As a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula of 18 years, I provide compassionate, evidence-based support to families throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the early postpartum period. With a calm presence and a deep commitment to informed choice, I assist clients in navigating their birth preferences, offer physical and emotional support during labor, and help new parents transition confidently into life with a newborn.

Hey everyone! My name is Chantell, and I am a Certifying Birth and Postpartum Doula located in Brampton, ON, Canada. I love all things about bringing new life into the world and the early years! With over 15 years of experience supporting children, youth, and families, my journey into doula work is rooted in a lifelong calling to nurture and uplift others. From babysitting, daycare assistant, children and youth mentorship to foster care, autism therapist and intervention support worker, I’ve always found purpose in creating safe, loving spaces for growth and transformation. As a sister, godmother, and dog mom, I bring a unique, empathetic lens to every family I serve—meeting you right where you are, without judgment or expectation. I’m deeply passionate about helping families feel safe, seen, and supported during the sacred transitions of birth and postpartum. I specialize in nurturing peaceful environments where your voice and choices are honoured. Whether you're preparing for your first birth or growing your family, I offer hands-on support, informed guidance, and a steady, affirming presence every step of the way. My goal is to ensure you feel empowered, confident, and truly cared for—because you deserve a birth and postpartum experience that is peaceful, supported, and everything you desire it to be.

Hi, I’m Angelina, co-founder of Cradira and a Perinatal Support Worker/Postpartum Doula serving families across the Greater Toronto Area. I provide overnight postpartum support for expecting and new parents who need more rest, more reassurance, and fewer “are we supposed to know what we’re doing?” moments. My work includes newborn care, postpartum recovery support, feeding and sleep guidance, emotional reassurance, and practical help with the everyday reality of life after baby arrives. Because yes, the baby is a big part of postpartum. Obviously. But so are the dishes, the laundry, the night plan, the feeding setup, the relationship stress, the texts from people asking how they can help, and the fact that someone still needs to know where the clean sleepers are. Over the last 25 years, I’ve learned that families usually don’t need more pressure or perfect-parent advice. They need someone calm, experienced, and practical who can walk into the real-life version of their home and help things feel a little less chaotic. Many of the families I support are also carrying more than newborn care alone: anxiety, depression, PMADs, fertility stress, loss, neurodivergence, relationship strain, or the pressure of being the person who usually keeps everything running. I don’t diagnose or provide therapy, but I am very comfortable supporting families where these realities are part of the picture. That might mean taking over baby care so parents can sleep, supporting a feeding plan, talking through newborn sleep, helping with bottles or pump parts, giving parents a chance to rest, or helping make the household pieces a little easier to manage. Sometimes the biggest relief is not a complicated plan. It’s someone saying, “Okay. Here’s what we’re going to tackle next.” My approach is warm, inclusive, evidence-informed, and rooted in real life. I’m not here to tell families there is one right way to do this. I’m here to help them feel steadier, more supported, and less like they have to hold everything in their heads. Baby doesn’t need perfection. Your family needs steady support, realistic plans, and someone calm in the room when everything feels like a lot.

Hi there! I'm so happy you're here. I am a certified full spectrum doula in Toronto. I am so honoured to do this meaningful work in supporting families during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. I have assisted over 300 families, and love seeing you come into your power and confidence as a new family. It takes a village and I am happy to be part of yours.

I am familiar with hospital policies and your birth rights. Reach out with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am an artist and writer living near Toronto, Canada. I am passionate about being outdoors as much as possible and watching things grow. I am simultaneously certifying as a doula specifically for labour/delivery but also for end of life. I believe in the goodness of the human body and am specifically in awe of the birthing body’s magic. The rhythms and cycles we live in at a physical and emotional level have always fascinated me. It is a privilege to support individuals and families undergoing beautiful, massive, world-shifting transitions.

I grew up enchanted by midwives—their cheerful energy and seemingly magical presence as they welcomed my siblings into the world. That early fascination inspired my path into women's health. With a background in physical therapy, I have a deep passion for pelvic health and reproductive wellness. As a doula, I strive to provide evidence-based education, compassionate and holistic care, and strong advocacy so that families feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout their birth journey. I hope to further specialize in lactation, exercise therapy, and water birth, and I am committed to continual growth and lifelong learning in my doula practice. I also love research and aspire to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of women's health in the years ahead. Outside of my work, I enjoy hiking with my preschooler, reading, writing about birth experiences in the East, and deepening my spiritual practice as a Muslim.

Hi there, my name is Emily.

My role is to help you feel informed, cared for, and supported as you prepare to welcome your baby and adjust to life together. As your doula, I’ll guide you through birth and postpartum planning, help you advocate for your needs in labour, and offer comfort through every stage of the process. After birth, I provide nurturing practical care for both you and your baby, including education, sibling care, light housework, meal preparation, and nourishing postpartum recipes (I especially love cooking and baking meals that support recovery and milk supply). My philosophy is rooted in the understanding that physical, mental, and emotional well-being are deeply connected. I integrate nutrition, yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness to help you reconnect with your body and trust your intuition as you move through this tender time. Most of all, I’m here for you, to create space where you can feel held, supported, and at ease as you care for yourself and your baby. My website: https://lunetteperinatal.com

Hello! I am a certified labour doula, postpartum doula and childbirth educator. I love helping people feel educated and prepared to welcome their new little one. Everyone deserves good and equal care and I am here to make sure you are heard and respected to have a better birth experience.

Hello! I'm so glad you're exploring support for this incredible journey of parenthood. As a birth and postpartum doula, I'm passionate about providing nurturing, evidence-based care to families as they welcome new life. From offering continuous comfort and advocacy during labor and birth to providing practical and emotional support in the crucial early weeks and months, I'm here to help you navigate this transformative time with confidence and ease. Beyond the birth and immediate postpartum period, I also offer support as a certified childbirth educator, empowering expectant parents with comprehensive knowledge and practical tools for labor, birth, and early parenting. Furthermore, as a certified infant and child sleep educator, I can provide gentle and effective strategies to help your little ones (and you!) achieve restful nights. My goal is to holistically support your family's well-being, providing guidance and care across a range of needs, so you can thrive in your new role.

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.

I am a Certified Birth Doula whose work is deeply rooted in compassion, strength, and connection. A mother of three, a Certified Hypnobirthing Childbirth Educator, Lamaze Childbirth Educator (certifying), postpartum doula, placenta encapsulation specialist and Social Service Worker, I bring a steady, nurturing presence to every family I support. Whether advocating fiercely for your needs, holding space with tenderness, or wrapping you in one of my famously comforting hugs, I am committed to being a steady, grounding presence as you welcome new life. I believe birth is a normal process that people underestimate their ability in, and hope to be a part of putting an end to fear-based, patriarchal approaches to bringing babies into the world.
