Meet Teresa
For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to be a mother. That dream came true in 1998 with the birth of my first daughter. In 2000 I gave birth to my 2nd daughter very unexpectedly on the kitchen floor with my husband filling in as my midwife. No Joke! It was slightly chaotic but it made me realize that my body was designed for birth. In 2003 we decided to try the organized home birth with a midwife present and it was this birth—the birth of my first son—that sparked a passion for labour and delivery and began to shape a vision for my current line of work as a Doula. In 2004, I gave birth to my youngest son. Although I was excited to experience another homebirth, he had other plans and needed to be delivered by way of C-Section. Birth can be unpredictable sometimes. It wasn’t long after knowing I was finished having babies that I realized just how much I respected the birth process. I made the decision to train as a childbirth educator and labour/postpartum doula because I saw there was a need, a need for people to understand and experience labour and delivery rather than simply find a way to deal with the pain. My desire is to travel with you on your journey through pregnancy, delivery and early parenting so you can enjoy and thrive in each step along the way.

Testimonials
We very much appreciate your support during such an important time in our lives. Your calming voice, suggestions to progress labour and overall presence helped us have a great experience. We couldn’t have done this without you! Thank You.
Where do I begin? I want to thank you so much for the prenatal classes you gave [us]. Our son was born weighing 9.9 lbs in the comfort of our home. Labour and delivery went really well…. only because of you. As everything was progressing, I kept thinking back to our sessions. Everything was as you had described. I stayed focused and motivated because I felt like I knew what to expect. I have recommended you to everyone I know. You were amazing!
My husband and I felt more confident for our birth. He learned how he could help me during labour to keep me comfortable (as best you can in labour) and to help encourage me through it. There is not much room for improvement. We encourage all our friends to meet with you before a baby arrives. Thank you Teresa!
