At The Haven, we believe that every birth deserves a safe, calm, and empowering space. Founded with the vision of supporting parents through one of life’s most transformative experiences, we provide compassionate, personalized doula care tailored to your unique journey. From prenatal education and birth planning to labour support, postpartum guidance, and feeding assistance, our goal is to ensure you feel confident, informed, and nurtured every step of the way. We partner with you and your family, offering evidence-based guidance, hands-on comfort measures, and unwavering emotional support so you can focus on what truly matters: welcoming your baby into a loving, supported environment.
We also understand that every birth journey comes with surprises—emotional highs, unexpected twists, and moments that take you by surprise. That’s why we focus on adaptability, gentle guidance, and creating a safe space where you can navigate whatever comes your way with confidence and calm.
Our approach to birth
At The Haven, we believe birth should feel supported, respected, and calm. Every family’s story is unique, so we meet you where you are—offering guidance, comfort, and reassurance every step of the way.
Our role isn’t to take over, but to stand beside you, helping you feel confident in your choices and cared for throughout your journey. Because every birth deserves a haven.

Founder, Doula, RMT
Hi, I’m Angela, founder of The Haven. As a doula, RMT, and former nursing student, I bring a unique blend of experience, knowledge, and heart to supporting families. While my healthcare background guides my approach, I am passionate about walking alongside parents through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, creating a calm, confident, and nurturing space every step of the way.
Angela is currently only accepting new clients who are doing home births, delivering at a birth centre, or delivering at The Sturgeon Hospital or Miseracordia Hospital at this time.
