Renee is a passionate Doula and Registered Social Worker (RSW) with over five years of experience supporting children, families, and individuals through the profound transitions of parenthood. Her approach to birth work is deeply rooted in personalized holistic care that addresses the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of the journey to parenthood. Connection is at the core of her practice as she focuses on building trust, being emotionally present, and genuinely caring for the families she supports.

In her role as a social worker, Renee draws on her experience working with clients facing challenges related to trauma, anxiety, or complex family dynamics. Her practice is grounded in empathy, active listening, and a commitment to ensuring that everyone she works with feels respected and heard.

As a Social Worker and trained full-spectrum doula, Renee is passionate about providing trauma-informed support to individuals who have experienced a traumatic birth or birthing process. Her care centers around creating a safe, compassionate space where survivors feel validated, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. She recognizes the profound impact that birth trauma can have on one's physical, emotional, and psychological well-being, and she strives to offer care that honours each person’s unique story and experience.

Through years of work in wellness support, she has gained a profound understanding of trauma's complexities and its lasting effects, particularly in the context of childbirth. She is committed not only to helping survivors process their experiences but also to educating families, communities, and other professionals about the nuances of birth trauma and the importance of a sensitive, respectful approach to care. By fostering greater awareness and understanding, Renee aims to contribute to a more informed and compassionate culture that recognizes and responds to the needs of birth trauma survivors. If we continue to create awareness and understanding of birth trauma and the effects this trauma can have, we can begin to address these issues even before they arise. At the very least, the awareness spread can create a safe environment for survivors to feel heard and supported through their healing journeys. 

Renee firmly believes every survivor deserves a voice in their healing journey and access to the resources and support they need to thrive. Whether working directly with survivors or advocating within the broader community, she is motivated by a commitment to empowering individuals to reclaim their strength and resilience after challenging birth experiences. 

Renee will be supporting birth trauma survivors as a doula specializing in the area, who are thinking of or have become pregnant with their next child and need someone in the space that truly gets it! Renee will also be working collaboratively with our mult-disciplinary team to deliver trauma-informed and highly innovative groups, workshops and presentations. Stay tuned for all that Renee’s unique role will offer!
