Seanna Hayes - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Seanna

Hi everyone! My name is Seanna (Irish spelling, pronounced like Shawna) and I’m a birth and postpartum doula in St. Thomas, Ontario, and serving all surrounding areas. Whatever type of birth you’re planning, my goal is that you feel supported, heard, empowered, and respected. I love teaching new parents about birth, pregnancy, newborn care, postpartum, etc etc etc. There is SO MUCH to learn and I’m passionate about ensuring that my clients have an understanding of their options before they’re in the birth room. My view of advocacy is that I will be your microphone — not your voice. My job is to ensure that your voice is being heard, and respected. I am inclusive and welcoming of every type of family. I have supported 2SLGBTQ+ families, Muslim families, Christian families, and more. Whoever you are, I will advocate for you.

What to expect

As a birth doula, I will meet with you in your home twice during pregnancy to understand your goals for your birth, and help you understand how birth works and what may be offered to you. I also meet with you twice after you give birth to offer support and encouragement. As a postpartum doula, I come to your home to support your healing and to help with newborn care as well as light housekeeping. I also offer overnight postpartum care so you can get some good quality sleep!

I had Seanna as my doula for pre and post partum care. She was very knowledgeable but more than that her emotional support was irreplaceable. I ended up having a c section and Seanna was right there when I got out of the OR. She gave care personal to me and every choice the hospital offered I knew what to expect because of her and knew she would support any choices I made. She also took pictures ( if we wanted) and made sure I was looked after. Then there's post partum at home. Seanna was always available to answer any midnight anxiety induced questions, she helped me around the house so I could focus on baby. She helped me gain confidence in my new role as mother. If your having a baby or even considering starting to try, I would recommend reaching out to Seanna and Simply Loved London Doula because it was the greatest thing I did for myself during my pregnancy!
