The Doula Collective
The WOMB Doulas are a team of Doulas and Childbirth Educators committed to providing expectant and new parents with exceptional emotional, physical, and educational nurturing, love and service. While under the care of a Midwife, Family Physician and/or Obstetrician, we provide support both in the home and/or in hospital, giving families the best care possible.
MEET OUR DOULA TEAM
Historically people had elders and whole communities to help them with a new baby…
Childbearing women relied on their close-knit community to educate and assist them in labour, birth and early care of their children. Today we call this childbirth professional a Doula. Their goal is to increase confidence and decrease fears, allowing for a more positive, peaceful birth and postnatal experience.
We know that many families experience isolation after having a baby. Add postpartum symptoms to the mix and the struggle intensifies further.
When you’re a new parent getting out of the house can be intimidating and downright overwhelming. Maybe you’re asking yourself: “Now what?” or “How do I support myself and provide for my baby?”
We truly understand your challenges and have a collective of Doulas who can help. Our team of experienced Doulas are here to help families navigate their experiences, share their wisdom, and educate parents & caregivers on their journeys. With expertise in fertility, birth, postpartum, and grief & loss we meet you every step of the way with compassion and care.

Joelle T.
“I couldn’t have imagined going through pregnancy and labour without Laura. I was extremely anxious and she helped me through everything by answering all of my questions and pointing me towards evidence based resources on every topic that I asked about. She listened to me and helped me advocate for myself to feel empowered and in control. I would 100% recommend hiring Laura as a doula.”
