Hello! As a Registered Nurse, along with Birth and Postpartum Doula, I have been attending hospital maternity units, birthing centres and home births for 25 years. It is my own birth story with my oldest son, as well as the story of many other women that I have been honoured to journey along with over these many years, which is the reason that I founded Blessed Beginnings for Mama & Me Nursing. So, mothers, their partners and babes will feel loved, cared for and supported. I will also be your best friend, safety net and cheerleader during your labour & delivery, recovery and postpartum period, helping you to overcome the challenges, celebrate the milestones and get the much needed rest you need in between. I am here to help, you don't have to do this alone. Be gentle on yourselves at this incredibly amazing, but also trying time. Remember you and this new little babe have been born and are growing. I hope I can be a part of your journey. I offer birth doula services (in-person and virtual), registered nursing postpartum doula day and night services (in-person and virtual), childbirth education (private, group, and virtual), lactation education (private, group and virtual) and lactation consulting services. Services are customizable to your individual needs.

Since becoming a mom and experiencing some of the challenges that come with that, I’ve known that I want to work with new parents and help them transition into parenthood smoothly. I believe whole heartedly that you are the right parents for your baby, and that you have the ability to make decisions that are best for them. My role is to provide you with un-biased information and resources to help you make confident decisions for your family. I am there to support you and help you build the skills and confidence you need to care for your child independently. I believe what new parents need more than anything is a non-judgemental listening ear, practical support around the house, and many, many opportunities for rest. This is what I can provide for your family if you choose to include me in your postpartum village.

Doula Services FAQs

What is a doula and why should you hire one?

A doula is a trained support specialist who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and after childbirth. 98.6% of births in the U.S. take place in hospitals, and nearly all of them require some kind of medical intervention. However, doula-supported deliveries are linked to shorter labor, decreased need for medications, fewer c-sections, higher rates of breastfeeding initiation, less anxiety, and less postpartum depression.

Can you pay for a doula with HSA or FSA funds in Winnipeg, MB?

To use HSA or FSA funds for doula services, they generally need to be considered medically necessary. You might need a doctor's note or prescription stating that doula services are necessary for a specific medical condition. Keep detailed records of payments and any supporting documentation, such as a doctor's note or prescription, to substantiate that the expense was medically necessary.

How much does a doula cost in Winnipeg, MB?

In Winnipeg, MB, doula fees typically range from about C$900 to C$1,800 for a standard birth support package, with many families paying around C$1,200 to C$1,500; this often includes a few prenatal visits, on-call support around the due date, continuous labor and birth support, and one postpartum follow-up, while postpartum-only doula care is often charged separately at roughly C$30 to C$60 per hour depending on experience, certifications, and the number of daytime, overnight, or specialized support hours included.

Are doulas covered by insurance in Winnipeg, MB?

In Winnipeg, MB, public health insurance generally does not cover doula services, but some private extended health insurance plans may reimburse part of the cost if doulas are included under wellness or paramedical benefits, and coverage varies a lot by insurer and plan; many families end up paying out of pocket, with doula support commonly costing around C$800 to C$1,500 for a birth package, though some providers offer sliding-scale fees or payment plans.

What types of doulas are for hire in Winnipeg, MB?

In Winnipeg, MB, the types of doulas commonly available for hire generally include birth doulas, who provide physical, emotional, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, and birth; postpartum doulas, who help families after delivery with newborn care, feeding support, recovery, and household adjustment; antepartum doulas, who support people experiencing high-risk pregnancies or extended bed rest before birth; abortion and loss doulas, who offer nonjudgmental support during abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss; fertility doulas, who assist individuals and couples navigating conception and reproductive treatments; and full-spectrum doulas, who provide support across multiple reproductive experiences, including pregnancy, birth, postpartum, loss, and abortion. Some doulas also specialize in areas such as VBAC support, cesarean birth preparation, multiples, overnight postpartum care, and culturally specific or Indigenous-informed family support.

When should I hire a doula in pregnancy?

You can start researching and contacting doulas as early as your first trimester. This allows you ample time to find a doula who aligns with your birth plan and build a rapport with them. Many people choose to hire a doula during their second trimester, around weeks 12 to 27. By this point, you likely have a clearer understanding of your birth preferences and can engage a doula who can provide support tailored to your needs. If you’re in your third trimester or even approaching your due date, it’s not too late to hire a doula. Some individuals make this decision later in pregnancy due to various reasons, and doulas can still offer valuable support and information during this time. The availability of doulas in your area may also influence when you hire one. In some regions, experienced doulas may have limited availability, so it’s wise to start your search early to secure the support you desire.

What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?

A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.

— Dominique B., review of Olivia Smith May 2024

If you're looking for an extremely knowledgable, kind, patient, caring and non-judgmental doula to help support and guide you through loss, fertility, pregnancy and/or birth, Olivia is your girl! She helped me and my husband navigate a traumatic time during a pregnancy loss with such compassion and empathy. She then went on to provide invaluable knowledge and information throughout my pregnancy and a particularly long and challenging labour. We felt so taken care of. I don't know what we would have done without her!

— Homa H., review of Olivia Smith May 2024

I cannot recommend Olivia enough. As a doula she is kind, compassionate, supportive, patient and knowledgeable. She is warm and funny, and supported my husband and I throughout my pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum days in the way a dear friend would. She answered all my questions and left me feeling well-equipped to tackle this new phase in my life. She is simply the best!
