    What Do I Offer?


    I offer an approach to supporting my clients that enables them to access all of my talents, and resources.

    You may be spending many hours with your doula in the same room and it will be a particularly vulnerable time for you. It is important that you choose a doula you feel very comfortable with. Please browse the site and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. After our first interview, please call me if you have further questions, or if I can help you in any way to come to a decision. My goal is that you have the birth you want. I follow and believe in the mission statement set forward by CAPPA (http://www.cappacanada.ca/imagine_a_world.html)

    My Training and Experience


    I am wife, and mother of 4 children.
    In November 2005, I completed a basic training course through CAPPA. I then completed my certification. I have taken several weekend courses on herbs and homeopathy, as well as massage reflexology and other techniques that offer comfort measures. I am able to work with both doctors and midwives
    I am also working towards becoming a Certified Breastfeeding Counselor, and Childbirth Educator. My services are available to families in the Windsor Essex County area. I am also able to travel to Amhurstburg and Leamington.

    Some of the Services I offer Include:



    Childbirth Education



    The education classes I offer help you prepare for your pregnancy and childbirth vary s depending on your needs.I offer personal classes and small groups as well. A large range of topics are covered such as information on common procedures, as well as terminology so you can make the best decisions for you and your family. My foucs is on knowing your body, and on breastfeeding support as well as what to expect when you bring your baby home. Phone and e-mail support is available through out the pregnancy and into the post partum period.

    Belly casting(additional costs)


    If you would like a 3 dimensonal image of your beautiful belly, Belly casting is fun and memorable.
