She had never thought much about birth until everyone around her started getting pregnant, and a dear friend invited her to be present at their birth. That day changed everything for Suzi, introducing her to what a beautiful, peaceful, transformative experience birth could be. With a background in International Development and a love of living internationally, in 2013 Suzi moved with her young family to Cambodia. After two wonderful births of her own, she knew that she wanted to work with other people experiencing pregnancy and birth. After reading everything she could about birth, her dream of working with families came true. Her work started in Phnom Penh, where she provided emotional and educational support to expecting families and attended several births. Having returned to North Vancouver in 2018, Suzi completed the Wise Women Way of Birth doula training. This experience gave Suzi more tools, a great community of birth workers, and a renewed passion for seeing all families have access to compassionate, informed, holistic support during pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood. Since then, Suzi has been working locally as both a birth and postpartum doula, supporting over two hundred families across the Lower Mainland. Suzi is pleased to offer services in both English and French.

In her younger years, Donya found herself living between two very different worlds. She was working nights as a bartender, while teaching yoga during the day, specifically supporting women who had experienced abuse. At the same time, she was studying psychology and searching for a path that felt more aligned with her values, her spirit, and the person she was becoming. Working with women who had experienced abuse, as well as cancer patients, deeply shaped Donya’s understanding of healing, vulnerability, and the human spirit. These experiences showed her how much she wanted to dedicate her life to supporting women and families through some of their most vulnerable and transformative moments. Then, one day at the bar, a fellow bartender suggested that she would make a wonderful doula. Something about that suggestion resonated with Donya. She began researching birth work, and before long, she knew she had found the path she had been looking for. Donya pursued doula training and left her job at the bar to fully dedicate herself to this new calling. Donya also knew she wanted to learn beyond the classroom and the certificate. She wanted guidance, wisdom, and the opportunity to grow through real experiences. She was fortunate to find a mentor, Jill Colpitts , who supported her throughout her first year of birth work. Having Jill’s guidance as she navigated those early births gave Donya a foundation from which to grow, learn, and develop trust in her own approach. Eventually, Donya began working independently as a doula, building her own practice and continuing to deepen her understanding of birth, healing, and the importance of compassionate presence. Looking back, she can see how every part of her journey brought her here. Yoga taught her the power of breath and presence. Psychology helped her understand the complexity of the human experience. Working with women taught her the importance of creating spaces where people can feel safe enough to reconnect with themselves. And birth became the place where these parts of Donya could come together.
