Our Services
Prenatal & Pregnancy Care Services
1. Birth Doula + Labour Support
“Birth is not only about making babies,
it’s about making parents.”
A doula can completely shape the outcome of your labour and postpartum experience. Our experienced and compassionate doula team is the focused on caring for a family in the months and weeks leading up to the birth, supporting you through the entirety of your birth journey (in person - in home, or hospital), and helping you transition postpartum with a number of in-home sessions. We will guide you to identify your values, goals, and thoughts of what a satisfying birth experience looks like, help you develop a plan or strategy to meet these goals, and ensure you and your family feel as physically prepared and empowered as possible.
-
A birth doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy, labour, and birth. They help you prepare for birth, offer comfort measures and guidance during labour, support your partner, and advocate for your preferences—so you feel informed, supported, and grounded in your experience.
Before your baby’s birth the focus is preparation. Your doula will provide unbiased and evidence-informed education along the way, practice hands-on comfort measures and techniques to optimize your body’s innate stamina and resilience.
When it comes time for the birth journey to begin your birth doula will be on-call and ready to join you at your chosen birthing and laboring locations. During labor your doula will offer continuous support to your family through means of hands-on care, positioning suggestions, hydrotherapy, verbal encouragement, coaching, and guiding you through the comfort strategies you practiced together in the preparation sessions prior. They will remain with your family until after your baby is born and until you feel ready for quiet bonding time.
You and your doula will schedule your postpartum support in the days and weeks after your child has arrived. They may offer in-hospital support, gentle home-based body work, lactation support, and general personalized care designed to support your new family, and reorient you back into your body, nervous system.
-
Midwives and doulas play different, complementary roles in your care. Your midwife provides medical care—monitoring you and your baby, managing clinical decisions, and supporting a safe birth. A doula focuses on continuous emotional, physical, and informational support—helping you stay comfortable, grounded, and supported throughout labour, while also supporting your partner and advocating for your preferences.
The duo of midwifery care, and a birth doula is the foundation of an incredible birth team. -
From 37 weeks onward, your doula is on call for your birth—available to you 24/7, day and night. This means we’re ready to support you whenever labour begins, staying close, well-rested, and prepared to join you when you need us.
Being on call means we say no to a lot - long hikes, camping trips, and late-night celebrations - so we can be fully available for you.

Tamara Cleaver: Tamara has been serving the greater Victoria birth world since 2012, “Tamara is my 'knight in shining armour'! She has helped fill the roles of mother, best friend and sister since my family live far away. She helps me feel more confident in my role as a new mom offering encouragement, words of wisdom and sometimes just a hug when I need it most. I'm so glad we were matched up, when I needed her most, she is flexible and understanding, exactly what you need when you navigate uncharted waters!”
Dalal Rahme: “During my 10-day silent meditation retreat in 2023, my calling to become a birthworker became louder as a midwife recommended to me on the 10th day that I should work with mothers as I have the type of energy for the space. I pursued training online in becoming a doula, childbirth educator and somatic practitioner whilst traveling Latin America. Since landing in Victoria, I have been living my purpose serving parents and households, and it has been a pleasure. My intention is for you to feel safe, to feel vulnerable, build capacity through your nervous system, and help you to meet all that life brings with presence and love.”
Kailee Mcdonald: “My doula journey began in 2023 when I accompanied my friend during the birth of her first baby. Since then, I have been taking a variety of courses through Doula Canada and have also provided labour and delivery support to multiple families. I am incredibly passionate about this work and have loved every second of it. I truly believe I have found my calling. I am so thankful to each and every one of you for considering me to be your Doula and for allowing me to work with you during this beautiful and challenging time, and for welcoming me into your sacred space. Thank you! I can't wait to meet you!”

4. Clinical Counselling
Nurturing your mind and heart through a transformative time
Pregnancy is a time of anticipation, joy, and sometimes anxiety. Certified counselling provides essential support for expectant parents and families, helping you navigate the emotional and psychological changes that accompany this significant life transition. Counselling during the prenatal and pregnancy period is a valuable resource, ensuring that expectant families receive the emotional support and guidance they need for a healthy and positive pregnancy experience.
-
Some of the benefits of counselling during the prenatal period include:
Emotional Support: Offers a safe space to discuss feelings of anxiety, fear, or excitement, ensuring emotional balance and well-being.
Stress Management: Provides strategies to manage stress and anxiety related to pregnancy, childbirth, and becoming a parent.
Preparation for Parenthood: Helps in preparing mentally and emotionally for the upcoming changes, fostering a positive mindset and readiness for parenthood.
Coping with Physical Changes: Assists in adjusting to the physical changes of pregnancy, promoting a healthy body image and self-esteem.
Relationship Support: Aids in maintaining strong relationships with partners, family, and friends, enhancing communication and mutual support.
Addressing Pregnancy-Related Concerns: Offers guidance and support for any pregnancy-related issues, such as fears about childbirth or concerns about the baby's health.

Sessions are 50 minutes in order to maintain confidentiality between clients. For this reason, please respect the anonymity of the client before you and aim to not arrive early to your appointment.
When appropriate, usually when working with couples or EMDR, it may be recommended to book a 90 minute sessions in order to allow enough time to complete session goals based on the type of therapy being offered.
-
Every plan is different. We always recommend that you contact your extended benefits provider directly and ask whether they would consider funding counselling with a specific provider. All our clinicians are certified with regulatory bodies of Canada.
-
The truth is that not all clients and counsellors are a good fit and it is absolutely okay but healthy and recommended that you talk to several therapists before choosing to work with someone. Forming a strong therapeutic relationship is a critical part of counselling thus we offer a free consultation to discuss your counselling needs. In the event you think another practitioner or resources would be a better fit, we would be more than pleased to offer alternative therapists or other community resources. Likewise, sometimes while working with a counsellor it becomes apparent that the next step in a client's journey is outside of their current therapeutic relationship. In that case, we would work together to create a continuing care plan that better meets your needs at that time. Our ultimate responsibility as a counsellor is to help you access support that is relevant to you, regardless of whether we are a good fit or if we've worked together for a long or a short time.
5. Acupuncture
Registered acupuncture in Victoria, BC.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has promoted specialized treatment for women in pregnancy care and postpartum recovery for over 3000 years. Pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal recovery are viewed as essential to and as a window of opportunity to enhance a woman’s well being and health. Therefore if proper care is not taken the resulting problems may affect a woman for her whole life. Thus, prevention is essential to strengthen the mother and baby and all problems are dealt with as they occur during pregnancy. Today this care is becoming increasingly widespread and is used by acupuncturists and specially trained midwives in countries such as Denmark, England, France, Germany, Holland, Norway, Sweden, and New Zealand. In these countries acupuncture is available in specialized antenatal clinics and maternity hospitals.

Initial consultation
Your journey begins with an initial consultation in a private treatment room with a member of our acupuncture team. During this one-on-one discussion, you'll have the opportunity to share your health concerns, medical history, and any specific symptoms you're experiencing. This conversation helps us gain a comprehensive understanding of your unique needs.
Assessment
After the initial consultation, your therapist will perform a physical examination, which may involve checking your pulse, tongue, and feeling for any areas of tension or discomfort. These diagnostic tools allow the practitioner to identify imbalances in your physical body and its energy, or Qi.
Prepare for treatment
Based on the information gathered from your intake form, interview, and assessment, your registered acupuncturist will create a personalized treatment plan. You will lay, or sit comfortably on a treatment table. It's advisable to wear loose-fitting clothing to ensure easy access to acupuncture points, but you are welcome to snuggle in fresh sheets and blankets if needed.
During treatment
The heart of the acupuncture session involves the gentle insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points on your body. The needles are extremely thin, and the sensation is typically minimal, often described as a slight pinch or tingling. Your practitioner will place the needles strategically to address your unique concerns. Your therapist may also use other strategies such as acupressure, cupping, moxibustion, and other traditional healing methods. Once the needles are in place, you'll have the opportunity to relax and unwind. The duration of your treatment will vary depending on your specific condition but typically lasts around 40 minutes.
Post treatment discussion
Following your acupuncture session, you'll have a post-treatment discussion with your acupuncturist. They may offer lifestyle and other recommendations to complement your treatment plan and promote overall well-being.

7. Holistic Nutrition
Empowering your relationship with food
Working with a Holistic Nutritionist can help support managing symptoms or conditions through a food therapeutic based approach. Holistic nutrition looks at the body, as part of a whole picture that goes beyond what has been traditionally deemed as “healthy”. Considering food and how we eat, as part of a synergistic practice can transform how we perceive certain foods and how they make us feel. Therefore, we can shift how we digest and assimilate foods, making it more empowering and enjoyable. Together we will address any food allergies or sensitivities, explore how your food habits relate to self-care practices, creativity, and overall well-being.

Our initial consultation will last one hour. During this session, we will talk about your symptoms, lifestyle, stress levels, activity levels, dietary history, and any questions or worries you may have about starting. Together, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your wellness journey. You will receive written recommendations from me to take home and put into practice. We will begin with gradual and manageable steps to support you in making small changes that will enhance your ability to nourish yourself. Included will be recipes, meal prep tips, and guided hand outs. Follow ups are recommended 3 weeks after our appointment to review, reassess, and go deeper on our recommendations.
-
Building success here through food + nourishment is an evolving relationship. We notice ebs and flows that change with routine disruptions, stress, sleep patterns, and energy levels that may fluctuate with responsibilities or life changes. Making changes to how and what we eat, is built successfully through approachable steps and takes time to integrate. My approach to building your treatment plan is to start with increments to help you stay consistent and feel these subtle changes in your body. To see these practices through I recommend three appointments for a proper nutritional assessment and to go deeper into these changes.
-
Many times, a dietitian concentrates on the illness or disease, while a Holistic Nutritionist tailors their focus to each client, emphasizing the root cause of health issues and offering preventative strategies. Naturopathic doctors can assist by analyzing lab results, conducting assessments, and recommending therapeutic doses of supplements or injections. Holistic Nutrition delves into the energetic aspects of food and centers on diet therapy, how you eat, and bringing nourishment and self care as a whole picture.

Appointments for Holistic Nutrition may be covered by your insurance, such as Manulife, Greenshield, iA Financial Group, or through a specific nutrition coverage option that you may need to choose as part of your plan.

Yes!
From the moment your baby is conceived until the moment they are born (and beyond) massage therapy is safe during pregnancy. When you choose a registered healthcare provider who is educated in pregnancy specific conditions, indications, and contraindications, they will know how best to assess you to have a safe, effective treatment, no matter how far into the pregnancy you are.
Each massage therapy session is tailored to fit your specific needs, much like any other massage therapy appointment. Be sure to update your therapist on any news or medical check in’s you’ve had since you’ve seen them last.
-
Great question! We have a couple of options:
Most patients like to use our Body Cushion pregnancy support pillow to lay face down for a portion of the treatment. The majority of people find it very relieving and relaxing to enjoy a massage from this position.
That being said, our number one priority is that you feel deeply relaxed and comfortable. If you can’t get comfy face down, or there is another reason why the Body Cushion system isn’t appropriate for your treatment plan, all of our therapists are happy to treat you in a traditional side-lying position.
All of our tables have an electric supine lift - meaning that back raises up to you can be sitting in a reclined position. When it’s time to turn over, your therapist will raise the back half of the bed so you aren’t laying flat on your back.
