Hiring Mimi was one of the best choices we made for this pregnancy. She was so kind, down-to-earth, and always there when I needed advice or reassurance. During labor, she knew exactly what I needed—whether it was a calming word, a cold compress, or just a hand to hold. She also made sure my Husband felt confident and included, which meant so much to both of us. I honestly can’t imagine going through birth without her. She captured some great pictures of us as a family right after my baby was born, that I will always treasure. I very much appreciate her postpartum check-ins as well.

Hi! My name is Ella and I am a birth and postpartum doula serving primarily the Hamilton, Haldimand/Norfolk, & Brantford areas. I have always had a passion for all things pregnancy, birth and babies. I found my passion for birth work while searching for my own doula for the birth of my son last year! I truly believe that birth can be a calm, peaceful experience with the proper education and preparation. In my free time I enjoy physical activity whether that be indoor or outdoors, family time and a good latte.

I believe every woman deserves to be cherished, heard, supported, and cared for after giving birth.  I received a lot of support from my own mother after birthing each of my 3 children. This has inspired me to use my own experience, and knowledge from my training, to offer a high level of loving support and care to others on their postpartum journey. I’m passionate about creating a non judgmental space for parents and babies to learn and grow together.

Hello there! I'm Marissa I'm a Birth and Postpartum Doula, a Somatic Birth Trauma Healer and trained in Closing of the Bones Ceremony. I'm located in Hamilton, Ontario. I have 3 sons- 9,4 and 1.5. I'm very blessed to have experienced a hospital birth, unassisted birth and a free birth. I've spent so much time unraveling the beliefs I held about birth so I could heal my birth trauma and have my dreams births, which I did! I'm so passionate in support Mothers in their journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I want ever Mother to stand in her power in her birth and birth the way SHE DESIRES. I love spending time in nature, cooking, dancing and teaching children at a forest school I work at!
