Welcome! I’m Krista…
My mission is to ensure every family has the opportunity to experience an empowered birth. Together we’ll prepare for your birth with evidence based information to make informed decisions that align with your values. We’ll address any fears, anxieties or traumas and I’ll be in your corner ready to fiercely advocate for your choices and needs.
Like many other women, being thrown into the world of pregnancy, birth and motherhood was a huge transition. There’s A LOT of information, opinions, advice and it can feel so overwhelming. I’ve heard many women say “ I’m just going to go with the flow” or “ I’ll just do what the doctor tells me” and it made me think - when else in our lives do we hand over that much control for something this important?!?
Our experiences of conceiving, pregnancy, birth and postpartum will impact us for the rest of our lives.
It’s too crucial to leave to chance.
After over 15 years supporting mental health and wellbeing I decided to train as a doula and combine two of my greatest passions -
MENTAL HEALTH & WELLBEING and BIRTH
to offer a unique approach to supporting women.
It would be my privilege to support both your mental health and your birth as a
THERAPIST & DOULA
I offer clinical therapy sessions as a Registered Mental Health Occupational Therapist during pre-conception, pregnancy and parenthood.
I am a certified birth and post-partum doula which means yes, your therapist can be at your birth!
