Planning to give birth in Kingston general hospital. Requires prenatal support

I am pregnant with my first child and plan to give birth at Windsor Regional Hospital under the care of Dr. Katy Bartlett. My husband and I are looking for a doula who can support us throughout pregnancy, labor, and delivery, with the goal of helping me labor at home for as long as it is safe and appropriate before going to the hospital. One important part of my birth story is that I have a significant phobia of needles. I've been working through it extensively with my therapist and have made a lot of progress. In the past, I would typically faint after receiving a needle—not because of the pain, but because of the anxiety surrounding it. I'm proud to say that over the past year I have successfully gotten through all of my bloodwork and other needle-related appointments without fainting. I am open to having an epidural if it becomes the best option during labor, but the thought of one is still terrifying and intimidating. My hope is to prepare for an unmedicated labor and delivery while remaining flexible if circumstances change. We're also hoping for guidance and education throughout this process. As first-time parents, we'd love support in learning about labor, birth, pain management techniques, postpartum recovery, and breastfeeding/lactation so that we feel as confident and prepared as possible.
