♥ Big Sister Doula ♥

The wedding planner of your birthing experience

big sister genko leaves

     I have grown-up all-over Canada. Quite literally. I was born in Vancouver, and have been all the way to Newfoundland and everywhere in between. Now, I have found my forever home here in Toronto. I even found a neighbourhood to settle into. Leslieville. Couldn't have been happier with this choice.

     I decided to pursue massage as a career at Sutherland-Chan College of Massage Therapy. There I was able to learn the skills to treat musculoskeletal needs with Swedish massage, deep tissue, hydrotherapy, therapeutic exercises, postural assessments, joint mobilizations, fascial work, and self-care. This has allowed me to help a wide variety of clients on their journey to living their best life.

 With massage I can help you with achieve relaxation in your mind and body, reduce stress, reduce pain, rehabilitate an old or new injury, get to the root cause of your issue and more.

Dedicated Birthing and Postpartum Services

I’m a caring and dedicated certifying doula, here to offer holistic support and guidance to expectant parents during this incredibly transformative time in their lives. I deeply understand the physical, emotional, and educational needs of my clients, and have become a trusted partner in the birthing community.

I’m based in the East End of Toronto and focus my services there. My journey into the world of doula services began when my sister had her first child. Although I don’t have children of my own, being with my sister during her birthing experience made me realize my calling. I was meant to be a big sister—to offer support and help others along their way in life. I want to be there for you and assist in any way I can.

I offer a wide range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each family I work with. My offerings include:

Prenatal Support

I provide personalized education and resources to help parents prepare for childbirth, including birth planning and relaxation techniques.

Labour and Birth Support

I am a steadfast presence during labor, offering physical comfort measures, emotional reassurance, and advocacy to ensure my clients' birth preferences are respected.

Postpartum Care

I assist new families with the transition to parenthood, providing guidance on newborn care, breastfeeding support, and emotional well-being.

Pregnancy Massage

I am a registered massage therapist that has years of treating pregnant clients.

This is an link that will take you to information and evidence about having a Doula with you during your birthing experience.

My approach and phylosophy

My approach is all about empowering you through informed decision-making and continuous support. I believe in creating a nurturing and non-judgmental space where parents feel confident and supported every step of the way. With my empathetic nature and evidence-based practices, I ensure each family receives personalized and respectful care.

I deeply believe that childbirth is a natural and powerful process, capable of being a deeply transformative experience. I strive to honor each family's unique journey and am dedicated to providing the support needed to make childbirth a positive and memorable experience.
