Aya

Service Description

Hi, I'm Aya! I am a fertility, birth, and postpartum doula supporting families in Greater Vancouver. I want you to feel held, nourished, and at ease in your body throughout your journey. I have a warm and lighthearted approach (and occasionally some silly banter)! My holistic approach is informed by my studies in somatic therapy and Asian traditional practices. I have extensive experience supporting diverse family structures and QTBIPOC. I see birth work as community care and being a part of the village. I provide evidence-based information, practical support, and gentle care so you feel grounded, confident, and well-informed when making decisions. I will listen to your vision and desires around your birth and support you in advocating for that. I will witness you, encourage you, and hold space for you during this sacred time. My care extends into postpartum where I offer holistic postpartum care rooted in Asian and Mexican practices. This service includes preparation of warming and fortifying meals, herbal folk remedies, heat therapy, and traditional forms of bodywork. This supports your physical recovery and tends to your spirit, providing emotional grounding and integration following birth. It is such an honour to journey alongside families during this tender and transformative time. I look forward to connecting with you!
