Sonya is a seasoned labour and postpartum doula, a certified doula instructor, a placenta encapsulation specialist, and certified childbirth educator through CAPPA. She has worked with hundreds of mothers and families, embarking alongside them on their birth journey, for the past 25 years.

Those of us who take on the facilitating doula role also require support and guidance to become the best they can be, for the families they are privileged to serve.

She has attended many midwifery and birth related training classes, seminars and workshops in Canada and the USA.
