About Us

We are a membership based group of trained doulas in the West Kootenay's. The Kootenay Doula Group was formed in 2000 by a small group of passionate women beginning their journey to become doulas. These doulas gathered together to support one another, share birth stories and collaborate on ways to bring their knowledge, empathy and support to our community. At that time, they worked towards recognition as a profession within the medical milieu. Since conception, The Kootenay Doula Group has grown significantly in membership, enjoying an enriching circle of doulas with a variety of experiences. Doulas in our community are valued and respected members of the care providers team at home and in the hospital.

​Each doula in our group has their own individual practise. As you read the biographies you will discover a diverse range of education, life skills and unique passions that give you options in finding a great match. All members have formal training as a Doula and utilize this, coupled with their experiences from related fields which provide a collective continuum of support. 
Our Values:
  • Compassion: We approach each family with understanding, kindness, and respect.
  • Inclusivity: We celebrate diversity and believe every individual deserves personalized care.
  • Empowerment: We aim to educate and empower families to make informed decisions throughout their journey.
  • Evidence-Based: We provide support grounded in the latest research and best practices.
