Welcome to the world, baby!

_My name is Debra Woods. I am one of the more experienced birth & postpartum doulas serving the Greater Vancouver area.  I am also a childbirth and parenting educator.

I love caring for pregnant women, their partners and new families. 

My care is grounded in 25 year's experience, serving more than 500 families during the childbearing year.

I enjoy educating & inspiring couples as they navigate through one of life's most memorable experiences, from pregnancy to parenting. 

I provide 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

This is such a special time as you embark on your journey toward becoming parents.
It's not only the birth of your child, but the birth of you -  as a mother... a father. And most importantly, as a family.

I'd love to share my wisdom with you gleaned from over 2 decades of experience. 

__My care is centered in these guiding principles:

• empower pregnant women and their families through education and supportive, sensitive & respectful care
• believe in pregnancy & birth as a fundamentally healthy & normal  process - a joyous life event & a 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
