Hi, my name is Maida and I'm a certified birth, and trained postpartum doula. My primary focus is birth support, but if you also want a little bit of help transitioning once you get home with baby, I'm available for that too. I tend to be a calming, quiet presence, and my clients usually comment on how I keep them feeling steady and grounded during birth. I live in Calgary with my husband and two pre/teen boys. I love to garden, knit, and dance. I bake all the things, and can't wait to settle down on a small farm someday.

Birth support includes: Two prenatal meetings to get to know each other, and discuss your options, fears, and preferences. Unlimited support when you go into labour, as well as first feeding support. Up to two visits postpartum to assist with feeding, and to check in and assess your needs. I also offer my personal lending library to clients for the duration of our contract. If you would also like some postpartum support at home, I offer that in addition to birth, with a minimum of twelve (12) hours booked. I am not able to offer overnight support at this time.
