Labour Doula Support
Nurturing Care, Personalized Guidance, & Unwavering Presence
At Full Circle, we believe every birthing experience is unique and deserves respectful, nurturing care. Our labour doulas are here to support you (& your partner) as you prepare from the earliest signs of labour to those unforgettable first moments with your baby or surrogacy journey. Whether this is your first birth or you’re adding to a growing family, our goal is to ensure you feel seen, heard, & empowered at every turn.
What We Provide
Physical Comfort & Pain Management
Our doulas use evidence-based comfort measures—such as massage, positioning, and breathing techniques—to help you navigate your birthing journey, support your team and reduce discomfort.
Emotional & Mental Support
From reassurance in the birth space to helping partners feel confident in their role, we provide continuous emotional guidance and calm encouragement.
Advocacy & Communication
We help you understand your options, communicate your preferences, and work collaboratively with your healthcare team—so your voice and choices remain at the forefront.
Expert Preparation & Planning
We’ll meet with you before labour to discuss your birth preferences, clarify questions, and ensure you have all the information you need for a safe, positive experience.
