Ashley Wright, Ashley Wright Doula Services
Hi, I'm Ashley! I am a mother of 3 wonderful boys and I live on a small hobby farm in Colchester. My passion for all things birth came after the birth of my third son. It was innate, powerful, primal... It was beautiful! It was also a stark difference between my first two births which were marked by fear, pain and uncertainty. This lit a fire in me. Every woman has the right to a nurturing and empowering birth.
The way you birth matters!
My approach can best be described as ancestral feminine wisdom meets modern medicine. I'll help you connect to your innate power; your feminine wisdom while providing modern evidence based information.
Prenatally, we will explore birthing preferences, comfort measures/pain management, laboring and birthing positions and more.
During labor and delivery, I will give continuous physical, emotional and informational support to you and your birth partner. I will also help your birth partner to feel confident in giving you the support you need.
Postnatally, I offer one home visit, offering support in newborn care, breastfeeding and postpartum adjustment.
If this is something you are interested in, please reach out. I would be honored to support you!

Kelsey Marr, Collective Care
Please note: I’m currently on parental leave and not taking clients until late 2026.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed, uncertain, or scared about pregnancy and birth? I help pregnant people and couples feel informed, confident, and supported throughout their birth journey. I’ve been a birth researcher for 15 years, and my approach is grounded in clear communication and sharing birth research to help you build confidence in your own decisions.
Whether I’m offering hands-on support during labour, helping your partner feel more prepared, or guiding you through postpartum recovery, my goal is always the same: to make sure you feel seen, heard, and truly cared for. I’m especially passionate about helping people navigate the overwhelming amount of information (and misinformation!) out there—so you can trust yourself and your choices.
Although I’m not currently attending births or offering coaching while on leave, I look forward to supporting clients again in late 2026. If you're looking for a calm, knowledgeable presence in your corner when the time comes, I’d love to connect.

Hello! I’m Kirstie, a proud mama to two daughters, and Elmsdale is where I call home.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by pregnancy, motherhood, and babies. My journey to becoming a doula began with the support I received from my own doula. My passion is in creating a safe, supportive space - physically, emotionally, and mentally - where birthing people can advocate for the birth experience they envision and where postpartum families can find their footing in parenthood.
As a cisgender, straight white woman, I recognize my privilege and am committed to being a strong ally to marginalized communities. No matter who you are or how you identify, I would be honoured weto support you through your pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum journey.

Laura Marino—Doula
Hi! I'm Laura Marino, a birth and postpartum doula who supports families through pregnancy, birth, and the early days at home. I believe you deserve clear and accurate information, steady support, and a calm, respectful environment while welcoming your baby. My role is to hold space for you and your partner, help you feel prepared, support you in advocating for your needs, and provide practical and emotional guidance as your needs change. During birth, I offer a steady presence, comfort measures and tailored guidance so you feel grounded, informed, and supported. I also support partners by helping them feel confident and involved throughout the entire experience. In the postpartum period, I help with the transition home, whether that means answering your questions, offering hands-on support, or creating a quieter, more manageable space for you to rest and bond with your baby. It’s important to me that you feel supported in a way that reflects your values and choices, and I’m honoured to walk alongside you and your family during this meaningful time.

Tyana Randall, Your Perinatal Pal
I am pursuing my passion of supporting folks through their prenatal, birth and postpartum stages of life. Having had twins and being the president of the Parents of Multiple Births Association (POMBA) has inspired me to focus most of my business on parents of multiples who seem to have to think about a few more strategies to survive the 4th trimester than what singleton parents do. I have a wealth of knowledge about everything prenatal which also means that I do not limit my services to multiples. I pride myself on offering a tailored experience based on your own needs by offering you a chance to make the best informed decision that fits your preferences. Being based out of East Hants, I offer support locally or in neighbouring areas of Halifax or Truro.

Wanda Cox, Graceful Beginnings Birth Services
Your birth and postpartum period is so important. How you navigate through it can have such a great impact on you, and your family. You deserve to be; listened to, centered in decision making, and supported both emotionally and physically in a way that makes sense to YOU. While birth can be unpredictable, the presence of this care should be consistent. I’d love to help you with that! A little about me: I’ve been a doula since 1999. While the families I serve remain my greatest source of learning, I’m always exploring new ways to serve my clients. In addition to being a Certified Birth and Postpartum doula, I teach high-quality Evidence-Based Birth® childbirth classes, I am a Certified Lactation Educator (CAPPA), Certified Infant Massage Instructor (IAIM) and a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Instructor (LCCE). I also train Birth Doulas and train Infant Massage Instructors as well! Explore my website for more information on my offerings. I’m looking forward to exploring how we might work together!
