Jill supports clients choosing to birth with any type of care provider at Lions Gate, Burnaby,
and BC Womens hospitals, as well as at home.
People birth best when they feel they are in a safe and supportive environment.
Jill offers information and support to families in all birthing situations, whether it is a
scheduled c-section, induction, medicated birth, or without intervention.
It is her goal that you will feel heard and respected by your chosen care team in all circumstances and situations.
When you hire Jill as your doula, you will receive the following services:
• A free initial interview with no obligation (done virtually)
• Unlimited in-home prenatal visits throughout your pregnancy
to get to know you well and offer prenatal and infant care education, plan for baby gear and a safe home for your little one,
assist in car seat installation, discuss newborn feeding plans, prepare for life with a newborn,
and any other prenatal support topics you wish to discuss. Most clients see Jill around 5-6 times before the baby is born,
typically on a monthly basis (but this can vary based on when you hire).
• Unlimited phone/email support
• Use of an Elle TENS machine
• On call 24/7 (or able to supply reliable, experienced back-up)
from the point of hiring until the birth of your baby
On the day of the birth, Jill provides physical, emotional, and educational support
in all settings throughout your labour and birth process.
• 2 postpartum visits in your home as desired in the first two weeks
to talk about the birth, ask questions about newborn care, parenting,
emotions, or receive assistance with feeding, sleep, bathing – whatever your needs are!
• A later postpartum visit to talk about starting solid food, baby proofing, and moving up to the next level car seat
• An in-home infant CPR and choking lesson
for you and family members, friends,
or care givers (up to 10 people) taught by Jill
through Safe Beginnings First Aid
• Use of a birth pool and accessories
(including set-up and take down!)
if desired and the situation is appropriate
Had a baby before and want fewer prenatal visits? Hiring later in pregnancy?
All but one prenatal visit and the baby-proofing visit can be swapped out for 20 hours of postpartum support instead, if preferred.

(clients who have had Jill, Judy, Dori, Melissa, Marlo, Paula, or any of Jill’s mentored doulas as their doula for previous pregnancies).
Jill limits her clients to two per calendar month (exceptions made for repeat clients)
to allow plenty of one to one attention and relationship building with her clients.
