Be happy, be proud, and know that you are starting a journey; a new life is within you.
My name is Aleksandra Henderson and I live in Vancouver, BC. I am a doula and a Childbirth Educator. I am a mother of three and am passionate about the Miracle of Birth.
Doula is a Greek word meaning: a woman who serves. She is someone who
offers emotional and physical support for the mother and partner, from
before birth until breastfeeding is established.
My aim is to Make Birth an EXPERIENCE Rather Than a Process.
I have been
invited to provide labour support in over 200 births thus far and I have
taught childbirth education classes for over 9 years.
I pride myself on listening to you and your concerns, and developing a
teamwork environment between mom, partner and myself. I believe that a
doula’s purpose is not just to help with physical and emotional
support for the mother, but also acts as a facilitator for partners who
might have concerns about caring for a labouring mother. Upon meeting
with parents to be, I take the mother’s and partner’s vision
and help turn it in to a reality. I do this with respect to the balance
of nature and medical interventions, and with knowledge and experience
of both.
