Welcome to
Birth Mark
Filling the gaps in perinatal care with free, trauma-informed support.
A Registered Charity offering Doula and Reproductive Supports to marginalized people and underserved communities from preconception to postpartum.
The Need
Too many people in our communities face pregnancy, birth, postpartum, or abortion without the support they deserve.
Canada’s maternal health system is stretched thin.
Racialized, low-income, newcomer, queer, trans, and marginalized communities face higher barriers and worse outcomes.
Health care providers and agencies can’t always meet the need for continuous, hands-on, client-led care.
The result? Families are left isolated. People navigate complex systems alone. Health outcomes suffer.
Our Approach
Birth Mark exists to respond to an urgent need for change.
We partner directly with hospitals, shelters, health centres, and community agencies who refer clients to us. Our trained doulas and support workers provide:
Birth & Postpartum Doula Support — prenatal guidance, labour support, recovery, and newborn care.
Abortion Support — compassionate accompaniment before, during, and after an abortion.
2SLGBTQIA+ & Family Building Support — care that affirms queer, trans, and non-binary families.
Training & Workshops — building equity, trauma-informed practice, and collaboration in perinatal care.
In-Kind Donations (Joanna’s Giving Wall) — dignity-based access to essential items for families.
What People Are Saying
““As a single first-time mother without much family nearby, I felt so alone and afraid… Birth Mark became a knowledgeable advocate, an encouraging friend, and a nurturing presence.”
— Birth Mark Client
“They became like my first point of contact. It was like mom on speed dial — nourishing, nurturing, and educational.”
— Birth Mark Client
“Our pregnancy became anxiety-inducing when we learned our baby would be born with a developmental defect. Luckily, we received doula services with Birth Mark and it has been a life-changing experience.”
