O Mamma Moon Birth Doula Services

This Childbirth Yantra is an ancient tool used by Indian midwives for healthy birthing experiences. Symbolizing the path of the baby out from the mother’s womb, this labyrinthine image provides a visual focus that calms the mind of the laboring woman, allowing her to access her body's inner wisdom.

Creating a Safe, Sacred Space for your Birth.

Our bodies have the inner wisdom that can guide us through the labyrinth of childbirth. As a doula, I create a safe, sacred space through supporting the mother's physical, emotional and spiritual wellness, combining my Western training in physiotherapy and my practice of the Eastern healing arts of Yoga and Ayurveda. In this space, both parents can listen to their inner wisdom, and the experience becomes an amazing rite of passage (even when medical intervention is required), initiating both mother and father into parenthood.

More details on my birth doula services will be posted soon, but please feel free to email omammamoon@gmail.com or call 613-728-0213.

about o mamma moon

healthy women, healthy families, a healthy planet

A healthy environment begins with healthy individuals in happy families and strong communities. When you invest in your well being, you are investing in your family, your community and your environment.

I aim to keep all of my services accessible while supporting sustainable organic, natural and local practices when possible. Our pillows, bolsters and blankets are made from natural and organic fabrics. Non-toxic biodegradable products keep our space and linens clean. To help us minimize our impact on the earth through laundering, we do ask that you bring your own mats, towels and blankets when possible.

"The Vedic seers teach that a women's shakti - her power, fertility and nurturing spirit - is linked to the lunar cycle and the sacred substance of Mother Moon...The shakti energy provides a broad foundation for healing physical and emotional wounds. Every cell, tissue and memory of a woman's body is permeated with the billions of years of memory and energy from the Divine Mother's shakti. Her milk flows through our breasts and in the fullness of her moon, her nectar courses through our wombs, thus determining the time ovulation. During pregnancy, as our bellies swell with life, we emulate Mother Shakti growing into plumpness, from the sliver of her crescent moon into the roundness of her full moon." - From "The Path of Practice - A Women's Book of Ayurvedic Healing," p.95, Swamini Mayatitananda (formerly Bri. Maya Tiwari).
