Maria

Service Description

Support begins with trust. I am a birth and postpartum doula, as well as a yoga and Pilates teacher specializing in prenatal and postnatal yoga.   My journey into birth work began through my own experiences as the mother of four children. Throughout my pregnancies, births and postpartum, I experienced challenge, empowerment, fear, grief, courage and immense joy. ​ As a prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher, I have also had the privilege of hearing many women share their pregnancy, birth and postpartum stories. Their experiences have shown me the wide range of challenges and joys that families encounter. ​ My personal experiences, together with the stories families have entrusted to me, has inspired me to become a doula. ​ I provide evidence-based education, compassionate guidance and individualized support so that families can better understand their options, build confidence and self- trust, establish clear personal boundaries, and advocate for themselves throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and the postpartum.
