About Me

Hi there! My name is Juliet Beckwith (she/her) and I am a certified full spectrum doula servicing the GTA. I offer services for birth, postpartum, abortion and loss as well as sibling doula support. I have training and two years of experience in birth comfort measures, physiology, hypnobirthing as well as a decade of care work, advocacy and conflict resolution. During postpartum, I am trained to support breast/chest-feeding, sleep, newborn care, and physical and emotional recovery. I value informed decision making, bearing witness, and offering tangible, physical assistance. My goal as your doula is to support you to listen to your intuition, trust yourself, and help you advocate for your wishes and decisions. I hope you will leave working with me feeling like someone was truly there for you during a big moment. I believe that your birth and postpartum are steps into becoming an ancestor. To plan for them with care and attention creates stories to pass down for generations. It would be an honour to be a part of your story.  

What I bring to doula work:

• An unbiased view on all pregnancy outcomes ​and pain management choices 
• In depth knowledge of evidence based care for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum 
• A kind, focused, and calm presence
• Comfort working in medical and non medical settings (please note I do not work with free-births) 
• A thorough discussion about your wishes and plans 
• Flexible, dedicated support with your care at the centre 
• Strong listening and communication skills
• A reverence for the spiritual significance of reproductive transitions
• Support for and belief in your self advocacy and intuition

    We might be a good match if: 

• You would feel supported by someone with lived queer experience on your team 
• You are looking for a doula who will not use gendered or fatphobic language about your body or your pregnancy 
• Evidence-based choices are important to (i.e. you would like to learn about benefits and risks of interventions before they occur in order to properly consent). 
• ​Holistic care is important to you
• You would benefit from a cheerleader in your corner during a big moment in your life
