Birth Doula Program
The Birth Doula Program has been in operation since 2010, supporting families as they bring their babies into the world. We currently can support clients at The Scarborough Network and Markham Stouffville Hospital.
Our goal since we began was to make doulas affordable for all families. We currently offer families two options when registering for the program. They can choose to be a part of our Apprentice Program ($350 plus HST), which offers a doula who is working through certification at a lower rate, or they can hire an experienced certified doula ($1150 plus HST).
Apprentice Doula
Doulas in our training apprentice program have completed all of their in-class learning. They are now at the stages of getting hands-on experience to complete their certification.
In our training program doulas:
Have completed in-class training
Work with an experienced mentor
Are on-call for you 24/7/365
Will meet with you for 2 prenatal visits to help prepare you for labour
Will attend your birth from the time you ask us to join you in active labour
Will do one postpartum visit after birth to help with baby/recovery questions and feeding support
Experienced Doula
Some people prefer to work with more experienced and certified doulas. We have a wonderful team of experienced doulas who are happy to support you through your pregnancy and birth. With our experienced doulas, you can expect to choose the doula that is the right fit for your family.
In our experienced program doulas:
