Who we are

Professional guidance, personalized support

We offer prenatal education, doula support, postpartum support and individualized care from bump to baby. What sets us apart isn't a slogan. It's our credentials. Every practitioner is a registered Naturopathic Doctor, many are dually licensed as IBCLC lactation consultants, and we bring an evidence-informed, whole-picture approach to every family we work with.

Your journey is unique, so our visits are comprehensive and your care plan is built specifically around your family's needs. And because being pregnant or caring for a newborn is hard enough, we come to you.

Frequently asked questions

What makes YDD different from other doulas?
Every practitioner on our team is a registered Naturopathic Doctor, so you have someone with medical training and a scope of practice well beyond a typical doula, with the warmth and continuity of one-on-one doula care.
Do you come to our home?
Yes. Most of our care is delivered in your home across the GTA. We also offer virtual appointments anywhere in Ontario for prenatal classes, naturopathic appointments and sleep consults.
Are your services covered by insurance?
Our services may be covered under your extended health benefits as naturopathic services. Coverage varies by plan, and we direct bill where possible.
