We believe preparation is key to a confident start to parenting. In assisting hundreds of families, we've established a proven pathway and have developed a comprehensive system to effectively prepare for both birth and the postpartum period.

• Birth Planning Session with Kate

  • What do you want your birth to look and feel like? What are your options? What are the paths your birth could go down? You’ll go through all these questions and more. Using your workbook, and Kate's experience as a childbirth educator and birth doula, you'll plan for a confident and empowering birthing experience, with you at the centre.

  • Did you know? Kate is a birth and postpartum doula, and childbirth educator.

• Postpartum Planning Session with Cayla

  • In your meeting with Cayla, she'll walk you through the first 3-months with your baby. You'll discuss feeding, sleep, postpartum mental health, and planning for a smoother recovery and transition to parenthood.

  • Did you know? Cayla is a birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and sleep and lactation specialist.

• You'll have continuous doula support through your labour and delivery, from at home, and at your birth location from either Kate or Cayla.

• In early labour, we will communicate by text and video calls until you are ready for in-person, hands-on, doula support.

• We'll help you navigate contractions, positions, and pain management throughout the different stages of your labour.

• Doulas are shown to reduce the need for pain medications, reduce cesarean rates and most importantly increase birth satisfaction. 

• Partner support and guidance. We'll encourage and support your partner/ support person in taking an active role in your birth experience, make space for their own nourishment and rest needs, or provide guidance if they are feeling overwhelmed. Together, we all work as a team.

• The use of a labour tens machine, galaxy projector light, LED candles, twinkle lights, birth affirmation cards, and peanut ball.

• 2 - 3 hours of immediate postpartum assistance to help with the first latch or feeding method of your choice, and help you get settled in the hospital or at home. 

• Photos and/or video on your phone or camera. A professional photography package can be purchased separately.

• Cayla and Kate alternate an on-call/off-call schedule to provide you with 24/7 support coverage. When your labour starts, the doula on-call will provide continuous labour support. In the event of an emergency, the off-call doula or a backup doula from our team will be arranged.

• Home Visit with Cayla

  • Your first home visit is typically booked between days 3 - 5.

  • We expect this period to be one of big changes as your milk supply transitions, and your hormones make you feel like you're on an emotional rollercoaster.

  • Cayla will help with feeding and latch support, discuss sleep (and how you can get as much as possible!), and answer your initial baby care questions.

• Home Visit with Kate

  • Your second home visit is typically booked between days 7 - 11.

  • As the first week unfolds, so will your list of questions on baby care, feeding, and navigating the next few weeks. Your visit with Kate will cover all your burning questions, and can also include bathing support and additional latch and feeding support.

• Continued guidance through our WhatsApp group chat for the first 2 weeks after your baby arrives.

• Additional postpartum doula support packages are available as an add-on.
