​

TLC was founded on the concept of the full spectrum doula - looking at the need for physical and emotional support through different transitions in life.

 

In pregnancy and birth we provide physical and emotional support alongside education from pregnancy through to the postpartum period. We answer questions about pregnancy, labour, breastfeeding and the postpartum period, prepare with you for pain management and expectations around labour, inform you about your choices, refer you to other practitioners and services when needed, and offer massage for relaxation, circulation and to ensure the health of the uterus, and teas. We provide continuous support during labour.

​

Our doula is a Registered Massage Therapist, Arvigo® Practitioner and trained in Spinning Babies. We focus on uterus health at all stages, including preconception, preparing for an optimal labour and postpartum healing.

​

This is a unique time in a person and family's life. Joys and challenges alike, we are there beside you.
