BLOOMING BIRTHS - IN-PERSON DOULA SUPPORT
Birth can be unpredictable.
Your support shouldn't be.
From the first signs of labour to the moments when everything feels intense, you deserve more than reassurance.
You deserve someone who knows how to support your body, steady the room, guide your partner and help you feel heard when decisions matter.
HOW I'LL SUPPORT YOU
You don't have to know how to navigate every moment of birth.
That's why I'm here.
You've read the books and taken the classes.
But when labour begins, things can feel very different.
From prenatal jitters to easing physical discomfort to navigating unexpected decisions and the weeks after birth, I'm there to offer practical support, reassurance and guidance when you need it most.
You remain at the centre of your birth. I'm there to help you feel supported, heard and cared for, however it unfolds.
MEET YOUR DOULA
Hi, I'm Chantel
Mother | Doula, childbirth educator | trauma-informed somatic practitioner | Parent Coach
​​​
My own journey into motherhood didn't go the way I'd hoped. I went through a traumatic birth and in the months that followed, sunk into postpartum depression. Lost myself many times and wondered who I was - I know how deeply birth can shape a woman and how much the care around it matters.
​
That experience shaped why I do this work. I believe every woman deserves to be treated with dignity, listened to and supported through birth, not simply told what to do. Preparation matters, but so does being heard, feeling respected and having someone who will stay with you through moments of uncertainty.
​
I've been where some of you are.
You don't have to carry it alone.
​
My support goes beyond the physical experience of birth. I also help women gently explore the fears, limiting beliefs and expectations they carry into motherhood, and grow a kinder, more nurturing inner voice. One that replaces self-doubt with compassion, builds trust in themselves and reminds them they are worthy of care, too.
​
Your body, your birth, your choices.
I'm proudly pro-choice. Whether you're hoping for an unmedicated birth, one with epidural or a cesarean birth, I'll support you and meet you where you are.
​
Not a promise of a perfect birth.
But compassionate, practical care that honours you, your choices and the family you're becoming.
REAL STORIES
From families who've been in the room
I had the incredible privilege of having Chantel from Blooming Birth as my doula throughout my pregnancy journey, and I cannot speak highly enough of her support and expertise. From the moment I expressed my desire for a water birth at Thomson Medical, to changing my mind and opting for a home birth at week 38 after viewing the birthing suite, Chantel stood by my side and fully supported my decision.
Chantel not only provided unwavering encouragement for my birth plan change, but she also gave my husband and me a tremendous amount of assurance during this transition. He frequently called and messaged Chantel in the days leading up to the birth, and she was always available to answer our questions and offer guidance. Her calm and reassuring presence allowed us to feel confident and at ease during this potentially stressful time.

Chantel was my doula and worked with me/my husband throughout pregnancy and labour. She is so easy to connect with and we immediately felt comfortable with her guiding us through our journey. Chantel came to our home to give us our prenatal classes and I really like how she engaged my husband every step of the way. Going into labour I felt well informed, confident and like I always had someone to turn to.
Post birth, she has always been accessible and quick to share her experience/valuable resources which I appreciate because its going above and beyond the "call of duty." I would highly recommend Chantel to anyone who is looking for prenatal, doula or postpartum services, can't imagine what our journey would have looked like without her

My dream of having a successful VBAC came true with Chantel's support and guidance.
My husband and I truly enjoyed attending the preparation course where Chantel was very calm and confident in the way she addressed many of our concerns around having a VBAC. It was easy for us to get along and feel comfortable with Chantel from the onset. The sessions helped me feel inspired to strive for an empowering birth experience no matter what the outcome was. Chantel also shared many tips which helped to prepare my body for labor, including several exercises which I did daily with the help of my husband.
Chantel had a calming presence in the labor room. Although my labor was 26 hours long, I felt protected and safe, loved and cared for the whole time. She did everything to help me cope with the surges. She worked together with my husband to help me move into various positions even while on epidural. Baby was born healthy and came straight into my arms. Thank you Chantel for the transformative and empowering birth experience!
