The cost of a midwife in Toronto, ON can be influenced by several factors:

  • Type of Midwife

    Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) who work in hospital settings may have different pricing than Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) who attend home births or birth center deliveries.

  • Birth Setting

    Hospital births with a midwife typically cost less out-of-pocket when covered by insurance, while home births and birth center deliveries may have different fee structures.

  • Scope of Services

    Many midwives offer comprehensive packages that include prenatal visits, labor and delivery support, and postpartum care, which can affect the overall cost.

  • Insurance Coverage

    Toronto has a modest local market, with three midwives within 60 miles. Families typically arrange and pay for this support privately, while reimbursement varies by health plan and policy. Before booking, ask the provider about fees, sliding-scale options, and payment plans. Also check what your provincial health plan or private insurer may reimburse under your specific coverage.

  • Experience and Specialization

    Midwives with extensive experience, additional certifications, or specializations such as VBAC support or water birth may charge higher rates.

  • Geographic Location

    Midwifery costs can vary based on the cost of living and demand for midwifery services in your specific area.

When considering hiring a midwife in Toronto, ON, it's advisable to research and interview several midwives to find one who aligns with your birth plan, preferences, and budget.

Hello, my name is Isabel, and I am a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula based in Oakville. I support families in Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Brampton, Mississauga, and Toronto. I believe every family deserves to feel supported, informed, and confident throughout their journey into parenthood. My approach is compassionate, intuitive, and grounded in evidence-based care.

My philosophy is to meet each family exactly where they are, offering non-judgmental support, clear information, and gentle guidance so you can navigate pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period with confidence.

I cannot recommend Isabel Nantaba enough as a birth and postpartum doula. From the moment we met her, she brought a sense of calm, confidence, and compassion that immediately put me at ease. During labor, Isabel provided unwavering support, intuitive guidance, and gentle encouragement, helping me feel empowered and informed every step of the way. Her care didn’t end after birth; she was a constant source of support during the postpartum period. She helped me navigate the early days with practical advice, emotional reassurance, and hands-on assistance, making the transition to parenthood so much smoother and less overwhelming. Isabel’s approach is both professional and deeply caring. She truly listens, adapts to your needs, and creates a nurturing environment for you and your family. Choosing Isabel as our doula was one of the best decisions we made, and I am so grateful for her presence during such a transformative time in our lives.

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.

As a first time mom, I had a huge fear of normal delivery. I honestly believed I would never be able to handle labour pain and always thought I’d go for a C-section just to avoid it. But when my OB explained the disadvantages of a c-section, I slowly prepared myself for a normal delivery- though deep down, that fear was still in the corner of my heart. That’s when I decided to reach out for doula support. I knew doulas are there to emotionally support us and stay by our side through that challenging yet beautiful moment. Another big reason was that my husband and I are the only two people here in Canada. We moved here around 2022 and don’t have any immediate family around. As first time parents, both being the only children in our families, we had zero experience with newborns. It was overwhelming at times, and we truly felt lost and alone. That’s why choosing doula support was one of the most incredible decisions I’ve made- and selecting Lauren was truly the best thing that happened to us From the beginning, Lauren was so professional, calm, and caring. She provided me with a lot of labour and postpartum knowledge, did her own research, and shared so many helpful exercise materials to prepare me for my delivery. Whenever I had questions, she responded promptly and explained everything clearly. On my labour day, when I called her, she arrived at the hospital within an hour- whichw as simply amazing. She came fully prepared with massage oil, a pain relief comb, snacks, calming music, soft lights, and so many thoughtful items to make the experience more comfortable. Her presence game me so much confidence to face labour. She even worked closely with my husband, guiding and coordinating everything during those long hours. Lauren went above and beyond- she took notes on every single detail of my labour and later created a beautiful report for me to keep. She also supported me in making important decisions throughout the process with such care and understanding. I am so grateful that I chose Lauren as my doula. Her guidance, encouragement, and knowledge made a world of difference during one of the most important moments of my life. She’s friendly, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend Lauren to any expecting mom looking for emotional support, confidence, and care throughout pregnancy, labour, and beyond.

I’m Desiree, a mom of five, an educator, and a certified birth and postpartum doula. I’ve had five unmedicated births (one of those births happened at home…on purpose). These personal experiences helped me find my way to birth support and have shaped the way I walk alongside families today. I know birth and early parenthood can feel both beautiful and overwhelming, and my goal is to help parents feel prepared, supported, and truly seen through it all. My philosophy is simple: Your Journey, Your Desired Way! Your choices matter! I provide evidence-based education, practical tools, and heartfelt support so you can feel confident, cared for, and truly seen.

If you’re asking me, DESIREE IS HIGH RECOMMENDED. She blended seamlessly with my midwife team and had such a natural ability to read the room. She knew exactly when to step in and offer support, what I needed in the moment, and when to give space. Her presence required no direction—she intuitively flowed with the process. Even in the challenging moments, she carried a calm and grounding presence, and in the lighter moments, she filled the room with joy and laughter. Her support created such a safe and uplifting atmosphere for my delivery. She was such a meaningful part of my redemptive birthing experience, and I am deeply grateful for her role in making it so calm, joyful, and empowering.

Couldn’t be more grateful for the support from Elizabeth & Amy! I hired them as my doula team and it was one of the best decisions I made for my pregnancy and birth experience. We had 2 prenatal visits and 1 postpartum visit, and they answered all of our questions without ever making us feel rushed. As a first-time mom who had an OB, I felt strongly pulled to hire them for extra support - and I’m so thankful I followed that instinct. Thanks to Elizabeth, I had an unmedicated birth. She believed in me when I needed it most and guided me through every contraction with so much calm and confidence. I delivered a healthy baby girl (6 lbs 9 oz), and I will always be grateful for the role she played in one of the most important days of my life. They offer 24/7 WhatsApp support - even months after birth - which made my partner and I feel supported and never alone during early parenthood. They are incredibly knowledgeable, warm, relatable, and genuinely wonderful people. Amy is also super tech-savvy, so everything felt organized and seamless from start to finish. I truly felt cared for as a new mom. I would highly, highly recommend them. The whole experience was amazing!

Anna came into my life a few weeks after my twins were born in 2021. I was a first time mom of preemie twins. One with a medical condition. She provided my family with safety, comfort and care. From folding all of our laundry to tending to the twins throughout the night so that I could get some rest. Bottle feeds, diaper changes, bedding changes, nightly snuggles. She did it all! She literally sat on the floor between their bassinets to help sleep train them. She did night shifts a few times a week for me. It gave me the support I needed to be able to get through those early days with twins. Anna, we will be forever grateful for your care and support.

Having Jennifer by my side during my pregnancy and birth was one of the best decisions I made. She provided constant encouragement, emotional support, and practical guidance that helped me feel calm and confident throughout labor. Her reassuring presence made such a difference, and she always respected my birth preferences while working alongside my healthcare team. I truly felt cared for every step of the way. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer to any expecting parent looking for a compassionate and supportive doula."

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!
