Our prenatal services are designed to help you prepare emotionally, physically, and mentally for your birth experience. We meet you where you are and provide evidence-based guidance so you feel informed, confident, and empowered.

We support you with:

• Up-to-date, evidence-based information to encourage self-advocacy and informed decision-making

• Formulating realistic birth preferences that reflect your values, needs, and chosen place of birth

• Modelling and encouraging effective communication strategies for you and your support person within your birthing team

• Comfort measures such as position changes, acupressure, comforting touch, movement, visualization, relaxation, and breathing techniques

• Feeding education and planning to help you feel ready for postpartum transitions

• Continuity of care, ensuring consistent and compassionate support throughout your pregnancy

During labour and delivery, your doula provides continuous, hands-on, and emotional support for you and your birth team. Our goal is to create a calm and empowering birthing environment where you feel heard and respected.

We help you by:

• Offering comfort techniques for pain management and emotional grounding

• Supporting communication between you, your partner, and healthcare providers

• Providing encouragement, reassurance, and advocacy so your choices are respected

• Helping your birth partner feel confident and involved

• Maintaining a nurturing and grounded presence, no matter how your birth unfolds

The early days of parenthood are a time of major adjustment. Our postpartum doulas offer compassionate, practical, and informed care to support your recovery and your baby’s transition to the world.

We can provide:

• Emotional support and space to process your birth experience

• Assistance with newborn care and sibling adjustment, including feeding, bathing, diapering, and soothing techniques

• A nurturing, restful atmosphere, allowing you and your supports to eat, nap, and take time for self-care

• Meal preparation, grocery shopping, and light household help to ease your daily load

• Feeding support and guidance on newborn sleep, development, and recovery from childbirth

• Referrals to community services or specialists for needs beyond the doula’s scope of care

At Birth Mark, we recognize that reproductive care extends far beyond birth and postpartum. In addition to our doula services, we’re proud to offer:

• 2SLGBTQ+ fertility and family-building support, creating affirming spaces for all paths to parenthood

• Support groups that foster connection, healing, and community

• Educational workshops focused on reproductive health, advocacy, and empowerment

• A donation wall that helps make doula care more accessible to all families

• Sessions with lactation consultants and naturopathic care providers for comprehensive, holistic support

These offerings ensure that every individual and family can access inclusive, evidence-based, and community-centered care throughout their reproductive journey.
