Birth + Postpartum Doula, Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C)

Hi, I’m Chantal! I offer compassionate and dedicated birth and postpartum doula services, informed through my unique background in mental health social work. My journey into the world of birth support was deeply influenced by my own experiences as a mother.

Before embarking on my path as a doula, I spent many years as a mental health social worker. My work involved helping individuals navigate the intricate terrain of their mental and emotional well-being. During this time, I honed my skills in empathetic listening, emotional support, and creating safe spaces for healing.

My own journey into motherhood was marked by two profoundly significant experiences. The first was a home birth that unexpectedly led to a hospital transfer. The second was a hospital birth that involved an induction. These experiences left an indelible mark on me, igniting my passion to support other women and families during their own journeys through childbirth.

As a doula, my approach is rooted in a holistic perspective, embracing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit during the transformative journey of childbirth.

Drawing upon my own experience as a mother of two, I understand the profound significance of this life-altering event and strive to provide compassionate support to birthing individuals and their families.

Central to my philosophy is the belief in the body's innate wisdom and its extraordinary ability to navigate the birthing process. I approach my role with a deep respect for each person's unique journey and values, recognizing that childbirth is not only a physical event but also an emotional and spiritual one.

In my practice, I integrate trauma-informed care principles, fostering an environment of safety, trust, and empowerment. By combining holistic perspectives, compassionate support, and trauma-informed care, I aim to empower birthing individuals to connect with their inner strength and navigate the birthing experience with confidence and resilience.

My mission as a doula is to guide birthing people through the spiritual transition into motherhood and parenthood, recognizing that every journey is unique and deserves to be honored. Services go beyond physical support during labor; they encompass emotional, psychological, and spiritual support, creating an empowering and transformative birth experience.

If you are seeking a birth doula who understands the intricacies of both mental health and childbirth, look no further. My unique combination of skills and experiences positions me as a trusted companion on your path to motherhood. 

I'm so excited to meet you!
