Hello, my name is Bohdana (she/her), and I became a Doula because being in a supportive role, sympathetically and empathetically meeting you where you are at in your journey, is something I am both proficient and passionate about. I will be by your side as you bring your baby into the world whether at a hospital, birthing center, or in the comfort of your own home. Once baby is born, I will continue to provide you with educational support as well as encouragement and emotional support as you become acquainted with your baby. I will support your infant feeding journey (breastfeeding or otherwise) and offer household organizational support. I have time to get to know YOU, not just your birth preferences. I have time to provide you with as much support as you need throughout your entire journey. I genuinely love supporting others and being an empath means this role comes naturally to me. After birth, both parent(s) and baby need a lot of support. I can do overnight but also daytime 8-hour shifts to help care for baby so that you can get some rest, or on a consultation basis – an informative session on infant care, breastfeeding techniques and restorative care for the parent who gave birth. I feel blessed that as a doula, I am part of such a beautiful moment and environment called birth, where I am able to help enable mothers to help believe in themselves that they strong, beautiful and powerful. Making moms feel loved, supported, cared for, and special during their labours and births is so rewarding. My first languages are Ukrainian and English, but I can also support you in conversational Russian and basic German!

Working with Doula Bohdana was an incredible experience. Her support during our birthing journey was invaluable, making the entire process amazing. Beyond the delivery, she continued to be a pillar of assistance during postpartum appointments. Bohdana provided valuable insights on proper baby feeding and ensured we found moments to rest and recover after giving birth. Highly recommend her for her expertise and genuine care.

Nijah Smith

Nijah is an artist and postpartum doula that was drawn to the world of birthwork due to her natural ability to nurture and connect with young children and their caregivers. She has a deep, personal understanding of the challenges that come with raising a child in limited-support environments. Nijah works to offer evidence-backed, holistic, and culturally rooted healing knowledge to enrich the postpartum experience and empower caregivers to thrive through their new chapter of life.

Recent review

Nijah Smith was a great doula during my postpartum experience. What stood out the most was how naturally connected she was with my baby girl. She instantly analyzed what she needed, and responded with such calm confidence. Nijah assisted greatly with household tasks, helping me latch, and helping her settle. Because she was so attentive, observant, and proactive with the baby, I actually got to rest—and real rest. I felt safe enough to sleep because I knew my daughter was in good hands. I’m deeply grateful for her, and I would recommend her to any parent who wants someone alert ,gentle, and proactive to support their family.

We’ve worked with several night nurses and postpartum doulas over the years, but none have come close to the level of care, presence, and professionalism that Tracy brings. From our very first night together, I could feel the difference,she has this intuitive way of knowing exactly what both baby and parents need. She’s warm, confident, deeply knowledgeable, and just so naturally gifted in her work. I was able to sleep deeply knowing our baby was in the very best hands, and I woke up feeling more rested and emotionally lighter every morning she was with us. Tracy is truly worth her weight in gold. She brought so much peace into our home during a season that could have easily felt overwhelming. Beyond the practical support, she helped me trust my instincts again and reminded me that I was doing a great job,something every parent needs to hear. I’ve never felt so supported, seen, and cared for by someone in this role. If you’re considering hiring Tracy, don’t hesitate. I would bring her back in a heartbeat, and I recommend her to every new parent I meet.

Birth can be whatever you want or need it to be, and that's where I come in as your doula. Whether you want it to be empowering, transformational, peaceful, healing or you just want to get through it in one piece then working with a doula like me will make all the difference. I'm with you from start to finish, which means from whenever you sign until the end of the fourth trimester, to help any and every way I can. And as a big bonus I also do infant bodywork to help with all of those fun newborn challenges you keep hearing about, like feeding issues or colic. I love what I do and I'm sure you'll love what I do too.

Once baby is born, I will continue to provide you with educational support as well as encouragement and emotional support as you become acquainted with your baby.

Recent review

Juliet was an incredible addition to our first pregnancy and birth experience. Juliet is a wonderful listener - attentive and in tune to our approach and areas of pregnancy, birth and post-partum that were not as familiar with (and had more questions or concerns). Juliet is incredibly well informed and knowledgeable and her advice/care was always informed by research and expertise, and without judgment. Juliet’s goals were to ensure we were well supported, had an advocate in the room during a hospital birth and to ensure that our experiences were as consistent with our own expectations as possible - not her own expectations, views etc. As someone who has been a people pleaser my whole life, I had assumed so much about the doula relationship and whether there were expectations to labour a certain way but Juliet made very clear that this was my journey (and my partner’s) and that she was there to support us in achieving that. As Juliet says, “You’re the boss!”. Juliet shares a number of resources and tips throughout the relationship which we found to be very helpful (and clearing a lot of the social media pregnancy advice noise). While my labour experience was not what we expected or hoped for, I still walked away from it feeling very positive and cared for, and I especially felt like I was able to make decisions along the way with Juliet’s support of my agency. Juliet was by my side (literally) every step of the way and I’m so grateful for her positive and calming energy through it all. We cannot recommend Juliet enough.

I am passionate about providing comprehensive support to families during the postpartum period. Whether it's boosting confidence in breastfeeding, ensuring you enjoy a two-handed lunch (because let's face it, handling a sandwich with one hand can be tricky!), or facilitating much-needed nap time after sleepless nights, postpartum doula support plays a crucial role in the holistic growth of the entire family.

Recent review

Being a new parent is hard, but no one tells you that despite the new bundle of joy, life has to go on. Kana was instrumental in making sure that my wife and I were able to ease our way into being new parents. Kana's practical assistance around the home and with newborn children is highly recommended. Her skill as a post-partum doula is a result of her pro-active attitude and consistent implementation of empathy, understanding and kindness into her practice. I cannot recommend her enough, and if you are a new parent, I strongly encourage you to engage her services. Thanks again Kana!

Hi there, my name is Marj — a birth and postpartum doula, a yoga/fitness instructor, an essential oil educator, and a mom of two! I am deeply committed to wellness as a holistic lifestyle. You're welcome to book a time in my calendar (https://calendly.com/marjwong/30-45min), I'd love to connect OR send a DM on IG @marj.wong As a DONA certified doula, I believe it is within each birthing person’s innate wisdom and ability to give birth. As well, birth should be an empowering experience. Throughout both of my own pregnancies, I practiced prenatal yoga, and I attribute my own remarkable birth experiences to my yoga practice and the HypnoBirthing method. From motherhood, becoming a birth and postpartum doula was a natural progression for me and I quickly found myself fully immersed in supporting clients through pregnancy, labour and beyond. It is in this role where I feel my intuition, guidance, and personal experiences to be incredibly supportive and valuable. The maternal period can be challenging, but with the right support, I know it can also be an incredibly joyous and transformative time. I am a diaper-free, breastfeeding, and HypnoBirthing advocate. I've been trained in many comfort techniques and tend to keep my approach educational and informative. With my help, you will gain the confidence to nourish and care for your baby and yourself in the best way possible. Chat soon and I look forward to supporting you!

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.

If you want the best, hire Christy. Where to begin? We LOVED working with Christy. If you’re reading these reviews wondering if you should have her as your doula, you definitely should. Our experience with Christy was nothing short of extraordinary. After the birth, I described Christy to my husband as our angel - as it felt that she magically appeared and blended in, giving just the right level of support and guidance, without being overbearing or intrusive. Her presence felt very natural and she completely put myself and my husband at ease. Christy played a pivotal role in helping me establish breastfeeding, which really helped set us up for success with feeding, and having her there to help with this immediately after the birth was invaluable. After our daughter was born, Christy continued to check in with us, and we felt extremely well looked after. She is clearly an expert both in caring for mothers in the postpartum period, but also in caring for newborns, and her years of experience meant we felt in very capable hands. Her dedication to postpartum care is unmatched, and her deep understanding of the emotional and physical needs of both the birthing person and their partner is truly remarkable. Christy’s passion for what she does shines through in every interaction, and her knowledge in perinatal care is both comforting and empowering. I give Christy my highest recommendation – any family would be very lucky to have her as part of their parenting journey!

I am a certified birth doula whose work is deeply rooted in compassion, strength, and connection. A mother of three, a social worker and Lamaze Childbirth Educator in-training, with nearly a decade of experience in mental health, I bring a steady, nurturing presence to every family I support. Whether advocating fiercely for your needs, holding space with tenderness, or wrapping you in one of my famously comforting hugs, I am committed to being a steady, grounding presence as you welcome new life. I believe birth is a normal process that people underestimate their ability in, and hope to be a part of putting an end to fear-based, patriarchal approaches to bringing babies into the world.
