I am a Mother of my lovely 6 year old son and my 2.5 year old daughter. As a birth and postpartum doula and the Founder of my Women's Wellness Organization 'Chikkitsa' I have dedicated my study and practice to Holistic health and wellness that focuses on the Mother-Baby dyad as a sacred union. I foster this union by ensuring the Mother's needs are met in the best manner with respect for traditional roots and cultural birth and care practices. I am skilled in helping Mothers prepare for natural labour and birth integrating movement, nutrition and breath work in my care. I have also led homebirths and helped mothers recover from a difficult birth especially an emergency C-section. I specialize in postpartum body care and pranic healing (a form of reiki) to help mother recover better and sooner so she can be present to her most cherished time of life with her little one and can actually enjoy this phase she worked so hard for.

Hello, my name is Ariel Taylor, and I am passionate about supporting and advocating for families through my work as a doula. With a strong educational background in psychology and a Master's in Legal Studies specializing in Healthcare and Technology Compliance, I bring a unique perspective to my role. My journey has been driven by a commitment to ensuring that all families receive the highest standard of care and support during one of the most significant times in their lives. My experience in healthcare compliance ensures that I am well-versed in maintaining the highest ethical standards and safeguarding the privacy and well-being of those I serve. Beyond my formal education, I have dedicated myself to understanding and implementing trauma-informed care practices. This approach allows me to provide compassionate and empathetic support, recognizing the diverse experiences and backgrounds of the families I work with. As a Crisis Counselor at The Trevor Project, I have honed my skills in providing emotional support and crisis intervention, which are critical in helping families navigate the complexities of childbirth and postpartum care. My goal as a doula is to be an advocate for you and your family, ensuring that your needs and preferences are respected and that you feel empowered and informed throughout your birthing journey.

As your doula, I’m here to help you enter the birth of your dreams with curiosity, clarity, confidence, and a sense of calm. I will empower you to be educated, (but not overwhelmed) by your options, so that you can trust in yourself and connect with your mind and body. This is YOUR unique birth story, and I’m here to guide you in a way that feels authentic to you. I will be right by your side tuning into YOUR NEEDS with a treasure chest of comfort measures and soothing techniques that support you both physically and emotionally.

Hi, I’m Nicole! (she/her) I live in New Westminster with my rambunctious toddler, and my husband. We love exploring the outdoors and attending toddler playgroups together. I also love listening to podcasts and dancing in Zumba classes. I have completed both Holistic Birth Doula & Postpartum Doula training through MotherWit Doula Care, as well as the Step 2 Education Breastfeeding Essentials course. I’m so excited to also be a Prenatal Educator with Birth By Bloom/ Dancing Star Birth and teach expecting families at Pomegranate Midwives in East Vancouver. I am certified in CPR-C (trained in CPR for babies, children and adults) for your peace of mind. I have completed a mentorship from Morag Hastings of Apple Blossom Families and Dancing Star Birth. I strive to inform my clients, so you feel confident making educated, evidence-based choices to determine your value system for your birthing experience. I will honour and support those values, encouraging you to root into your instincts and trust your body throughout this physiologic process. I create space to acknowledge the transformation into parenthood and support your family so you feel grounded throughout this time of transition. At your birth, I tune into you and your support people to anticipate your needs, and take care of small details in maintaining the environment, to promote a more nurturing space for you all. I also offer postpartum support to help your family adjust during the postpartum period.

Hi, I’m Kristy Sawatzky, a postpartum doula based out of North Vancouver. I am here to support you through the first weeks and months of parenthood. My work is all about care, nourishment, and creating space — for you, your baby (or babies), and the rhythms of your new life together.

Hi I'm Aya (she/they)! I am a full spectrum doula providing support through fertility, birth, and postpartum. I am also trained to support abortion and loss. I have an background in somatic therapy and herbalism, and have an affinity for Asian and Mexican birth and postpartum traditions. I am mixed race of Japanese and European descent and am queer and non-binary. I love to support LGBTQIA2S+ families, and also provide accessible and affirming support for neurodivergent folks.

My path to becoming a doula began with my own births. As a mother, I have experienced how deeply birth can shape a woman. My last birth, supported by a doula, showed me the quiet power of being held without judgment, without pressure, just steady, present support. It changed everything for me. I have attended seven births so far, each one strengthening my respect for this work and deepening my calling to walk alongside women as they welcome new life. I have completed my doula training through Douglas College, where I developed the knowledge and skills to provide thoughtful, informed, and compassionate care. I believe birth is not something to be feared, but something to be witnessed and supported through. A doula holds that space, grounded and aware, so the mother can let go. With one foot in the conscious world, we create safety, allowing her to turn inward, trust herself, and fully enter the experience. In that space, she returns to herself. She rises into her instinctive, powerful nature. This is the heart of my work. I am committed to practicing cultural safety and honoring every client’s unique background, beliefs, and lived experience. My goal is to create a space where you feel respected, heard, and fully supported, exactly as you are. I am there to hold steady, to protect the space, and to support you as you move through one of the most defining moments of your life. Through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and loss, my role is to ensure you feel seen, safe, and supported every step of the way. You can expect calm presence, emotional support, and gentle guidance when you need it most. You will always have someone in your corner. I am committed to continually deepening my knowledge and learning new techniques to better support both mother and baby.

In 2024, I received my doula training from Cornerstone Doula Trainings and I'm in the process of becoming a Certified Doula(!). I also partner with Brood Care, Western Canada’s most trusted birth and postpartum care agency, and I'm a proud member of the Doula Services Association of BC. In addition to my training, I am also CPR/AED and Emergency Child Care First Aid certified.

I serve clients seeking a positive birth experience in Vancouver, Burnaby and North Vancouver. My doula style is pragmatic, direct and non-judgmental. My clients have remarked that I provide a balanced mix of practical help and emotional support. My goal is to give new families knowledge and confidence about the childbirth process so they can go into it feeling positive and well-informed. I like to think of myself as the practical, evidence-based doula – with a deep reverence for the inherent magic of birth as well.
