He was 3 days old and we were at a critical point as he was jaundice and lost a lot of weight. We reached out to Debby and within 24 hours she was at our house and helped immensely.

I will forever be grateful for the help she provided to us and would highly recommend her to anyone having difficulty with breastfeeding. Debby has also been available via text & phone for any follow up questions we have had. She is absolutely amazing, thank you Debby!!

I didn't even know what a night doula was until I was probably a month or so away from giving…read morebirth. I was so incredibly grateful for Helping Hands and Sharon fitting us into their schedule. As a first time mom new to Toronto I had zero support. I was so grateful for Sharon's care of our daughter and guidance for me as a new mother. She showed me how to use my breast pump, ways to help feed a bottle, burping and baby wrapping methods. She made me feel at ease and helped me get some rest in those early nights. Something I didn't think I could do anything about. I highly highly recommend considering a night doula if it's in your budget. It gave us peace of mind and we would definitely hire again for another child.

We had a WONDERFUL virtual/in person experience with Kristi and Jabir. Due to the pandemic, when we…read morehired them we went for the virtual package pre and post natal. We had a really informative and helpful one on one zoom call about 1.5 months prior to my due date, but they were answering my questions in our group WhatsApp chat from the moment I signed up! They always responded so promptly, and put our minds at ease. I had a c-section scheduled, but went into labour two days before! So Kristi was able to help guide me through the symptoms and contractions and advise us when we should head to the hospital. After we came home, we utilized them a LOT for all our baby questions from sleep patterns, rashes, breastfeeding, anything! We upgraded to have our lactation specialist come into the home and help us - 100% worth it and we still refer back to what we learned with her. Kristi is well versed in breastfeeding techniques, so helped us keep up with things - and when our baby cried straight for two days, was able to advise us over a call that the baby might still be hungry and need top ups, and solved our crying baby! We used our last session for an in person visit with Kristi, so she could meet our baby (lower risk times) and still she helped us with gas issues/ideas to help baby, etc. I cannot recommend this service enough! I'm a first time Mom, and having them in my corner was the best thing I did for myself and my family. Do not hesitate to hire them - even virtually - because they really do go above and beyond and it's a wonderful experience.

Angie is such an amazing doula and a wonderful person! I knew from the beginning that I wanted to…read morehire her because she was very thorough and detail-oriented whenever she responded to my questions. From the first time I reached out to her and throughout my pregnancy and postpartum, she connected me to a ton of resources including Hypnobirthing, which really helped me and my husband immensely in preparation for and during labour. Long story short, I learned so much from Angie and it was because of her that I was able to overcome my pregnancy anxiety and fear of labour! In fact, my husband and I felt so prepared that we switched from a planned hospital birth to a home birth just a month before my due date. If we have a second child in the future, I would hire Angie again in a heartbeat! :)

I truly don't even know where to begin. Angie has been…read morenothing short of amazing during this entire process of my pregnancy . Her knowledge, quick response time, caring/loving nature, made for this first time mom to be so at ease. I immediately felt a connection to Angie and so did my husband from day one.

Angie thank you from the bottom my heart for all your support, before, during and since the birth of my son. Forever grateful

Kensington Midwives were managing my labour over the phone. I filed a complaint and College of…read moreMidwives admitted that their midwife " appears to misunderstand simple physiology". College sent her back to school to study physiology and perinatal asphyxia and fetal health surveillance. She is still practicing . Another midwife , her back up,showed up 3 min before our baby was born. While I was in labor ,another midwife called to check on me , but didn't bother to check on me in person. I don't even mention the outcome because my review is being deleted. Three different Midwives at this clinic are completely unprofessional ,reckless and ignorant. I would never recommend Kensington Midwives to anybody.

I am forever grateful for the care I received from the Kensington midwives!…read more They are all exceptionally outstanding. Everyone I encountered were so knowledgeable, compassionate and reassuring. My appointments were never rushed, I felt that all my questions and concerns were addressed and they gave me such valuable advice. My team was Kay, Safire, Sara and Laura. I also have had a few other midwives attend to me if the other were busy and they were great. I had an unbelievably calm birth at the Toronto Birth Center. They highly recommended me and I was a bit hesitant but I'm soooo thankful I chose the birth Center! The water tub was heaven sent!! I'm left with pleasant memories of the Kensington midwives. Especially of Kay, she left me with amazing words of advice and wisdom that had helped me throughout my journey of motherhood. Much love to all the women at the Kensington midwives!

I am a new mommy and I am so grateful I had the good fortune of hiring Isabel as my doula! My…read morewonderful midwife Lauren at Community Midwifes was who recommended Isabel to me as she had recently worked with her on another birth. Isabel works almost exclusively through word of mouth, but I figured more people deserve to know about this wonderful lady. As you can see in the interview her other doula friend did of her, Isabel has ~35 years of experience working first as a midwife (trained with world-famous midwife Ina May Gaskin, http://inamay.com/), and then as a doula. Reading Isabel's story here: https://heartofbirth.wrodpress.com/2009/02/14/isabel-perez-a-life-in-birth was enough to convince me that I was in good hands, but I can confirm that Isabel has indeed that peaceful and motherly presence I would hope to have from someone supporting me through the intensity of labour. My initial intention was to have a natural water birth at The Birthing Centre but since I passed my due date by two weeks, I needed to be induced at St. Michael's Hospital. Even so, I was still hoping to have a natural (unmedicated) birth. However, with the induction, contractions became unbelievably intense. I'm grateful Isabel was there to apply counter-pressure and teach me how to breathe through every contraction, otherwise I really don't know how I would've survived! After about 45min of excruciating pain, I opted to have an epidural. That took away the pain but also slowed down my labour :/ After about 4 hours, there had been no measurable progress in my labour, and if something hadn't happened soon, I was facing the possibility of a C-section... which is absolutely Not what I wanted! I fully believe it was Isabel's expertise as well as her efforts that saved me from a C-section, and resulted in my having the natural (vaginal) birth that I wanted! It was thanks to her and my midwife using the rebozo on me that my baby finally descended into the proper position for birth. Isabel also used reiki on me to help labour progress. Additionally, her emotional support of me was invaluable, especially at a time where my family members were at wits' ends thinking that my labour was taking too long, and putting pressure on me to have a C-section! I am unbelievably grateful for Isabel for all she did during my labour. I fully recommend Isabel as an amazing support person during labour.

If you're looking for a midwife in the downtown area the midwives here are very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic.
