the postpartum mental load. I would welcome Alycia into my home to help with my baby and I anytime.

Hi there! My name is Juliet Beckwith (she/her) and I am a certified full spectrum doula with 3 years of experience supporting families in the GTA through birth and postpartum. Let's schedule a consult to learn more about how I can best support your growing family!
Juliet was an incredible addition to our first pregnancy and birth experience. Juliet is a wonderful listener - attentive and in tune to our approach and areas of pregnancy, birth and post-partum that were not as familiar with (and had more questions or concerns). Juliet is incredibly well informed and knowledgeable and her advice/care was always informed by research and expertise, and without judgment. Juliet’s goals were to ensure we were well supported, had an advocate in the room during a hospital birth and to ensure that our experiences were as consistent with our own expectations as possible - not her own expectations, views etc. As someone who has been a people pleaser my whole life, I had assumed so much about the doula relationship and whether there were expectations to labour a certain way but Juliet made very clear that this was my journey (and my partner’s) and that she was there to support us in achieving that. As Juliet says, “You’re the boss!”. Juliet shares a number of resources and tips throughout the relationship which we found to be very helpful (and clearing a lot of the social media pregnancy advice noise). While my labour experience was not what we expected or hoped for, I still walked away from it feeling very positive and cared for, and I especially felt like I was able to make decisions along the way with Juliet’s support of my agency. Juliet was by my side (literally) every step of the way and I’m so grateful for her positive and calming energy through it all. We cannot recommend Juliet enough.

Hamilton, Ontario
I believe every woman deserves to be cherished, heard, supported, and cared for after giving birth. I received a lot of support from my own mother after birthing each of my 3 children. This has inspired me to use my own experience, and knowledge from my training, to offer a high level of loving support and care to others on their postpartum journey. I’m passionate about creating a non judgmental space for parents and babies to learn and grow together.
“I wish I knew about Bornbir sooner, as it's so important to surround yourself with experts who understand during those overwhelming moments and share evidence-based information.”
“I found my birth doula on Bornbir. After submitting my needs, I was able to connect with several awesome doulas that are within a local distance from me.”
“Bornbir is a powerful network. It makes connecting with maternal providers so much easier. It means supporting one another through this parenthood journey, no matter what stage you are in.”
