Birth Mark Doula, Toronto

Specialty: birth, postpartum, sleep consultant, hypnobirthing, aromatherapy, speaks French and Spanish

My professional journey as a birth and postpartum doula began after my third pregnancy. My beautiful and gentle birthing experience inspired me to share with other future parents the tools and guidance I received while walking the path of pregnancy and postpartum. I became passionate about the beautiful process, from pregnancy to parenting and all the challenges in between, so I became a certified full spectrum doula shorter after that.

I have been supporting families for over 15 years. I’ve been lucky to work with families of different cultural backgrounds, religions, parenting methods, etc. When working with a family, my top priority is to guide and support them while respecting their parenting philosophies.

I am pursuing my bachelor’s degree in health care and the Dona International full spectrum Doula certification. I am a certified pediatric Sleep Consultant, and owner of The Sleep Consultant That Could, a member of the Association of Professional Sleep Consultants and the Association of Ontario Doulas. I have completed the Newborn Baby Care Specialization at the University of Colorado, and I hold a Nutrition and Lifestyle in Pregnancy certification from the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich. I have also completed my Clinical Uses of Aromatherapy certification from the University of Minnesota.

Besides working as a doula and sleep consultant, I teach future local birthing parents the uses of hypnobirthing and aromatherapy to aid relaxation, decrease stress, and cope with pain during labour.

I live in downtown Toronto with my husband and my three beautiful toddlers. I am passionate about self-care and finding the balance between work and family. When I’m not working, I dedicate my free time to ballet as a student at Canada’s National Ballet School.
