Our Team

I’ve always known doula work was my calling. All things pregnancy, birth and babies have always fascinated me. I have 4 amazing kids and have been a surrogate for one wonderful couple. I am overjoyed when I support a mom and her partner welcome their baby into the world! I am so honoured to be apart of such an intimate journey of making a beautiful birth story.

Meghan began her journey as a Birth Doula in 2013 with Birth Roots & Dona International. In 2016, following the birth of her youngest daughter, she was guided to deepen her practice and became a certified Childbirth Educator with Lamaze International. Meghan is an advocate of improving maternal wellness during pregnancy, childbirth and beyond. This includes the support of a birthing person and their infant during the fourth trimester, and reducing interventions during childbirth for the best possible outcomes. She believes that the pregnancy and childbirth experience is deeply transformative; when the birthing person feels supported and safe in their most vulnerable moments. These moments of strength and self realization are empowering to the birthing person, which is a huge reason why Meghan loves this work, and is dedicated to this practice.

Along with her work as a Doula and LCCE, Meghan is a Usui/Holy Fire Reiki Master, Shamanic Practitioner, Forest School Practitioner, and Author.

Meghan is honoured and infinitely grateful to support the birthing person, their birth partners, and families as they embark on this transformative journey.

A seasoned Birth & Postpartum Doula, and Child Birth Educator, Ang joined Birth Roots in 2003. In awe of the raw power and strength of a laboring woman, she went on to experience this herself during her own 3 births. Angela is honored to support woman embark on discovering their own inner strength and abilities during pregnancy, birth, postnatal and beyond.

I am passionate about helping birthing people to find their own power as they birth not only their babies, but themselves as parents.

I hired a Doula for my first birth; her presence helped me feel heard, even when things seemed overwhelming.

Following the birth of my youngest child, my care provider suggested I consider becoming a Doula. I attended my first training in early 2003, and have been attending births ever since.

I am a childbirth educator, birth doula and postpartum doula. I received my trainings through Lamaze International and DONA International in 2019. I live outside of Beausejour, MB with my husband and 4 children and provide service to Winnipeg and the eastern interlake region. I found my passion for supporting women during pregnancy, birth and beyond after attending my nieces birth. I am honoured to be a part of your journey.

I began my birth doula journey before the arrival of my first son many years ago. My heart has felt called upon this path after years of infertility and onward to motherhood; to be able to support, advocate, listen to and educate birthing persons and families on their own journeys. There are no words to encompass all a birthing person goes through as their little one is being born earth-side. I cherish each and every one of the families I work with and am honored to be a part of their story.

I am a birth and postpartum doula, as well as a wife and mom of 2 ever-growing boys.

I believe our birth experiences matter, and each one is unique. My goal is to bring a calm, nurturing energy to your space and support and empower you in your birth and journey into parenthood.

As a postpartum doula I am there to allow families the time to rest, heal, nourish their bodies and adjust to life with their newest family member.

It would be a privilege to support you in this beautiful, yet sometimes challenging time.

My first experience with birth was at a very young age; my sister was born in our home when I was 9 and I remember watching the midwife and thinking wow, I want to do this when I grow up. As an adult––after graduating from college––I found my way back to birth work and I now work as a birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator and massage therapist (with a focus in prenatal and postpartum massage). Informed decision making, unbiased support and an evidence based approach are important to me and play a big role in the way I support the families I work with. I am passionate about assisting families through this chapter of their lives with open arms and the belief that they have the power to have the birth experience they want.

I am a mother of three beautiful young adult children who bring me great joy! I believe that raising the next generating is one of the most important jobs we have the privilege of being a part of. The transition to new motherhood isn’t easy for everyone and I want to help mothers ease into this role comfortably as they navigate this new season.

I love to bake, cook, read, take long walks and most of all I savour new life.

My passions in life have always included children. From being a babysitter since before I could babysit, to being a nanny, to being a mom and opening a home-based daycare, I have always enjoyed being involved with children. After opening and running a pharmacy with my husband for over 13 years, I was made aware of how many families, particularly mothers, struggle in the first few months of growing their families. It is an overwhelming time and often, I feel that is overlooked and not openly spoken about. That’s when I knew becoming a postpartum doula was the perfect role for me. I became passionate about spreading the knowledge about how important it is to have support during those times, and feel it is a very rewarding and meaningful career.

As a trained postpartum Doula it is my privilege and honour to serve, support and nurture you as you recover and adjust to new life after birth. I specialize in overnight infant care and feeding support offering you a full nights rest.

I am blessed to be the mother of 8 beautiful children and one amazing grandson. Life truly is a gift!

Hi, my name is Ila. For as long as I can remember; I have had a great love for all things ‘baby’. As soon as I was old enough, I took my babysitting course and started looking after babies. I spent my summers helping a few mothers through the fourth trimester. I graduated high school and became a nanny until I married, and we started our own family. Once our children were in school, I again helped several mothers when I could.

My passion has lead to my career specializing in nights!

The knowledge and expertise I have gained due to my work experience; gives me much to offer a family as they enter this challenging stage of life. I feel I have an innate ability to cope with the varied challenges presented by newborns.. I also have an affinity for new mothers facing the challenges this stage in their life can bring.

I look forward to continuing to do what I love most…Supporting You and your Baby!

Hello and welcome here. My name is Beth, and I am grateful you took the time to visit Birth Roots and read about me. I am a nanny, postpartum doula and a true caregiver at heart.

Throughout my life, I have had the honor of supporting friends and families through the intense and deeply life changing transition of bringing a little one into the world. It is through these experiences that I have seen firsthand how essential support and care from community is for our newborns, parents and families alike.

It is incredibly significant to me to provide a safe, reliable environment for families to rest, heal and bond together. It is during these important seasons of rest that I provide grounded, all-encompassing, nurturing care to them and their precious new additions. I believe in community care for children and their families. I would be honored to be a part of yours.
