What is a Doula?
As a doula, I am a trained, non-medical professional who provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support to you before, during, and after the birthday! I will help you feel informed, empowered, and supported by offering reassurance, comfort measures, evidence-based information, and advocacy that aligns with your preferences. While I don’t perform clinical tasks or replace medical providers, I will work for you alongside your care team to support your overall experience, well-being, and sense of empowerment throughout your journey into parenthood!
More about me!
Hi, my name is Rebecca, The Honey Bee Doula! I decided I wanted to go into birth work in high school, I knew I had a passion for reproductive health and wanted to work somewhere in the birth world. As I explored my options I learned about doula work and knew right away it was what I wanted to do. I enrolled in Pacific Rim’s holistic doula certificate program and loved every bit of my training! I feel incredibly honoured every time I am invited into the birth space to empower, support, educate and bring peace to such an important moment. I love getting to support every type of birth whether it be in the comfort of your own home, in the hospital, with an epidural or in the OR I am there cheering you on and holding space for every emotion.
Birth is a rite of passage of women. Their journey should be honoured, their rights should be fiercely protected, and their stories should be shared. - Marcie Macari
A bit about my training!
In 2025 I decided to jump in and enroll in Pacific Rim’s holistic doula certificate program. Throughout my training I fell in love with the world of doula work and knew that it was what I had wanted for so long. In my course I had the opportunity to learn from many experienced doulas, Midwives, and birth workers in between. I got invaluable hands-on training including anatomy and physiology of pregnancy, birth and postpartum, feeding support, herbal medicine and nutrition support. My experience training at Pacific rim truly prepared me for doula work and left me with so many incredible relationships.
