Joa - la Doula

I offer a bilingual birth and postpartum doula service. A doula is a birth attendant, which means a non-medical member of your care team for the birth of your baby. The doula is not only present for the person who is going to give birth, but also for the partner and any other member of the family. It is like a fairy who makes sure that everything goes as smoothly and as beautifully as possible, according to your desires and the choices you are going to make in all consciousness. No matter what situation you find yourself in, the doula believes in you and supports you. Working with a doula means you are listened to with care and without any judgement. Your doula will be there to walk alongside you on your path. They bring confidence and awareness, aswell as light and strenght. In other words, I am here to offer you a real support through your life passages – from pregnancy to birth, postpartum to parenting challenges, from perinatal mourning to abortion. I also aid in the birth of major life projects or their failures (biological or not, parenting can be seen in many different levels !) Therefore, it is with all my gentleness, my constant trust and my warm kindness that I accompany you by collaborating with you towards what fascinates me the most : loving life ! No matter where you find yourself, I welcome you, without judgment and with great esteem. It is an honor for me to walk with you in this path intended for you !

Fun Fact

Les Suètes are a unique weather phenomenon that occurs only on the northern coast of Cape Breton. This occurs when a low pressure system presses down on the winds that flow over the highland plateau coming from the east or southeast. The wind is trapped between the plateau and the low pressure causing a squeezing action producing the wind effect similar to someone blowing through a straw. As the wind flows off of the plateau it can gain speeds up to and over 200 km/h. This weather event can happen weekly in the fall, winter and spring months and less frequently during the summer.
