Laura Seiler

Hi! I’m Laura, a mom, wife, friend and most importantly a follower of Jesus. I am a certified birth doula serving families across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland. My passion for birth began after the caesarean birth of my first son. The more I learned, the more deeply I fell in love with the process of labour and birth. In 2023, I experienced a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean) with my second son the most empowering moment of my life. This journey shaped the way I support families today. My heart and my goal are to ensure that every person involved in the birth feels seen, valued, and loved. I’m honoured to walk alongside you and look forward to learning more about your story and your journey.

Mak Brown

Hello! My name is Makaishea or Mak! I am a trauma informed birth and postpartum doula here on the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil- Waututh Nations (Lower Mainland, BC more precisely the Tri-Cities). I come from mixed Caribbean, Indigenous, and European heritage. Specifically, Jamaican and Matsqui First Nations, we are one of the 11 tribes that make up the Sto:lo Nation here locally in the Sumas Prairie (Abbotsford). I am proud to be dedicated to improving maternal and newborn care/support within my communities and beyond. I am a mother of 2 beautiful children. A wife to my amazing and supportive husband. A sister, daughter, godmother, and friend. I enjoy learning, growing and staying connected to what matters most. My spirituality is very important to me and helps guide my values, mindset, and daily life. I am a strong believer in "humour is one of life's best tools" In my spare time, I enjoy reading, weightlifting, hiking, traveling, spending time outdoors, laughing with friends and family, and a good caramel latte ♡ I look forward to meeting you!

Working with Mak has honestly been one of the best decisions we’ve made during this pregnancy. From the very first consultation, she was so kind, genuine, and informative. She came to my home, sat down with me, walked me through what her role as a doula would look like, answered all my questions, and instantly made me feel comfortable. I never felt pressured or “sold to” at all. If anything, she gave me the information and confidence I needed to make the best decision for myself. What stood out to me most was how empowering she was. She reminded me that I was fully capable of having a beautiful birth experience with or without a doula, which I really respected. In the end, I chose to move forward with her because I could tell her focus was truly on supporting both me and my partner throughout the experience. She also checks in often just to see how I’m doing and how pregnancy is going, and she always congratulates me with each passing week. It may seem small, but it’s been so encouraging and reassuring during this season, especially after 4 previous miscarriages. Our first official appointment together was amazing too. My partner was there and had such a great experience with her as well. She’s very hands-on in such a comforting and supportive way. She guided us through different exercises and learning activities without it ever feeling overwhelming. She brought dolls to teach diaper changing, diapers, a medicine ball, handouts for birth prep, interactive card games around birth preferences and important conversations, and so many other thoughtful tools. You can tell she really knows her stuff and genuinely cares about the families she works with. The heart she brings into her work is really special and has made this experience even more magical than it already always was!

Hayden Brame

11 years of experience

Hi everybody! My name is Hayden Brame and I am a doula here in the Twin Cities. I have been working with children and their families since I was a teenager (more than 10 years now!) and am so passionate about families and making sure that every family has the best start imaginable. I believe that giving birth should be empowering and focus on the choices that you are able to make and on giving you the information that you need to make those choices. I will advocate for your decisions, from everything from what music to be played to what pain management you would prefer, and I will also hold space in the moment for any changes that you need. Birth is sacred and should be treated as such- at the end of this experience, you'll have a new member of your family to start a life with and I want to make sure that you are set up for success every step of the way!

Recent review

Hayden was a wonderful doula to have at my first birth. Her experience with a TENS unit, acupressure points, and applying counter pressure during all my contractions was crucial to my smooth labor. She kept track of all my contractions and when they began to get farther apart she encouraged me to start walking. She also coached my husband and sister on counter pressure so they could help me as well. Hayden’s calm presence helped keep me stable and focused throughout the day and I’m so thankful that she could guide me through my first birth!

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 Galiano Island, BC?

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 Galiano Island, BC?

Doula fees in Galiano Island, BC are typically in the range of about C$1,000 to C$2,000 for a standard birth doula package, with postpartum doula support often costing around C$30 to C$50 per hour; total cost can be higher if travel, ferry time, on-call coverage, prenatal visits, or overnight postpartum care are included.

Are doulas covered by insurance in Galiano Island, BC?

In British Columbia, including Galiano Island, doula services are generally not covered under the province's public health care plan (MSP). However, some private insurance plans or extended health benefits may offer partial or full coverage for doula services, depending on the provider and the specific policy. It’s best to check directly with your insurance provider to determine if doula costs are covered under your plan. Alternatively, some community programs or organizations may offer subsidies or support for doula services, so exploring local resources could also be helpful.

What types of doulas are for hire in Galiano Island, BC?

As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, specific information about doulas available on Galiano Island, BC, may be limited. However, doulas generally fall into categories such as birth doulas, postpartum doulas, and death doulas (end-of-life doulas). Birth doulas provide support during pregnancy, labor, and delivery, while postpartum doulas assist families with newborn care, recovery, and emotional support after childbirth. Death doulas offer guidance and comfort to individuals and families during end-of-life transitions. To find doulas on Galiano Island, it is recommended to check local community boards, doula directories, or nearby regional resources, such as those in surrounding Gulf Islands or Vancouver Island.

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.
