My name is Mila (she/her), I am a doula and I am here to support and empower you through your incredible journey of pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I founded Kootenay Womb Wisdom with a passion for supporting expectant parents with warmth, non judgment, knowledge and a whole lot of heart.
I am here to cater to your specific and unique needs throughout your journey, whether you are just starting to plan, it is your first pregnancy, you are adding another little one to your family, or you are looking for a different experience. I will help guide you throughout this special and transformative time in your life.
My own journey into birth work began during my pregnancy with my daughter, where I experienced an unplanned belly birth. This transformative experience ignited my commitment to supporting others during this pivotal time in their lives.
I am passionate about helping you have a positive experience, creating a safe space where you feel confident in making decisions that feel right for you and your family. Your birth experience is uniquely yours, and I'm here to honor your choices with respect and understanding
At Kootenay Womb Wisdom, I offer a range of personalized doula services tailored to fit exactly what you need. From prenatal education that is helpful and engaging, to being there with you every step of the way during labor, and providing nurturing support postpartum—I've got you covered.
I am here to listen, support your emotional well being, to ease any worries, and to help you feel strong and empowered as you embark on your journey into parenthood.
I currently offer support to families who are choosing a home or hospital birth in Nelson and up to 30 minutes around. Sliding scale and payment plans are available and I also offer Birth Pool Rentals.
I would love hearing from you. Let's connect and have a chat.
