Birth and Postpartum Doula Serving the Stony Plain, Spruce Grove, and Outer Edmonton Area
Hi, I’m Alex.
I am a Doula Canada Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula and Chilbirth Educator.
I am a wife and boy mama. I have had 2 unmedicated births- a “failed” home birth and a birth center water birth.
I have experienced the inner workings of doubt and fear in the birth space and am passionate about helping other parents feel empowered and in control- even in the most out of control situations!
I believe our bodies are made to grow, birth, and nourish our children. I love to empower women to trust their bodies and to give birth fearlessly.
When I’m not working with families, you’ll find my family in Jasper or Banff, camping, hiking, and sightseeing—enjoying a good s’more around the fire. We are passionate about our health and total body wellness. I am also in the process of trying to get into midwifery at MRU- in other words you’ll find me deep in a book, studying!
The Fearless Birth philosophy
“Women who trust their bodies and believe in their capability to birth babies are unstoppable. They are strong and powerful and badass to those around them. Birth is an immensely vulnerable space, and it’s important to have trusting support people around you.”
When it comes to the labor and birth process, Fear plays a major role in the perception of pain. When you can look at the Fear-Tension-Pain cycle with understandings and plans to get our of it Fear can exit the picture and peace can enter!
Fearless Birthing Works with clients to achieve this with 3 main pillars!
Education
In our opinion the most important pillar of a Fearless Birth. If all you do to prepare for birth is seek out education opportunities you are 2 steps ahead of the majority of first time parents. Education is a foundational aspect of empowerment and Fearlessness- and the best part? We offer both in person and online education opportunities!
Advocacy
One of the most important tools that every parent can bring into the birth space. Advocacy is what helps mamas remain autonomous and at peace throughout their whole labor. It is an important Pillar in the Fearless Birth Philosophy and so it is one that we focus on and teach tools to empower parents to advocate for their desires and dreams.
Support
Support throughout pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum makes all the difference in this huge transition. With both partner support workshops as well as doula support services this is the next pillar in achieving a fearless birth. And it can be tailored to fit exactly what you need. From in person doula services to virtual doula services, prenatals without the doula service and so much more.
Why Choose Doula support?
It’s Evidence Based
Evidence shows that hiring a doula lowers rates of interventions and shortens labor times. While we cannot guarantee outcomes, doulas work with their knowledge and education to help you and your baby navigate physiological birth.
