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 care is grounded in 25 years' experience supporting & educating families during the childbearing year and into parenthood.
These guiding principles form the foundation of my services:
  • empower 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 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
I offer services from baby planning to childbirth preparation classes, 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."
