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’m Kait, a Toronto-based (but very mobile!), DONA International-trained doula who is ready to support you throughout pregnancy, birth, and beyond! I have a strong passion for pregnancy, birth, babies, and supporting new parents, and my patience, care, and understanding nature are what set me apart. I will always listen without judgement and be here to advocate for you and your family. Think of me as your pregnancy and birth coach – whether this is your first child or your fifth, I am here to support you similarly to how a personal trainer helps you at the gym, how a wedding planner helps you achieve your dream wedding, or how a tour guide helps you plan your perfect vacation. From day one, I will support your pregnancy with resources, information, and education; your birth with positivity and hands-on comfort measures; and your early post-partum journey with confidence and love. I will be by your side as you bring your baby into the world whether at a hospital, birthing centre, 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. My first language is English, but I can also support you in conversational French, Portuguese, and basic Italian! Aside from supporting families as they grow, I have a passion for travelling, art, and food!

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.

Hi, I’m Patice, a full-spectrum doula serving Toronto and the GTA. Nine years of supporting individuals and families has taught me every person comes into pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with their own story, priorities, and idea of what support should look like. That’s why I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to doula care. My role is to understand what matters most to you and adapt my support as your needs and preferences evolve. Whether we’re talking through options during a prenatal visit, adjusting to unexpected changes in plans, finding ways to make labour more comfortable, or simply making space for a pause in the middle of it all, my goal is always the same: to help you feel informed, respected, and confident in the decisions you’re making. Good support isn’t about taking over. Support can be active in quiet ways. Sometimes it looks like breaking down options when things feel uncertain, so you can decide what feels right for you. Sometimes it looks like stepping back so you can focus on what your body and instincts are telling you. And sometimes it is simply making the space feel steady enough that you can pause and decide what comes next. The right support doesn’t draw attention to itself. It helps you feel more capable of navigating what is in front of you. Clients often describe me as calm, practical, and easy to talk to.

My birth journey started almost 20 years ago, with the birth of my own amazing child, whose unexpected breech presentation caused me to shift my birth plans significantly. Over time I have been called to support different parents as they navigate their own journeys into parenthood. My experience has encouraged me to be especially empathetic and supportive of parents who have had births outside of their expectations. Experience has taught me, this is almost all parents.

Hello, I’m Rylee—a doula in training through Doula School Canada, with years of hands-on experience caring for newborns and infants, as well as supporting mothers during deeply vulnerable seasons. My background includes working in a maternal homeless shelter and as a private nanny, where I learned the importance of compassionate, non-judgmental support for both parent and baby. I am also proud to serve as a backup doula for a local collective, ensuring families always have seamless, reliable care. As part of my doula training, I am required to attend three births, including prenatal and postpartum visits. During this time, I am offering my services at a discounted rate, because everyone deserves dedicated support during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. If this feels aligned for you, I would love to connect and answer any questions you may have. Email: Ryleemckenzie14@icloud.com

Hello! I’m Anusuya, a Full Spectrum Doula, blessed to be the mother of two beautiful children aged 18 & 13. I’m someone who brings a calm, steady, and grounding presence, and I naturally extend that care to ensure my support person feels held and supported as well. My favourite part of being a doula is witnessing the moment someone realizes they can do this. There is always a shift when confidence replaces fear, and being present for that transformation is incredibly meaningful. It is also an honour to stand beside families as they welcome new life into the world, knowing I helped create a space that felt calm, safe, and supported. Alongside my doula work, I am an internationally certified Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga Instructor, Yoga Therapist, and Face Yoga Trainer. My practice is rooted in guiding women through every stage of their journey — from pregnancy to postpartum recovery — with compassion, mindfulness, and evidence-based care. I have supported many expectant mothers through their trimesters, preparing them with breath-work, movement, and meditation for the sacred day of labor. Beyond birth, I have walked alongside postpartum mothers in their healing, offering nurturing practices to ease postpartum depression and specialized yoga sequences to restore strength and heal diastasis recti.

As an experienced postpartum support professional with a background in personal support work and early childhood learning, I bring a calm, nurturing presence to families during the early weeks of newborn life. My training and certifications including Postpartum Doula Certification, Infant/Child CPR, Food Handler Certificate, GPA training, and foundational lactation support—allow me to provide safe newborn care, gentle feeding guidance, and practical household support with confidence and ease. I offer both daytime and overnight care, ensuring families receive steady, reliable help whether they need a night nanny to support restful sleep or hands‑on assistance throughout the day. With a strong foundation in early childhood education and tutoring, I also provide homework support for school‑age siblings, helping maintain routines and easing the transition for the whole family. My approach is rooted in cultural sensitivity, patience, and deep respect for each family’s unique rhythms and values. Whether I’m caring for a newborn, supporting early lactation and bottle‑feeding routines, preparing simple nutritious meals, assisting with homework, or helping parents rest and recover, my focus is always on creating a grounded, supportive environment where families feel confident, rested, and truly cared for.

Hi Families! I’m a certified birth and postpartum doula serving families across the GTA, with a strong presence in the Peel Region. I specialize in lactation and breastfeeding support, offering compassionate, evidence-based care to help families feel confident and supported throughout their journey into parenthood. My approach is rooted in the belief that there is no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to birth, feeding, or postpartum care. Every family is unique, and I take the time to understand your values, goals, and needs so I can provide personalized, respectful support that aligns with your vision. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating early feeding, or adjusting to life with a newborn, I’m here to walk alongside you with patience, warmth, and encouragement. Beyond my work as a doula, I’m a proud mother to my 8-year-old daughter, who continues to inspire my passion for supporting other families. In my free time, I enjoy expressing creativity through art and spending time gardening—both of which ground me and bring a sense of balance to the nurturing work I do. I’m honored to be part of such an important chapter in your life and look forward to supporting you every step of the way.
