Welcome to the world, baby!

I am Debra Woods, one of the more experienced birth and postpartum doulas in the Greater Vancouver area.
I am also a childbirth and parenting educator.    

My doula care is grounded in 25 years experience, serving more than 600 families during the childbearing year.

These guiding principles form the foundation of my services:

• empower pregnant women and their families through education and supportive, sensitive & respectful care
• trust in pregnancy & birth as a fundamentally healthy & normal  process - a joyous life & family centered event
  
• support birthing women's right to choose how they want to give birth, with access to all care options
  
• advocate for autonomy, offering current evidence based research to make informed decisions or informed refusal

I offer services from baby planning to childbirth preparation, breastfeeding & newborn care education, birth & postpartum doula care and placenta encapsulation.

Please contact me for a complimentary consultation where we can meet and discuss both your particular needs and my services.       778-997-0753

I'd love to share my wisdom with you gleaned from over two decades of experience.

This is a most important time as you begin your journey toward becoming parents. It's not only the birth of your child, but the birth of you as parents. And most importantly, as a family.

"Debra gave excellent support that was exceptionally compassionate and caring. I strongly recommend her for her talent, wisdom & intuitive support."
