About me
My name is Emilie and I'm mom to two lovely girls, Victoria and Ysée. Perinatal care is my great passion, and I especially love hearing each family's birth story.
In 2020 I earned my certification as a birth companion, with the goal of giving families concrete support on their parenting journey. I'm also a breastfeeding volunteer with the Nourri-Source organization.
My services include prenatal classes at home, group prenatal classes, attendance at the birth, pain-management guidance, breastfeeding support, help at home (relevailles), and advice on baby sleep.

In my prenatal classes, you can expect to gain essential knowledge about pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.
We'll cover a range of topics: the physiology of labour, ways to make birth easier, pain management, the partner's role, newborn care and breastfeeding.
-
I recommend starting prenatal classes around the sixth or seventh month of pregnancy, but do feel free to enquire earlier to reserve your spot.
That gives you plenty of time to prepare calmly for the birth and for parenthood.

The physiology and stages of birth
Medical interventions and why a birth plan matters
Pain management with pharmacological methods
Natural pain-management techniques
Positions to use during labour and birth
What to put in place to make birth easier

I am a Certified naturopath and I provide insurance receipts for all private services.
Reimbursement for prenatal classes depends on your health insurance plan. (Expense category: naturopathy)
Some insurers cover part or all of the cost.
Do check with your insurer for the details of your coverage.
-
My prenatal classes depending on the package you choose, spread over 2 to 8 weeks, with a session roughly every two weeks.
Each session lasts about 2 to 3 hours, which gives us time to cover in detail all the important topics of birth preparation and the postpartum period.
-
Absolutely! My prenatal classes are open to dads-to-be or partners, as well as anyone close to you who wants to be involved in preparing for the birth.
We encourage partners to take part, because on the day, the person giving birth needs informed support.
I always say that prenatal classes are above all for the partner, because on the day of the birth the person giving birth needs to stop thinking.
-
For private prenatal classes, I come to your home with my equipment, and after the session I send you all the material we covered together.
You can prepare your questions ahead of time and wear comfortable clothes so you can practise the birthing positions during the class.
For group prenatal classes, bring something to take notes with and wear comfortable clothes.
-
I offer online prenatal course for anyone who prefers to learn at their own pace from the comfort of home.
The online classes include informative videos, written materials and one-on-one video follow-up sessions so we can talk things through together.
