Why a naturopathic doula?

A naturopathic doctor is trained in basic medical sciences and is given specialized training in obstetrics and pediatrics.  Our doulas and lactation consultant are licensed naturopathic doctors and primary health care providers in Ontario.  In conjunction with standard doula practices, we can provide naturopathic treatments such as botanical medicine, acupuncture, homeopathics, nutritional counseling, supplement review and more.

As a government regulated healthcare profession, services provided by a naturopathic birth doula are covered by most extended healthcare plans.
