Great service, always available if needed and checked in with me to see if I needed anything. Kind, compassionate care that provided me with more education about my cycle and fertility.
— Dominique B., review of Olivia Smith
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
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!

Can I hire a virtual doula in Winnipeg, MB?
3 of the 4 doulas near Winnipeg (75%) offer virtual support, on its own or alongside in-person care.
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.
Are doulas covered by insurance in Winnipeg, MB?
Only two doulas are listed within 60 miles of Winnipeg, so local options are quite limited. Families generally arrange doula support privately and pay the provider directly. Before booking, ask about fees, sliding-scale rates, and payment plans. Check your specific policy to learn whether your provincial health plan or private insurer reimburses any of the cost, since benefits vary by plan.
What types of doulas are for hire in Winnipeg, MB?
Within 60 miles of Winnipeg, four doulas are available: one for birth support only, one for postpartum care only, two under a general doula designation, and none offering both services. A birth doula provides nonmedical support through labor and delivery. A postpartum doula helps families adjust after childbirth with practical and emotional support. General doulas offer nonmedical guidance and support without identifying a birth or postpartum focus. A combined birth-and-postpartum doula would assist during labor and continue supporting the family after delivery, but no Winnipeg doulas fall into that category.
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.
