Doula Services
At Wild Roots, we offer doula services to support parents through the wild ride of parenthood. Our services include prenatal support, labour and birth support, and postpartum support. We are here to provide nurturing and individualized care to help you navigate the journey of parenthood with confidence and comfort.
Prenatal Support
Our prenatal support services are designed to provide you with the information, resources, and emotional support you need as you prepare for the arrival of your little one. We offer personalized sessions to address your specific needs and concerns, ensuring that you feel informed and empowered.
Labour and Birth Support
We are dedicated to helping you have a positive and empowering birth experience, whether you choose a home or hospital birth. In preparation for labour, our doula will offer support, possible comfort measures, and advocacy.
*At this time, we are not offering birth support.
However, if you explore our "prenatal care" page, we would be happy to assist you in discussing options and guiding you in creating a birth plan that aligns with your values.
Postpartum Support
The postpartum period can be both joyful and challenging. Our postpartum doulas provide practical assistance, emotional support, and evidence-based information to help you navigate the early days and weeks (even years!) of parenthood with confidence. We are here to support your physical and emotional recovery as well as your ongoing well-being throughout parenthood.
