Doula

I believe that every mother and every baby deserve the right to protect the sacredness of their own birth experience. I believe that we, as a community, need to make the space and time for every mother to carry her babies and bring them into the world the way that works best for her, and for every baby to be the author of their own birth.

My Mission

I strive to do my best to advocate for all women, and to honour the natural wisdom of every mother. In order to do that, I believe that women need to be heard, supported, and trusted.

It is my greatest honour to able to bear witness to and support women and families through the experience of childbirth, and through the whirlwind of life changes that surround these magical years.

“Amina is a miracle. Her patience and relaxed vibes gave my wife such peace. She is attentive and kind and so loving with babies. I highly recommend her.”

‐ Justin Broadbent

“With no hyperbole, we call Amina the baby whisperer. She has a connection with children that is rare and magnificent to witness. Her academic knowledge of child development and it's theory is above average, but more than that I believe she innately knows children and their needs and connects with their little spirits.”

‐ Sarah Strickland

“During the birth and labour, which was very difficult with some unexpected issues, Amina remained completely focused and calm the entire time. She acted as my voice when I couldn't speak, ensuring that everyone, from the midwives to my partner, was following my wishes and making me feel as comfortable and supported as possible. ”

‐ Meg Broadbent

“Amina was like a true saviour to us. She brought a calm and soothing positive energy to our home and our children, and helped us get some much needed rest. It is rare you meet someone as special as Amina with a true gift for loving babies and children and getting the most out of our little people. We are all very lucky to have her in our lives!”

Labour Support

We will meet once prenatally to discuss your wishes for your childbirth. I will attend you throughout your entire labour and birth, and will stay with you until you have tried and established breastfeeding, if you are choosing to do so. If you are planning on formula feeding, I will stay until your baby has their first feed. I will come back within 24 hours and again within 72 hours, to check-in on you and see how you and your newborn are managing.

Sleep Support

$280/night
$800/3 nights

Craving a good night’s sleep? Or a date night without having to worry about coming home to a fussy sleeper? I’ll come take care of your infant overnight, either feeding the baby from a bottle, or bringing the baby to mama to nurse. Hours are flexible, but generally I will arrive at 8pm and stay until 8am, caring for your baby while you and yours get some much needed rest.
