Bring Into Being Doula represents the heart of my doula practice - honoring reproductive experiences as sacred (sometimes wildly unpredictable) transitions into new states of being.
I am committed to ensuring that my services are accessible, inclusive, and supportive of marginalized communities - including 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, disabled individuals, people of color, and others who face systemic barriers to care. If my services or pricing are not accessible to you, I encourage you to reach out for sliding scale or low-cost options. I welcome ongoing communication and feedback on how I can make my work more accessible and inclusive to those who need it most.
Bring Into Being Doula is situated on Treaty 6 territory - the traditional lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, and Métis peoples. This land has long been a place of birth, kinship, and ceremony, shaped by generations of Indigenous families whose knowledge and care continue today. I hold gratitude for this place and the peoples who have always belonged to it. I strive to move in ways that respect Indigenous sovereignty, remaining open to learning from the teachings, birth traditions, and leadership of Indigenous communities. My work is rooted in relationship - with land, with people, and with the values of care and continuity that have existed here since long before me.
I call upon the Canadian government to fully implement the 94 Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and to make meaningful progress in addressing the injustices faced by Indigenous peoples. This includes the urgent need to prioritize Indigenous health, sovereignty, and the revitalization of cultural practices, especially in birth work. I stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities, demanding accountability, justice, and reparations for the harms caused by colonization. My commitment is to continue educating myself, actively listening to Indigenous leaders, and supporting initiatives that fight for Indigenous rights, autonomy, and healing.
