Birth and Postpartum Support

Hi my name is Madi, and I’m a mixed Acadian/Migmaw birth and end-of-life doula in the Edmonton area. I decided to become a birth worker and end-of-life doula because I believe every single person deserves an advocate. Every person deserves autonomy and the right to make decisions. Every person should be allowed access to traditional medicines. Trained through DONA, I have practiced as a birth worker for about two years. I have serviced births in every Edmonton hospital, and I have experience with at home water births. Birthing to me is a sacred act that should be seen as just that - sacred. It is beautiful, incredibly difficult, joyful and life-changing. When it comes to my end-of-life, I have been certified as an Indigenous End of Life doula via Lifting Their Minds End-of-Life Indigenous Doula Training. It is incredibly important to me to hold space for both the entrance of life, and the departure of life as both worlds can sometimes coincide. I look forward to hopefully connecting with some of you x

My mission is to support women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum by fostering confidence, autonomy, and joy in the birthing process.
