Find a Doula Near Me in Richmond, ON

Hi, I’m Lucy — a mom of two, an educator for over 20 years, and a DONA-trained postpartum doula. For two decades, I supported children and families as a Montessori teacher, and have also worked as a nanny in family homes, creating spaces where little ones feel safe, capable, and understood. These experiences shape the way I support families today — with patience, attentiveness, and deep respect for each family’s unique rhythm. Over the years, I’ve come to understand that my strength lies in being calm, steady, and deeply attuned to the needs of the families I support, while also bringing clear communication and thoughtful organization to each day. Becoming a mother myself expanded that understanding in the most profound way. I know how tender the early days can be — the exhaustion, the questions, the quiet moments of awe, and the vulnerability that comes with loving something so completely. With my DONA training, years in education, and lived experience as a mother, I offer calm, grounded, and practical support during this transformative season. All are welcome here. I proudly support parents of all identities and family structures. You deserve to feel supported in the early days. I’m here to come alongside you with gentle care — so you can settle in, breathe deeply, and grow into this new beginning with confidence.

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!

As a Postpartum Doula, I provide compassionate, practical, and emotionally supportive care during the transition into parenthood. My approach is rooted in calm, connection, and respect for each family's unique journey. I offer newborn care, feeding support, guidance through the early weeks, and a reassuring presence as families find their rhythm. Whether you need a listening ear, hands-on support, or evidence-informed education, I am here to nurture the child, empower the parent, and strengthen the family. Serving families with warmth, patience, and a non-judgmental approach, I help create a foundation of confidence, connection, and wellbeing during the postpartum period.

Hi! My name is Joefin Peter. I am a certified reproductive-spectrum doula (labour/birth, postpartum, fertility, loss/abortion) & sexual health educator. When we say it takes a village to raise a child, we often forget that it actually takes a village to support new parents. I hope to be a part of your community! In my opinion, creating community starts with a "home away from home". I have a passion for supporting diasporic families, third-culture kids, and immigrants like myself. My specialty is blending science and cultural practices. Racialized individuals can feel isolated and helpless as a result of immigration, acculturation, and individualization. These feelings are then magnified when dealing with sexual & reproductive health. This is where I come in! I aim to be a reliable source of education, support, and comfort. I operate from a feminist, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed lens.

This foundation allows her to stay current with evidence-based practices while appreciating the natural and cultural aspects of childbirth. Whether you are preparing for a natural birth or exploring other options, Danielle provides the guidance and emotional support to ensure your experience feels right for you and your growing family.
