Edmonton's Baby BOOM!

Edmonton is booming. Housing prices are through the roof. "Help wanted" ads front nearly every business. There are a lot of people in this city ..... so of course there's a LOT of babies on the way. With a shortage of staff and a surplus of patients, it's not surprising that Edmonton women are increasingly less satisfied with the care they are receiving at Edmonton hospitals during childbirth. Check out this recent CBC news story
"One of the nurses said that the level of education that they're able to give people isn't the same anymore, and they're basically just checking vital signs and just hoping that everything goes well."
All the more reason to hire a doula for your birth. You will need a doula to rub your back, help you to the bathroom, find you an extra blanket, bring you ice chips, and ensure a satisfying birth. Every couple deserves a doula who will happily give her time providing education.

I am looking forward to all the couples I will be able to support towards a joyous birth.

Doula business will be booming too!
