Doulas Amanda and Kelly invited expecting and new parents to visit and ask questions relating to doula care

Celebrating International Doula Month

May was International Doula Month, and what better way to celebrate than a free event for prenatal and postnatal health hosted by trained doulas. Healthy food, door prizes and other health practitioner seminars rounded out the event at Pacific Health Centre, located at 168 Annette Street. In addition to the seminars, Michelle from Quiet Nights was displaying her line of non-toxic products, including glass baby bottles, bottle covers, organic products and stainless steel products as alternatives to plastic.
Doulas are assistants who provide non-medical support and care for you and your baby before, during and after labour and delivery.

Doulas provide non-medical emotional, physical and informational support to parents during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. The support of a doula increases parents’ satisfaction with their birth experience and reduces the likelihood of intervention.

At Doula Speed Dating, 12 doulas will be in attendance for face-to-face mini-interviews. Ask all the questions you need while cutting down on the amount of time you spend researching and interviewing doulas. There is no expectation to commit to a doula right away – just test the waters & see if a doula is right for you.

Registration is required. To register and for more information please contact Amanda Spakowski at 416-722-3814 or amanda@thenestingplace.ca
