Having a doula at your birth can help create the space and set the tone of support for your birth. Birth work involves prenatal visits, on-call birth support and post-natal support to ease your transition into parenthood. Much of my birth support revolves around the understanding that birth is physiological process, and like every other physiological process, it is best supported when the individual is healthy and nourished prior to the birth. Using the wisdom and ancient traditions of Herbal Medicine, Ayurveda, Yoga and nutrition I can help supply you with the tools to have an empowering, gentle birth.

I was hesitant to have a doula at our birth, but having Asia as our doula was the best decision I made preparing the birth of my daughter. My partner is very comforting and supportive, so my initial plan was for it to just be the two of us, I thought that having other people there it wouldn’t be as intimate. I was so wrong! Having Asia there allowed for my partner to be there with me by my side without interruptions of him getting warm cloths, tea, clothes for me, filing the bath, etc.
Prior to our birth Asia supported me throughout my pregnancy with any questions or concerns I had. She gave me advice & provided us with resources on morning sickness, nutrition, stretching and anything else I needed. Prior to my due date we met with Asia two times. She made us feel very comfortable and prepared us to tackle a natural hospital birth without medical interventions. I don’t think I would’ve been able to handle it without her comforting me and guiding me through labour. I was in active labour for 16 hours and she was by my side whenever I needed her, it was the most empowering amazing experience of my life. She rubbed my back for what felt like the better part of 16 hours without stopping, helped me through my contractions, brought essential oils to help with calming and nausea, and also provided music which was very calming. She communicated with the nurses and doctors to make sure everyone was on the same page and I didn’t have to stress about anything. Not to mention she brought the most amazing energy to the room. Her calming, warm, welcoming personality made it so easy to connect with her and feel comfortable with her being a part of the most important day of our lives as new parents. I had a very positive birth experience, and I’m so beyond thankful that Asia was there with us. Naomi |

Asia was brought into my families life at just the right time. We both struggled at becoming comfortable with the birth of our twin girls but Asia’s welcoming personality made us happy to let her be part of the experience! Asia gave us tons of information and support during my pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She taught my husband how to help me relax and become part of the process as much as he and I wanted him to be. I am so grateful she was there to calm our nerves and let us truly be fulfilled from each moment of our chosen experience. Overall, the birth of my twin girls was magical and Asia’s unwavering support did not end there. After the birth of our beautiful girls she was there with my husband supporting him during his first few moments with his new baby girls to answer any questions while I recovered. When we got settled at home she visited us and helped me clean my house while I showered and continued to provide such welcoming and comforting love to my family. She found me the community connections I needed to assist with future care and encouraged my parenting along the way. She was such a huge impact in my pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I truly recommend her to anyone that's wanting a empathetic, easygoing, nurturing doula.
I am so thankful for her kind and compassionate personality she holds. Tabitha |
