Welcome Back!

We’ve been on a blogging hiatus for…..well…let’s not talk about that, okay? But we are back and raring to go with new content, a new style, and new services!

Last year, our three owners got together and realized they wanted to take Family Doulas of Ottawa in a new direction. The amazing care, qualified doulas, and non-judgmental support will all stay the same but it was time to expand in new and more inclusive ways.

One of the things we are most excited about include our new services. We are thrilled to be expanding to support your family in new ways, and we hope you will be too! With some new services launching immediately and others rolling out over the next few months, so be sure to keep checking back to see what is happening! Some of these services include a brand new Birth Basics curriculum and manual, sleep coaching support, belly binding, and infant feeding support.

Launching Right Away!

Starting right now you can book private and semi-private Birth Basics classes. This prenatal course is a 3 hour class in the comfort of your own home. This class covers the basics…and then some. From 36 weeks and on there are changes and choices. Your certified childbirth educator will go over all of those choices and the reasoning behind them, to help you made the decisions that works the best for your family.

Sleep Support is also launching right away! With a Certified Sleep Coach to help you develop a plan and our professional doulas there to support you in implementing the plan, you are just a phone call away from a better night’s rest!

Launching Soon!

Coming in March of 2020 our brand new Baby Basics curriculum will be launching to join Birth Basics. As with our birth class, this curriculum is based on the most up-to-date information for all things baby. This class will cover feeding, hygiene, soothing, infant development, and more. This class will be available as a private or semi-private class. It will be 3 hours or combinable with our Birth Basics for a comprehensive and intense 5 hour class.

Coming in March we will be offering custom belly binding. Based on the Malaysian Beng Kung technique, our belly binding services are provided by a trained doula. Using cotton muslin to wrap your belly, this technique is believed to help bring the abdominal walls back together to heal, as well as providing additional core support during the early recovery period.
