Alex is a gift to women on their birth journey, from taking her courses and receiving coaching, I was able to make informed choices all along the way. By asking me, “What do you want?” I had an empowering physiological birth at home with my husband and midwives. No matter the unexpected waves, and turns that can happen during pregnancy, and birth working with Alex will set any expecting mom up to walk into her birth with confidence and afterwards to say she had a positive birth experience.

If you have witnessed birth on TV & movies and look forward to that sort of experience - Alex is NOT your girl! If you trust in the process of the woman's body, believe women innately know how to grow and birth their baby and want to honour the birth process without over medicalization - Alex is the doula for you!! Alex was such an amazing partner in our birth experience. Not only did she help prepare my partner to support me, she walked me through the physiological processes my body would experience throughout pregnancy, labour and postpartum. Knowing what to expect from the process was incredibly empowering and as a result, I was not swayed by the fear mongering around birth that we see in the hospital system. Alex was full of information and resources that were evidence based and physiologically orientated and aligned herself fully with the idea of informed consent. She honoured by wishes and help me create a birth plan that felt intuitively right for me. Her guidance empowered me to tap into the intuition of my body and trust in the nature of pregnancy. She provided a calm, grounding energy throughout the birth experience and helped me to have the birth experience of my dreams! I delivered a healthy, happy baby boy in my bathtub without any interventions, medications or coached labouring. Alex is THE DOULA for any women who wants to have autonomy over their pregnancy and birth experience. She will help you navigate the experience with grace - encouraging you to trust in your body and intuition from start to finish!

Alex was there for me before, during, and after and she was so wonderful. So calm and supportive, kind and gentle. A wonderful soul. She answered ALL my questions during pregnancy and after. She was so knowledgeable and provided facts to enable my husband and I to make the right decisions for us! She provided helpful techniques and information to help me get through the pregnancy, plan for labour and plan for a quick recovery and healthy baby. Thank you Alex a million times for all your help, you truly made the whole process a million times easier! THANK YOU!

Alexandra constantly motivates me, and reminds me that I am stronger than I think. Prior to my daughter’s birth she gave me the confidence I was missing, and most importantly she taught me to trust myself and my body. Her continued support always puts me at ease and inspires me to be the best version of me!

Alexandra was my doula for my first baby, a beautiful healthy girl born in September 2019. I went into my pregnancy knowing a fair amount about babies, and kids as there are quite a few in the family, but because it was my own first baby there was a lot I needed to learn. (I always got to send the kiddos home to mom and dad after getting the kids nice and hyper) I also had a team of midwives from the beginning of my pregnancy, but I can honestly say I got more informative conversations, and positive outcome out of my shorter time with Alex. She always made me feel like I was in control of how I wanted “my birth plan” to go, and that I could do it any way I wanted, and that she was with me the entire way no matter what. Alex went above and beyond to make the day I went into labour as comfortable as she possibly could, while making sure I knew all my options, or had answers for any questions I had. She offered not only birthing techniques to ease the process, emotional support, postpartum care for both momma, and baby and so much more. You can feel the love she has for her job, her clients, and bringing the baby into the world in every conversation you have with Alex. I am very grateful to have had her by my side supporting me every step of the way - did I mention she was also 8 months pregnant herself, and never complained once. Talk about a super-mama! Thank you, Alex, for everything you did for me, my baby, and my fiancé. You made this whole experience something to remember and kept the positive vibes flowing throughout the whole room – we love you!

I had lost my own mother 7 months before I became pregnant and now during a pandemic no less, I found myself really needing a reliable woman with unwavering support through my pregnancy and labour I could trust and count on. Alex was just that. If I needed to just vent or just that reassurance or information on something to empower me, she was always there and quick to help. I think its important as a woman and being pregnant to find your support tribe and Alex was front and centre to cheer me on all the way. She had a great birth blueprint course that gave me so much information on birth I had no idea about. If it werent for her I definitely wouldn't have had the knowledge or confidence in birth that I had. She empowered me to take control of my health in pregnancy and my babe. And I love the books she lets you borrow to gain more insights as well. If you're looking for a doula she is just overall the sweetest and kindest soul that sees you for the woman you are and are capable of. 🙂 Alex is truly amazing, Thank You so Much!

Wow… What can I say about Alex!? She made my birthing experience so easy. From the moment I told her I was pregnant, up until the moment I gave birth to my little girl. Alex was with me every step of the way. She explained to me risks, benefits, and consent. She helped me gain confidence in my desires for birth and to listen to my body. I had a previous csection and was looking to have VBAC. I wanted to have it unmediated, with no interventions. Well, I was able to do just that because Alex advocated for me when the epidural was mentioned as I was on hour 24 of labour and completely exhausted. She said no and didn’t even entertain it to my midwives because she knew that’s what I wanted and I had expressed my wishes to her well beforehand to speak up for me. Although I didn’t get a water birth like I wanted, I still pushed my girl out… by myself and I’m so thankful I was able to listen to my body and do it. If you’re looking for a natural minded informed choice doula who is for you every step of the way, look no further. Alex is your girl. And she will go to the very end with you. Thank you again Alex for being there for one of the most important things I’ll ever do in life. You’re simply wonderful and I’ll always treasure what you did for me and my family 💕.
*The room pictures is the day I was labouring. Dark, quiet, eating and riding the waves. I sent this picture to Alex to let her know how I was doing and she championed me the whole time I laboured at home. She arrived after I had laboured for 16 hours and stayed with me for another 2 hours at home and then we headed to the hospital. I’m so grateful I stayed home as long as I could.

I found Alexandra exactly when I needed her. She was comforting and was able to put me at ease. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to use her as my doula as I reached out to her at the end of my pregnancy (third c section) she provided me information and was able to equip me with the confidence I needed to go forward with my procedure and provided me information I didn’t previously have access to. She is compassionate and understanding and I cannot thank her enough. If you get the opportunity to work with Alexandra during your pregnancy you won’t regret it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alex was an absolute dream to work with! She is very passionate in what she does and truly cares about her clients. She helped ease my worries throughout my entire journey from pregnancy to postpartum with providing all of her knowledge. Her daddy doula prep was amazing to help get my partner prepare in helping support me during birth. It was clear her prep courses helped us get on the same page and ensure we know what birth choices we wanted to make. Without her help, I’m sure I would have ended up putting my birth in the hands of the doctors instead of making the informed decisions I did!

I feel blessed to have connected with Alex this past year. She is a wealth of information, and she gives you this sense of calm and support. I attended one of her workshops, Save The Lady Parts, and it was super informative and I felt empowered after, as much of this information isn't mainstream. I absolutely am happy I attended this workshop and I cannot wait to attend more in the future! 🙂

Hiring Alex was THE best decision I made in my pregnancy. Both me and my husband agree we couldn’t have done our unmedicated home Birth without her.
I found it incredibly helpful taking her prenatal/labour/postpartum/newborn care course. It was packed with soooo much valuable info I continued to refer back to. I was feeling stressed shifting through what I should be learning and from where and I’m so glad I found Alex and took her course and hired her for our home birth. It was so convenient to be able to text her with questions (before and after) and she was always so helpful!
During labour she was so intuitive to know exactly what both my husband and I needed throughout labour. I can’t tell you how amazing it is to have someone who just knows what you need when you’re in labour.
She was such a calming and supportive presence throughout and after our baby was born. She also made me feel so confident, supported, reassured and informed throughout my pregnancy and postpartum.
I truly can’t imagine any of this without her. I truly believe she is a huge part of the reason I had the birth I planned for and it was such a positive experience. Alex truly went and continues to go above and beyond for me. She had a hugely positive impact on my entire pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience.
I will sing her praises over and over and refer her to anyone I know!!!! Don’t hesitate and hire her, it’ll be the best decision you make for you and your baby!

Working with Alex was a dream. I honestly loved our (Audrey’s) birth experience even more because of the support and the work we did with Alex throughout pregnancy. I learned SO much about physiological birth and about myself that it was truly enlightening to experience it all. I felt so seen and heard throughout our prenatal visits but even more during birth. She made me feel like a birthing queen, and her support during every contraction was exactly what I needed.

I love your enthusiasm and passion for physiological birth. I loved our initial conversations and questions because it really gave me the foundation for home birth and my birth practice, values, etc. it also laid the groundwork for how I made my later decisions. I also loved your meetings at our house and how you incorporated my partner into it all which was super important to me.
