How Can I Support You?
West Coast Postpartum Support offers a wide range of services to assist families, tailored to living in our remote West Coast communities. Doula Home Visits provide additional care after birthing out of town, and grant funding is available for Indigenous families. The Parent & Baby Groups offer connection, education and emotional support for parents, while Gift Certificates make the perfect baby shower gift!

Everyone has unique needs during the postpartum period, whether it’s your first baby or you have multiple children. During our initial meeting, we will identify the specific ways I can be of assistance and we will adjust our process as your baby grows and needs change.

Aboriginal Families Grant
I am honoured to be a part of the DAFGP provided by the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres, First Nations Health Authority and the BC Ministry of Health.
This grant provides Free Doula services for up to $1,200 per pregnancy, if either the birthing person or their partner are of Indigenous descent (First Nation status or non-status, Métis, and / or Inuit).
To make the process easy, I assist families in completing the application - contact me for more information.
“I am so grateful for Anne’s parent and baby group, it provides much-needed social time! It has been reassuring as a new parent to connect with others going through the same life events. Anne created a space for us to share our struggles and triumphs, and also learn from experts. As my son has grown, it has been so amazing to see him connect with kids his age and pick up new skills.”
