Adrienne is a birth & postpartum doula, yoga teacher, and proud mama. She attended her very first birth in 2012 and was immediately hooked! Since then, she has had the privilege of attending over 200 births and supporting close to 300 families postpartum. Adrienne offers caring, compassionate, non-judgmental support to expectant parents and is honored to work with families during such a life-changing time. As an experienced doula, she supports clients who are low or high-risk, who have had fertility challenges, previous traumatic births or pregnancy loss, anxiety, depression and trauma.

I am a birth worker since 2012, I have provided a variety of services in a variety of settings around the world. I am located in Toronto, Canada, but I am available to travel for minimum one month commitments. I have worked in Macau & Hong Kong, Manila, Nairobi, Vancouver, and Guadalajara, and have a global perspective on birth physiology and traditions. I provide trauma-informed, and culturally safe care, be it education, lactation support, birth and postpartum doula services, or midwifery care. I’m available as a midwife only where a license isn’t required. My approach is very collaborative—rather than “save” you from unsafe practitioners, I prefer to work with you comprehensively in the prenatal period to be sure you have the environment you need for a peaceful and satisfying (physiologic, if possible) birth. My years and depth of experience and knowledge sets me apart from most locally-focused doulas, so I tend to work well with expats and globe-trotters like myself. My happy place is home in Ontario in the near North, at the cottage that has been a part of my family’s experience for 100+ years. I love all animals but especially dogs, and I ADORE drinking coffee and discussing big ideas.

Hi

My birth journey started almost 20 years ago, with the birth of my own amazing child, whose unexpected breech presentation caused me to shift my birth plans significantly. Over time I have been called to support different parents as they navigate their own journeys into parenthood. My experience has encouraged me to be especially empathetic and supportive of parents who have had births outside of their expectations. Experience has taught me, this is almost all parents.

I am a DONA certified Birth doula and a Lamaze certified childbirth educator and a trained post partum doula. I offer a system of support for women and their partners. My goal is to ensure and demystify the birth experience.

Hi my name is Stephanie Zelembaba and I am a Naturopathic Doctor and co-owner of Abaton integrative medicine. I have a special focus in perinatal (from family planning through postpartum) and pediatric (from newborn to teens) care. Along with my Naturopathic practice, I teach HypnoBirthing prenatal classes (in-person and virtual, group and private) - helping expectant mamas (and their birth companions) develop the tools to have a calm, safe and as comfortable as possible birth. I am also a trained Naturopathic Doula, providing parent's-to-be with labour preparation and day-of labour support.

I believe that all parents deserve to feel encouraged, respected, and empowered to make the best choices for their families.

Hi, I'm Jessica Hill. I have a deep passion for supporting expectant couples throughout pregnancy and beyond. When I was expecting my first born, I took HypnoBirthing® classes and had an empowering natural birth in a hospital setting with midwives. My second pregnancy was high risk and I again called on these techniques to stay calm and focused throughout pregnancy and birth. After my birthing experiences, in early 2018, I certified as an educator with the HypnoBirthing® Institute. It brings me so much joy to be in service to expecting families and I would be honoured to be chosen as your birth educator. It is my goal to help families feel prepared, relaxed and confidant about their upcoming birth. I believe that the combination of breath, visualization, education, self-hypnosis, affirmations and relaxation will give expecting couples the tools they need for a calm and empowering birth.

I love God, my family, my pup Boo, everything birth, and empowering families through education because knowledge is power! I love teaching birth doula workshops through DONA and have been a doula for 27 years, a Trainer for 17 years, and a CLC. Join my 3-day workshop from anywhere as I teach mostly virtually through Zoom.us and you'll receive 3 certificates, all of which are the first steps in becoming certified through DONA International.

Passion and a genuine desire to support and empower people is what brought me to birth work nearly 15 years ago. I am humbled and honored to be welcomed into the lives of my clients during such a personal, transformative time. I strive to ensure every individual receives compassionate and personalized care, paired with fact-based knowledge, so they feel confident and comfortable during their pregnancy, labor, birth, and beyond. As a Doula, I provide comprehensive support to expectant parents, offering physical, emotional, and educational guidance throughout pregnancy, labor, and beyond. Through in-person and virtual childbirth education classes, I empower individuals with knowledge about maintaining a healthy pregnancy, navigating labor and delivery, and caring for their newborns. Additionally, I serve as a trusted resource for evidence-based information on various topics including breastfeeding, postpartum care, and infant care. I am committed to accessibility and inclusivity, and I collaborate with community organizations to offer low-cost and free services to under-resourced individuals and families. In addition, I've established and maintain a bi-weekly breastfeeding support group, fostering connection and providing vital support to lactating individuals. Through collaboration with local healthcare professionals, including Midwives, Doulas, and IBCLCs, I actively identify and address challenges within the community, striving to create positive changes and support families in their journey towards parenthood.
