Top Pregnancy care centers in Montreal, Canada

We had a great experience with Motherwit, including the prenatal classes and the doulas!

On the prenatal classes Lesley gave a professional detailed presentation about everything that you should know from pregnancy to postpartum, which was super useful! The classes were interactive and you could ask anything during each class.

We also had the privilege to have Iliana as our doula support.
Iliana went above and beyond helping us with everything. She is very kind, checking on us regularly along the pregnancy and how we are doing.
She took extra care to visit us before and after delivery to make sure we are all prepared!
During my c-section her presence was invaluable, giving me encouragement and strength.

I can highly recommend Motherwit and Iliana, and thank you for making my pregnancy a beautiful experience.

MotherWit has been an absolute blessing for our journey. Their unwavering support, personalized to meet our specific needs, guided us seamlessly through the entire process of bringing a new life into the world.

Our introduction to MotherWit's team of Doulas was effortless, thanks to their insightful free online live events. After connecting with 4 or 5 Doulas, it became clear to us that Iliana was the perfect match for our unique journey.

Iliana, our chosen Doula, brought a level of expertise and care that exceeded our expectations, making our experience with MotherWit truly exceptional.

We hope to be able to get Iliana and MotherWit support in our next birth too :)

Could not recommend enough this amazing organization.

Hiring Heather as a birth doula was the best choice I made during my pregnancy. She really helped me feel prepared and confront my worries surrounding birth. As my due date approached, I appreciated that she proactively arranged coverage with another doula for a rare day that she would be unavailable. When I went into labor, she came to our home as soon as we called and stayed with me until it was time for me to go to the nursery to see my baby. I felt so much more supported and confident having Heather in the room than I would have felt without her.

My husband and I found the birth essentials course informative and helpful. We learned so much about what is to come and how to prepare. I am going to birth at the birthing center but I liked how Lesley explained what to expect at the birthing center and at the hospital, so we can be prepared for either scenario.

Our decision to have a doula at birth was a last minute one, but the best one! Iliana was so caring, calming and helpful from the moment we met her. She quickly understood our needs and provided guidance and reassurance. When it came to my labour and delivery, Iliana made such a significant difference with her calming presence, her suggestions for positioning, pain management etc. She was amazing and we are so grateful she was our doula!

We're grateful for Motherwit and Stephanie, our exceptional doula, who played an indispensable role in our journey from pregnancy to postpartum.

Stephanie's warm and compassionate nature immediately put us at ease, creating a sense of comfort and understanding. Throughout pregnancy, she ensured we were well-informed and prepared for childbirth, providing evidence-based resources for better decision-making.

In the postpartum period, Stephanie expertly taught us breastfeeding techniques, making it more comfortable and enjoyable. Her guidance on baby carriers and pumping basics simplified our lives and enhanced our bonding with our newborn.

Stephanie was not only a knowledgeable guide but also a trusted friend. She offered emotional support as we navigated the rollercoaster of parenthood. Her practical help, such as walks with out baby and cooking for us was a bonus.

Iliana was a great help throughout my birthing experience!
I was so stressed throughout my pregnancy and so worried about labor!
Iliana was so professional, caring, supportive and simply just awesome!! She was honestly an extremely great listener despite my anxiety, She made my birthing experience 100 times better, and I don’t think I could have done it without her help :)!

Absolutely loved taking the prenatal course with Lesley a month prior to the birth of our first child. She gave me so much critical information about birth and then post partum stages of pregnancy. She brings so much experience and knowledge of the different factors that can impact one’s pregnancy journey and how to cope/handle them. I would highly recommend this course if you to anyone!!

We are so incredibly grateful to have had Steph DeSousa as our Doula throughout my pregnancy and my post partum period. Her breastfeeding expertise and support made a world of difference in helping me reach my goals. Steph was not only very professional but also so friendly and warm: seeing her walk through our front door for every post partum visit was like a warm hug and instant comfort as we knew each time we would be in the best of hands. Both my husband and I could not have imagined going through our birthing and parenting journey without Motherwit, and especially without Stephanie ! Highly recommend

What an amazing experience to have Mikka present during our baby’s birth , the care and love and tools she has provided before , during and after baby’s arrival has been something we have cherished and apreciated and in all honesty couldn’t of done without ❤️

Fantastic class! Mika is someone who is very calm, open, and engaging. She's very good at speaking to mothers all while including the birth partners. You can really tell she loves what she does.

What an incredible and empowering journey it has been following Mika’s hypnobirthing classes and being assisted by her throughout this second pregnancy! The power of hypnobirthing classes, and the required involvement and preparation from yourself and your partner, truly helped me prepare for that second birth and to be able to deliver my little boy naturally, in confidence, while welcoming every stages of the journey with joyce, positivity and hope as opposed to fear and apprehensions. Mika was available to answer my zillion questions with patience and insight both before and after birth (hello 4th trimester). But mostly, her presence during the big day, her calmness, knowledge, right actions and right words at the right time, and accompanying were just perfect, Her soothing voice and wisdom helped me do the most beautiful yet the most difficult thing in confidence. After delivery, I spontaneously called Mika my fairy godmother- she is a gifted doula I recommend her with no hesitation!

***Mika has the most soothing voice that I have ever heard and I have experienced tons of different guided types of relaxation!***

I had the great privilege to attend Mika’s hypnobirthing classes before the birth of my first baby. My motivation to sign up for these classes was to address my fears towards my upcoming labor and the birth of my baby. Mika’s teaching definitely allowed me to reach my goal as I was able to face it all feeling confident and empowered after taking her classes. I enjoyed Mika’s teaching so much that I even decided to hire her as a birth and postpartum doula afterwards!

Mika is a wonderful Hypnobirthing teacher. I learned so many valuable things that transformed my understanding and experience of childbirth to go on to have my dream home birth with her as my doula. I highly recommend hypnobirthing and Mika as a guide for anything related to birth.

Mika’s HypnoBirthing class is excellent. The coursework, combined with Mika’s know-how, helped us manage our fear and foster a feeling of calm and confidence going into the birth. As a doula, Mika also supported us through the birth of our daughter. Her expertise, open-mindedness and wholehearted approach enabled us to make informed choices, aligned with our wishes and values. We are forever grateful to have had Mika by our side, helping us prepare, and guiding us through birth and into the postpartum period. I highly recommend the course and her doula services!

I am eternally grateful to Jenny for being my birth doula. Jenny was amazing, informative, and always gave positive words of affirmation. I was new to the Montreal healthcare system and Jenny always took the time to answer all my questions and was a calming presence. Thank you so much Jenny for your kindness, patience, and warmth!

Mika has so much knowledge. She will guide you and help you make choices that are right for you, without ever putting any pressure. It was so nice to have her to answer my questions throughout pregnancy. Hypnobirthing gave me confidence in my body and helped me put my fears aside to birth naturally. I hired Mika as my doula and it was a great decision as her guidance allowed me to have the birth that I wished for.

Val is just an awesome person and doula. Due to the pandemic, we unfortunately didn’t have her by our sides at the hospital but she took a 3am phone call from me and showed up at our home at 5am to confirm that, in fact, “your wife’s in active labour, bro.”

We we’re off and she was always just a phone call or text message away, checking in periodically with me as though with us and on call just the same.

Throughout our consultations, she provided me with the guidance and the knowledge to be the best birth partner I could be for my wife. She took a very intense and complex subject, and reduced it down to its essentials in a way that resonated with me. She provided me with the resources and the on-demand support I needed to be able to confidently lead the day with assertiveness and calm.

With as little as us dudes can do in these situations, I was able to have a positive impact on my wife’s experience. She knew she could count on me, she was able to lean on me, and I know she is thankful for it.

I highly recommend Val’s services, especially for men who truly want to be present and contribute to their partner’s birthing experience. And beyond her professional guidance and support, you will make a badass new friend.

I am a highly anxious person when it comes to all things medical and the thought of giving birth utterly terrified me. I knew I wanted a doula to support me throughout my journey and I am so happy that I chose Valerie. She is so kind, patient, warm, and empathetic. From the get-go, I felt like she understood me, and she tailored her approach to my needs and my fears. It’s like having a trusted friend who is super knowledgeable about all things pregnancy and birth by your side. She empowered us to make the right choices for us instead of blindly accepting whatever was thrown our way (like being bullied into an induction @ 41 weeks despite all test results coming back perfect). Unfortunately, we were not allowed to have her with us during the birth of our daughter due to Covid, which we knew would be the case, but she prepared my husband to be an A+ birthing partner. I felt confident going into my birth despite the restrictions. Thank you Valerie! We love you!

We just had our baby and Heather was an amazing support for the both of us. She helped us navigate through the hospital experience and provided amazing support and calm during the birth. The prenatal classes were a goldmine of information but my biggest take out of all this was learning how to be a better support for my wife during the pregnancy and the birth. Thanks again!

I reached out to Jenny at the tail end of my pregnancy. Luckily she was available, and we begun to get to know one another through a few preparatory calls and texts. I also met her partner Heather. It’s been two days since I’ve delivered and am now fully convinced that not only should every woman be required to have a doulas support- they should have Jenny. Being highly sensitive (both her and myself) she anticipated every single need I had from start to finish without ever having to voice it. Her presence is calm, grounding, reassuring, yet also firm at the perfect times. I simply would not have had as positive an experience had she not been there. She provides incredible physical relief, and really empowers you to listen to your own body as all the decisions of bringing a child into the world come up. Do not hesitate in reaching out to her, you will be deeply glad that you did.

Having Valerie with us on this journey made a huge difference. Being able to check in with her and get her opinion and advice gave us a lot of confidence to consider next steps to take. We were hoping to labour at home with her, but our little one had different plans and we had to induce. Sadly we couldn't have Valerie in hospital due to Covid, but she was just a phone call away and it was great to have that support througout labour. Her care after our little one was born was wonderful and such a big help, especially now that visits from family are so difficult.

Valérie is an Angel sent from heaven. She made every step of my pregnancy and my 49 hour long labor a breeze. I don't know how I would have done without her. I am looking forward for baby number 2 with her. I always recommend her when I hear one of my friends are pregnant.

Pregnancy and labor is hard and stressful enough as it is. Please do yourself a favor and give her a call. Doulas are truly a blessing.

Our experience with Valerie was wonderful. She was our doula when COVID-19 lockdown started, I was in a very vulnerable position and she always found a way to support us. She is extremely caring, supporting and intuitive for birth preparation, post-partum and breastfeeding. It made all the difference to know that we could rely on Valerie, being away from our family and having to deal with the uncertainties of the pandemic. I was so lucky to find her and I can not thank her enough for being there for me when I needed it the most. We highly recommend her, thank you so much Valerie !

I am so grateful I was able to have a capable and loving doula at my birth and before and afters. She truly made me feel like every decision was mine to make, and that no one could take this life changing experience away from me. Every step of the way she was supportive in what I wanted to do,heronlygoal was to make sure I felt safe and that I was always informed. At the birth, she was a savior to my husband and me when he became tired and emotional. She knew what to do and was prepared for best and worst.
Valerie will be apart of my birth story forever, I am eternally grateful for her services. 💓 Something I didn't know I needed until I needed it 💜

Valerie is an intuitive and deeply caring doula - she has a true calling to be with mom's and families during such precious and vulnerable times. My second daughter was born several years after my first and getting back into the right frame of mind was essential.
Val helped in several ways: from setting up a space at home, prepping to birthing in a new environment and knowing my rights. She helped me through some breastfeeding issues and held sacred space for me after the labor to help me heal both mentally and directed me to people who could help with other post partum issues.
Additionally, Val introduced me to the world of batch cooking and "feeding the freezer" - we cooked together to ensure we'd spend less time cooking and more time snuggling and resting. This time was both fun, informative and a time-saver! A true professional with a deep love for her craft -- having her as a doula is a true gift.

Valerie is an incredible doula. She takes the time to listen and accommodates your birth plan. She is caring, zen and passionate. A+ I cannot wait to work with her again!

Jenny accompanied me at the hospital for the birth of my first child. She was calm and reassuring. Exactly what I needed. We met twice before and texted a lot after my baby's birth. I am quite the anxious person and needed exactly this type of person to help me through this MAJOR life event. THANK YOU !
Thank you as well to heather for the post-partum care (and the muffins :p) You are so understanding and sweet.
Would recommend to any friend and will surely book them again if I have the joy of having a second baby !

When I found out I was pregnant, I started researching doulas and after looking at a number of different profiles, I just couldn’t read any more after reading about Two Doulas. So we made a date to meet up and talk about what we were looking for. During our first meeting we had so much fun that I was absolutely confident that we had found the right team. Jenny & Lee are a great pair and they compliment each other so very well. My husband and I wanted to learn as much as we could about the whole process so we signed up for their prenatal classes as well as their pre- and post-natal visits (The Whole Package). We really appreciated their approach to teaching and the experience that they have in being able to answer our questions. Whenever I had and still have questions, they are always there for me with helpful advice and answers. When I went into labour, Jenny was there for us at every step of the way and was always encouraging me to ask questions and to help us feel confident that we were doing things that felt right for us. With her help and encouragement we were able to have a super positive experience and natural labour. When we came home with our beautiful baby we felt confident and reassured that we had all the support we needed to look after this tiny new person in our lives. It was so comforting for me knowing that Jenny or Lee was coming to visit. Even after our last meeting they are so encouraging to keep in touch or ask them questions. They have been such an important part of this experience for us. I couldn’t imagine doing it any other way.

Working with Jenny and Lee was truly an outstanding experience, especially as first time parents. Both Jenny and Lee have a tremendous amount of knowledge regarding pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum recovery. Everything about being pregnant and recovering from childbirth felt less scary because they really made us feel like they had our backs. I knew I could text or call either one of them regardless of the time of day and would receive a tremendous amount of support with zero judgement. Throughout my labor and delivery, Jenny was amazing to both myself and my fiancé and my postpartum recovery was a breeze thanks to Lee! My fiancé and I definitely recommend Two Doulas to anyone who is considering having this added support. You will not regret it! Thanks Jenny and Lee! We will see you with our second baby!

Jenny and Lee are both amazing! This was our first birth and having them available, both in person and over text and phone, was a huge support for me and my partner. They are both incredibly knowledgable and experienced which made us feel well-informed and confident in our new adventure as parents. They both work in a holistic way that helped me overcome some of my prenatal and postpartum anxiety, as feel supported emotionally, mentally, and physically. They work in a non-judgemental way which made us feel comfortable to make our own choices throughout the process, including how we chose to labour as well as feed and sleep after the birth. I highly recommend their services for anyone who feels they need an advocate during the birth and supports before and after.
