Arabella Gray Birth & Postpartum Doula in Kamloops, BC
About Arabella
My name is Bella! I use they/them pronouns and I’m in my early 20s. I’m Two-Spirit and I’m a member of Biinjitiwaabik Zaaging Anishinaabek/Rocky Bay FN. I’ve been a Kamloopsian for 2 years, and I live with my fiancee and our beautiful kitty Daisy. My background is in childcare. I loved working with kids, but loved working with families one-on-one even more, and eventually moved on to child development and frontline cultural support. It was there that I started working with newborns and pregnant people. Seeing the need for perinatal support in our community encourages me to do this work and support families.
