Neighbourhood Doulas

Actions

A doula is a birth companion trained in childbirth. They provide emotional, physical, and informational/educational support to a mother/birthing person who is pregnant, is experiencing labour, or has recently given birth.

Free online Birth Education Classes are available on Wednesday mornings. This 5 week course covers birth preparation, birth options, mental health and wellbeing and positive parenting.

If you would like to be referred to the service, please ask your midwife or health care professional to refer you via our website and confirm you are eligible.
