Hello loves! I'm Ariel, a certified birth doula, herbal medic and birth photographer. I stumbled into the role of birth attendant in my early twenties by being the peace bringer and atmosphere regulator to all my girlfriends who were having babies. I gave birth to my first just a month after turning 17 and had the wonderful favor of a peaceful birth attendant who did more than rock my hips during labor, she strengthened my resolve and spoke to my body directly, encouraging through the rough parts and tuned my heart to find joy even in the pain. Ever since then I've found myself cultivating a knowledge set that would help women through the many trials of pregnancy, labor and post partum. This is more than a job for me, this is a calling. And every woman who has entered my care becomes a life long sister in birth.

Recent review

We initially worked with Stacy as a newborn care specialist for postpartum care with our second daughter. Our first contract lasted 8 weeks and we extended beyond. After needing additional support when our second daughter was 9 months old we reconnected and she helped provide trusted care to both our daughters. Stacy is trustworthy, timely, professional and approachable. She is willing to meet you where you are at and and has years of experience and knowledge to support you on your parenting path.

If you never thought about a doula or really don’t know what it is, do it. It’s the best support and understanding you will have! Courtney was the BEST! We didn’t have the exact everything o as we thought or planned for but with all the extras she was the best thing we could have asked for to have within our journey of our arrival! Before drying and after she has been our unconditional support in person through calls and even texts!!! Don’t deny yourself the right to have the doula! Do it and I suggest her a million times over to anyone. We will be using her again for our next child!!

Delicate Doula Services was founded by two best friends who have a passion for supporting women through the birthing process.

Recent review

I didn't know what a doula was before Diane, and I'm so glad our paths crossed and I got to have that supportive experience. I wouldn't have another baby without the support of a Doula, or Diane more specifically. She was not only amazing with me, supportive, encouraging, etc. But she was great with my birth partner, my husband. She guided him so he could support me in the best ways possible. Would recommend any day.

Doula Services FAQs

What is a doula and why should you hire one?

A doula is a trained support specialist who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and after childbirth. 98.6% of births in the U.S. take place in hospitals, and nearly all of them require some kind of medical intervention. However, doula-supported deliveries are linked to shorter labor, decreased need for medications, fewer c-sections, higher rates of breastfeeding initiation, less anxiety, and less postpartum depression.

Can you pay for a doula with HSA or FSA funds in Elliot Lake, ON?

To use HSA or FSA funds for doula services, they generally need to be considered medically necessary. You might need a doctor's note or prescription stating that doula services are necessary for a specific medical condition. Keep detailed records of payments and any supporting documentation, such as a doctor's note or prescription, to substantiate that the expense was medically necessary.

How much does a doula cost in Elliot Lake, ON?

In Elliot Lake, ON, doula costs are typically in the range of about $900 to $1,800 CAD for a standard birth support package, with some services starting around $700 for limited support and going above $2,000 for more comprehensive packages that include multiple prenatal visits, continuous labor support, and postpartum follow-up; postpartum-only doula care is often charged separately at roughly $30 to $50 CAD per hour.

Are doulas covered by insurance in Elliot Lake, ON?

In Elliot Lake, Ontario, the cost of a doula is typically not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP), as doula services are not considered medically necessary. However, some private insurance plans may partially or fully cover the costs if the plan includes wellness or health spending accounts. It's essential to check with your specific insurance provider to see if doula services are covered. Additionally, some community programs or non-profits may offer support for doula services in specific circumstances.

What types of doulas are for hire in Elliot Lake, ON?

In Elliot Lake, ON, individuals can hire various types of doulas to support them during different stages of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. Common types include birth doulas, who provide emotional, physical, and informational support during labor and delivery; postpartum doulas, who assist families with newborn care, breastfeeding, and household tasks during the postpartum period; and sometimes fertility doulas, who support individuals or couples undergoing fertility treatments. Some doulas may also offer specialized services such as bereavement support, lactation assistance, or holistic care approaches. Availability and services may vary, so it is recommended to research local providers or networks for specific offerings in the area.

When should I hire a doula in pregnancy?

You can start researching and contacting doulas as early as your first trimester. This allows you ample time to find a doula who aligns with your birth plan and build a rapport with them. Many people choose to hire a doula during their second trimester, around weeks 12 to 27. By this point, you likely have a clearer understanding of your birth preferences and can engage a doula who can provide support tailored to your needs. If you’re in your third trimester or even approaching your due date, it’s not too late to hire a doula. Some individuals make this decision later in pregnancy due to various reasons, and doulas can still offer valuable support and information during this time. The availability of doulas in your area may also influence when you hire one. In some regions, experienced doulas may have limited availability, so it’s wise to start your search early to secure the support you desire.

What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?

A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.

How much does it cost to use Bornbir?

Recent doula reviews near Elliot Lake

— Jourdan T., review of Courtney Holbrook November 2025

As a first time mom, I couldn’t have asked for a better birth experience thanks to Courtney. Her confident, calm, and compassionate demeanor instantly made me feel at ease. More importantly, Courtney gave me the freedom to be myself and honored my birth plan with dignity. Her extensive knowledge about the mental, physical, and emotional toll of labor provided me with clarity and validation. Courtney is simply the best!

— Claire H., review of Courtney Holbrook November 2025

Courtney is calm, caring, compassionate, and dependable. Having her with us for the birth of our second baby helped make my birth experience something I look back on with pride, appreciation, and empowerment. From the moment she arrived at our house, to the moment she left the hospital, her calm and confident presence brought me relief and comfort. She was supportive of both me and my partner, while encouraging me to intuitively lean into birth. Knowing Courtney was there made it easier for me to keep myself calm during labor. She helped keep me comfortable, gave me reminders, and answered my questions with soft, yet reassuring, eye contact. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula to support me during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
