How Much Does a Midwife or Home Birth Midwife Cost in Lindsay, ON?

Certifying Birth Doula Support and advocating for YOUR birth, located in Peterborough Ontario. Be kind whenever possible, it is always possible.

Hello! My name is Lauren, the hands on and heart led birth and postpartum doula in Durham Region. I'm also a big homebody who loves to read, craft my own tea blends, make natural skincare products and candles, and spend time in nature as much as possible. Becoming a doula felt like stepping into a path that was already laid out for me. I have always felt a fierce protection for other women, and connected easily and deeply with the women in my life. Combined with my interest in herbal healing and natural remedies, my previous work with and love for children and babies, my need to feed everyone I love home cooked, nourishing meals, and my interest in birth & the medical system, I realized that I already was a doula, I just needed to take the leap onto the path.   Early in 2025, I completed a 10 day doula training retreat in Costa Rica, which was a beautiful way to begin my new career. In the past couple of years I have been amazed by the women I work with, the births I have experienced by their sides, and the cocoon of postpartum. I love this work! I believe that birth and postpartum are some of the most transformational and impactful moments of a woman’s life, and they deserve to be positive experiences. Feeling cared for, understood, nourished, and supported are essential in the journey from Maiden, to Mother (and from mother of one, to two, to three…).  If you’re looking for a doula you want to feel cared for by, someone you feel comfortable texting “is this my mucous plug?,” and someone who knows how important the little details are and takes care of them so you don’t have to (like LED candles at your birth and a warm cup of tea postpartum), then hello! Now, Id love to get to know you.

I am an artist and writer living near Toronto, Canada. I am passionate about being outdoors as much as possible and watching things grow. I am simultaneously certifying as a doula specifically for labour/delivery but also for end of life. I believe in the goodness of the human body and am specifically in awe of the birthing body’s magic. The rhythms and cycles we live in at a physical and emotional level have always fascinated me. It is a privilege to support individuals and families undergoing beautiful, massive, world-shifting transitions.

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 parents 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!

I am dedicated to supporting families through the transformative journey of childbirth. With a background in Naturopathic Medicine and a passion for holistic health, I provide compassionate care and evidence-based guidance to empower parents-to-be as they welcome their little ones into the world. As a new mom myself, I understand the importance of feeling supported and empowered during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. My practice focuses on gut health, women's health, fertility, prenatal and postpartum care, nurturing both mother and baby. I'm honoured to be part of your journey toward parenthood, and I can't wait to support you every step of the way. Let's create a beautiful birthing experience together! I also offer postpartum day and overnight support if you're looking for continued care after birth. The next step would be to book a free video meet and greet: 👉 https://ahanawellness.practicebetter.io/#/5f7cb8732a902907680c490b/bookings?r=6626e793c33e97bdee813ae9 This is a great opportunity for us to connect, for you to learn more about how naturopathic doula care can support your birth experience, and for me to understand your goals and preferences. ✨ I also offer a self-paced prenatal course called the **Bump to Birth Blueprint**, designed to help you feel confident and prepared as you move through each trimester and into labour, birth, and beyond. 👉 [Learn more about the course here] - https://ahanawellness.ca/prenatal-program-bump-to-birth-blue-print/ Many of my services are covered under extended health benefits or insurance under naturopathy – so you may be able to access this holistic support with little to no out-of-pocket cost. I’d love to connect and support you during this beautiful chapter of your life.

I grew up enchanted by midwives—their cheerful energy and seemingly magical presence as they welcomed my siblings into the world. That early fascination inspired my path into women's health. With a background in physical therapy, I have a deep passion for pelvic health and reproductive wellness. As a doula, I strive to provide evidence-based education, compassionate and holistic care, and strong advocacy so that families feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout their birth journey. I hope to further specialize in lactation, exercise therapy, and water birth, and I am committed to continual growth and lifelong learning in my doula practice. I also love research and aspire to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of women's health in the years ahead. Outside of my work, I enjoy hiking with my preschooler, reading, writing about birth experiences in the East, and deepening my spiritual practice as a Muslim.

In 2017, I founded Growing Together Doula Services with a commitment to ensuring families in my community feel supported, heard, and empowered throughout their perinatal journeys. Now serving families across Muskoka, I offer holistic, trauma-aware support through fertility, pregnancy, loss, abortion, adoption or surrogacy, birth, and postpartum. My philosophy is simple: every journey is unique. I provide personalized, non-judgmental care rooted in trust, informed choice, and relationship-building — creating a space where you can feel confident, encouraged, and fully supported every step of the way.

As a certified birth doula and postpartum doula in Toronto, I am dedicated to honouring and affirming all aspects of who you are during this major life transition, including your spiritual and emotional needs. Social justice and liberation are integral to my prenatal, birth, and postpartum doula practice and I welcome all races, ethnicities, abilities, sexual orientations, gender identities and family structures, including couples, single parents, polyamorous families, platonic co-parenting arrangements, and surrogates. With a two-decade track record in health research, my informational support is thorough and evidence-based. I apply this knowledge to support my clients with customized information, system navigation, and advocacy. As a classically trained singer and a mindfulness practitioner, I love offering these unique skills to support my clients with their childbirth, family planning, and parenting goals.

Hello! I’m Christine, a CAPPA certified postpartum and labour doula, Childbirth educator, and former HSC nurse. My labour, breastfeeding and baby care support skills are very strong! And I love to bring calm and encouragement - you’ve got this!

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.

I am a Certified Birth Doula whose work is deeply rooted in compassion, strength, and connection. A mother of three, a Certified Hypnobirthing Childbirth Educator, Lamaze Childbirth Educator (certifying), postpartum doula, placenta encapsulation specialist and Social Service Worker, 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.

Hi, I’m Emma, your local birth bestie and birth aficionado! I’m a DONA trained doula based out of Toronto, ON looking to support families throughout their birth journey. My goal is to provide amazing care to each client, tailored to their specific needs. Ever since I was young, I have been passionate about supporting families. Inspired by my childhood dreams of being a early childhood educator, an OBGYN and later a midwife, I have always felt a strong pull towards family care and birth work. In my community, I started by becoming the favourite neighborhood babysitter, then in University I became a loving part time nanny, then moved on to work as a manager of a children’s swim school for several years. Alongside my passion for birth support, I have a deep appreciation for art and creativity. I spent three years working at an art gallery and went on to get my Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree in Painting. Even then, my dream of caring for families never left me, with my passions leading me to run impromptu prenatal education sessions during lunch breaks at work. In May of 2024 I made the exciting decision to take a step back from my art career and focus full time on becoming a doula. Now, I am dedicated to being the best “birth bestie” I can be for my clients by proving them with compassionate care, encouragement, and unwavering support every step of the way.
