honouring birth as
emotional and spiritual -
as well as physical.
No matter where you are birthing, no matter what style of birth… and no matter who your medical care providers are.
We are an additional layer of educational and emotional support, available to you!
We are here to listen to you – your feelings, your needs, your dreams (and your fears too).
We exist inside a large, shared community building named Pachamama House (meaning “Mother Earth”).
We have beautiful lounges, a resident massage therapist and a preloved maternity and baby clothing recycling room.
Treasure hunt and donate to take items home – help us raise our rent costs and help reduce your ecological footprint.
For our events we have full use of the main buildings’ workshop rooms and yoga space.
We provide free birth doula Q&A; free birth counsellor debriefs; and other supports too!

In the meetings I’ve been to, the discussions have been informative and positive. Mothers and partners can share their experiences with the group if they like, and others can benefit”.
