Like anything, there are levels of experience and expertise. For such an important and meaningful life event, I'd overwhelmingly encourage everyone to take advantage of the best - and that means Doulas of Vancouver!

Debra's birthing preparation and post-care classes were nothing short of amazing. Incredible teacher, highly supportive, and created a safe space to learn, share, and grow. We went in thinking taking 'a class' just made sense to do, but she had such a positive impact on us, she quite literally changed our lives.

Jen was equally incredible as our Doula for the birth itself. Before, during, and after the big day, we felt constantly supported, and we're amazed by her knowledge, contributions, and honest kindness. She took us through our entire birth with care, expertise, and thoughtful action and support. You can never fully prepare for every labour scenario, but with Jen we had a real-time partner that helped us achieve the ideal more than we could have ever imagined.

We would recommend both Debra and Jen to everyone!

We had the opportunity to work with all of these wonderful ladies throughout my pregnancy and postpartum. Liza's prenatal yoga got me moving and preparing for labour. Amanda's pre and post natal acupuncture helped get some much needed time out, her impromptu massages for aching muscles were so much appreciated too. Jen was booked to be our doula and was so supportive, providing books to read and a helping prepare for the birth we wanted at home. Unfortunately a family emergency prevented her from being at the birth but Debra graciously stepped in and helped tremendously through the last long stretch. We also attended Debra's childbirth prep classes which were an amazing preparation for having a physiologic birth. Debra also assisted us with some postpartum care and guided us new parents in the first few weeks while adjusting to the lifechanging experience of having a child.

I would encourage anyone considering this team to support you on your journey alongside your midwives not to hesitate. Their combined knowledge and experience supported and empowered us to have a safe and wonderful birth experience.

Meeting Jen and Debra was the best thing that happened to us during our pregnancy. We worked with Jen as our doula and we attended Debra’s breastfeeding classes and baby prep course.

We learned a lot from them. They have enormous knowledge and amazing experience about pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding and babies. Thanks to them we changed our birthing plan and ended up having a lovely and calm home birth. I went from being a nervous and "hospital ready" mommy-to-be to an  informed and confident mom who knows exactly what she wants to achieve with this amazing life changing experience.

We can't thank them enough for their advice and support to make this decision. Thanks to Debra’s classes we were well informed about what to expect, aware of what my body is capable of and absolutely empowered to give a natural and safe birth. Having Jen with us that day was simply a blessing. She set up the whole place for us, she was by my side during the process and knew exactly what to say and do to make me feel better. I had the most wonderful and positive birthing experience that I could have imagined. And we have no doubts that it was this way thanks to Jen and Debra. 

They are very responsive, always happy to help and answer questions. 

We will highly recommend their services to anyone who is expecting. You’ll be lucky to have them in your team!

We worked closely with Debra Woods of Doulas of Vancouver as our birth doula over the past year, and also took several of her prenatal classes. Debra was consistently sensitive, informative, open-minded, and kind; we honestly can't praise her enough. During the birth process, Debra's presence was absolutely vital for us. She was gentle and understanding of our evolving needs over a long labour. Debra is also one of the best listeners we’ve met; she consistently heard and supported our choices, gently offered a range of options from personal experience when we asked, and gave us extra reasons to smile even in the hardest moments.

The depth of Debra’s decades of hands-on experience also came through in her classes; she could contribute a helpful perspective on almost any question from a personal impression, or from the different choices taken by clients in the past. She’s also informed about many different models of care, and we especially appreciated her ability to empathize with diverse personal histories and experiences—both through the birth and in her classes—and to create an open, warm space for learning. The sincerity of Debra's personal care has also been really clear to us during her postpartum visits.

We feel so much gratitude to Debra, and again, we genuinely can't recommend her highly enough, both as a doula and instructor.
