Hello everyone! My name is Raissa Chernoff (Rye-ee-sa). I was born and raised in the Kootenay’s with a passion for helping others. I run Nurturing Doula Care, where I provide postpartum care to families in their baby's first year of life. My vision is to have a community where everyone with a new baby feels held and supported after their birth.
Parents can spend a lot of time preparing for the birth but little time planning for what happens when the baby comes home. Through planning prenatally for postpartum and visiting you as much as you need once the baby arrives, I can help ease the incredible transition you are going through. I provide emotional, informational and practical support you in this transitional time.
I work with all sorts of family constellations, including adoptive, single-parent and surrogate families. I especially enjoy working with the LGBTQIA2S+ community and people with disabilities or mental health challenges.
