I had a lovely experience with Your Downtown Doula. After seeing that my midwives were not necessarily taking me seriously, I felt that I would really benefit from having someone present who would advocate for my needs and be the support that I was not getting. Despite hiring them relatively late in my pregnancy (37 wks), they were very gracious with me. Dr. Olivia Chubey (and admin, Kerri-Ann) was incredible. From the very start, she took the time to listen to me-the first person to actually listen to my past birth story and take the time to listen and understand my birth plan. She provided emotional and naturopathic support in times where I needed it the most and ultimately helped me have the birth that I wanted. She also provided me with evidence-based information when I needed to make an important decision about a potential intervention. As a hypnobirthing instructor, she helped me get into the deep relaxation I needed in between contractions. I cannot recommend this group of doulas enough. Thank you for everything, I hope to come back during subsequent pregnancies.

I loved connecting with Olivia to see if we were a suitable match for my fourth pregnancy. I needed someone who was going to a be a strong emotional support person and it was a bonus that she also had the hypnobirthing knowledge. I was going for a VBAMC and did all my research ahead of time and knew the major missing component was a doula to support me. I gave birth this past Saturday and am so happy that Olivia was there to keep me on track with my birth plan and wishes and supported me emotionally throughout the entire challenging process. I would not have been able to have the birth I wanted without her! I would recommend Olivia to anyone for their first or consecutive pregnancies, and wish I would have known about her for my prior pregnancies! Thank you so much Olivia, you are truly an amazing doula!!!

Having a doula at our birth was one of the best decisions we could have made. Olivia was an amazing support before, during and after the birth and we couldn't have done it without her. Before the birth, Olivia taught us a lot about birth/labour and was extremely responsive whenever we had a question. We knew she would always get back to us with great information and she was our first resource whenever we felt anxious. During the birth, Olivia was our rock. She was an amazing physical and emotional support through a long labour for both me and my partner. She was encouraging, knowledgeable and stayed with us all the way through. She was also an invaluable support for our family member who was anxiously waiting in the hospital. After the birth, Olivia and Sarah came to our home and gave us great information about breastfeeding, recovery and more emotional support as we learned how to care for our little guy. We think doulas are integral to birth based on our experience and loved working with Olivia. We were also able to get the doula services covered under naturopathic services under our benefits.

After ending up having a c-section with my first baby, I was determined to have a non-intervention birth with my second child. I connected with Olivia because of her hypnobirthing experience and I’m so glad that I did. Having midwives this time around was great, but I don’t think I could have had the unmedicated, natural birth at the Toronto Birth Centre like I planned without Olivia’s guidance and support, both physically and mentally! She was truly amazing, and just such a sweet person in general. I’m not planning to have anymore children, but I will be highly recommending Olivia to anybody that is! And because she’s a Naturopath, I was able to cover the fees through my healthcare benefits!

I was fortunate enough to have Sarah as my doula for the birth of my first baby. She was an incredibly calming and reassuring presence throughout the whole process, wonderfully supportive without ever feeling overbearing. I am so thankful that Sarah was a part of my birth experience - I don't know what we would have done without her!!

Olivia was our Doula and she was amazing. I wanted a natural birth without any pain medication and if it wasn't for Olivia's support I wouldn't have been able to do it. Olivia provided emotional support and physical by pressing on all the right pressure points. The medical crew at Sunnybrook was impressed with her professionalism. She worked very well with our nurse and ensured to involve my husband in the process. She will be our first choice with our second baby, when the time comes. Highly recommended!!!
