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.

Birth can be whatever you want or need it to be, and that's where I come in as your doula. Whether you want it to be empowering, transformational, peaceful, healing or you just want to get through it in one piece then working with a doula like me will make all the difference. 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.

Offering resources, support and education to family both seasoned and new is something I believe in and hope to be able to help empower parents they being this new journey in life. I hope to help parents fill their birth and postpartum journey with amazing memories.

I'm Gio Aiello, the passionate founder and CEO of Mindful Mommy Doula Matchmaking Agency. What started as a solo doula practice in 2017 has blossomed into a thriving community of 40+ doulas who have collectively attended hundreds of births and supported countless women. My journey from solo practitioner to leading a team of dedicated professionals has been incredibly rewarding, fueled by a deep commitment to empowering families with love, acceptance, and intention throughout their birth processes.

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'm the founder of Pocket Doula and I support emerging birthworkers in radicalizing their practice through heart-centered mentorships, facilitations, and community organizing.

I am a certified birth doula whose work is deeply rooted in compassion, strength, and connection. A mother of three, a social worker and Lamaze Childbirth Educator in-training, with nearly a decade of experience in mental health, 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.

I enjoy working with growing families to foster an environment of positivity, joy, warmth, and nurturing. With extensive experience in creating customized routines and supporting busy households, I begin guiding families through the transition into their new lives together before baby arrives, supporting them in every aspect through the first year and beyond. I gently empower parents to trust their instincts and parent authentically. I bring a warm, calming, and healing presence to each family I work with.

My philosophy is rooted in the understanding that physical, mental, and emotional well-being are deeply connected. I integrate yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness to help you reconnect with your body and trust your intuition as you move through this tender time.
