Birth Doula Support

*Please note: I am not accepting new birth clients at this time.

When hiring Allison as your Birth Doula through Family Doulas of Ottawa, you can expect:

  • A team of two doulas on-call as soon as you hire

  • Two prenatal visits to your home, one with each doula, to get to know you and discuss expectations

  • Evidence-based information and local resources available to you so you can make the choices you want for your birthing experience

  • A group text and access to phone and email support to keep in touch with your doula team

  • Physical, emotional and informational support throughout your labour and birth (may need to be virtual, COVID-19 dependent)

  • Two postpartum visits, one with each doula, to debrief your birthing experience and assist with any infant care needs

  • Phone, email and video postpartum support for 6 weeks to meet your specific needs

I offer a FREE consultation phone consultation for you (and your partner) to discuss how we can work together. I’m looking forward to connecting with you!

What clients are saying:

Allison Welch (1).png

“Having Allison as a part of my care team for my pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience was invaluable. As a first time mom, experiencing pregnancy, labour and delivery felt confusing and overwhelming at times. Allison’s compassion, knowledge and care were exactly what I needed to feel empowered as I delivered my son. And once he was here, Allison’s support through the first few weeks left me feeling confident to navigate our new life as a family of three. Thank you for everything, Allison - we wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.”
