Hi, i’m Thalia

I am a mother of a joyful and willful three year old, who constantly mirrors to me where I can grow as a person and mother. My daughter has truly transformed the way I engage with life and has shown me a well of love that was only partially tapped before her arrival.

I am a wife to the gentlest man and father of our kiddo, my dear best friend who has truly witnessed so many versions of me in the 11 years together. We currently reside in the beautiful Cowichan Valley, on a small hobby farm where we garden, raise chickens and chase after a wild toddler and french bull dog.

I am a certified birth and post-partum doula and reiki practitioner. For the last decade I have been working with individuals with disabilities, working as a behavioural interventionist and community support worker. The calling to birth work came naturally and shortly after my daughter was born, but when I deeply connect to when I heard the calling, I know it’s been whispering to me for many years. The first birth that I attended was the birth of my brother. Even in the photos of myself as a three year old, you could see the presence, adoration & resonance of birth.

It has taken me many years to answer this calling to birth but I am beyond grateful for the years spent working with people in the health sector, learning about inclusion, autonomy & advocacy. These are all traits that are deeply impactful in the birth work that I am now so honoured to be doing.

Since the moment I found out about the pregnancy of my daughter, I have been learning all that I can about the physiology of birth, the birth process & this incredibly powerful rite of passage that we as new parents embark on even before the birth of our children. I deeply believe in a birthing person’s ability to birth new life and trust in our innate nature. I believe that everything in pregnancy and birth — including the discomfort — is leading you and preparing you to be the most perfectly designed parent for your child.

As your doula, I will support you in the birth that feels the most in alignment with you and has you feeling 100% empowered and autonomous. It is an absolute honour to witness you in the birth process as the strongest version of yourself.
