We are looking for 2 naturopathic students interested in perinatal care to be back up doulas for our primary care team. Back up shifts are on a set schedule, but the schedule is flexible. Our primary doulas will let you know when they are not available and you would take over care during those times. You may also be called if 2 clients go into labour at the same time. The role would require:
- Meet and greets with doula clients
- Engaging in on-call care- text or call support, when a primary doula is unavailable
- Attending and supporting clients through their birth- either in part or it's entirety for up to 24 hours
- Ability to travel to meet clients at their homes or hospital
Compensation is based on births attended.
Why work with us?
YDD makes our team a priority. We provide monthly trainings as well as on going individual mentorship. Students coming into our team are provided with additional mentorship and training as needed so that you feel completely confident providing care. Our leadership team also ensures space for debriefing and follow up after births. Any hours spent with patients or working on patient care can be used towards preceptor hours.

About YDD
YDD is a collective of Naturopathic Doctors who provide expect care in doula support, perinatal services and education throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
We firmly believe that everyone deserves a positive pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum experience. We currently provide services in person in the GTA as well as virtually throughout Ontario. Below you can find out more about our core values:
Client experience above all
First and foremost we want our clients to have a positive experience when working with us. We want to make our clients feel cared for, nurtured, wanted, validated and valued during their pregnancy, birth and postpartum. This means putting the client experience above everything else in our business, including profit.
So often we hear families saying that they didn’t feel heard by their OB or nurse during their birth, or that they didn’t feel like they had any control over their birth experience. We are the ones who listen and understand our clients goals and values and we internalize them so that in the moment we can help them achieve the experience they hope for and deserve.
We acknowledge that we have big impact
Birth is a huge and life altering experience for families. We are aware of how sensitive our work is and that we are meeting clients at a time of high vulnerability. To that end, we strive to always be inclusive and trauma informed. We educate our clients, because families with knowledge make the most informed and empowered choices. And we stand up for our clients goals and values when they are most vulnerable.
Passion, Fire, Awe
Pregnancy, birth and postpartum are amazing. The physiology, hormonal shifts, innate instincts in our clients are incredible. We are knowledge hungry and take the initiative to learn more about our field and our clients. We also know that our enthusiasm is infectious and our confidence will help our clients reach their full potential as parents.
Professional and Down to Earth
Our relationships are much more intimate than typical naturopathic relationships. We strive to be transparent with our clients and with each other, to set clear expectations and boundaries so there are no surprises. While we are experts in our field, we are not experts on our clients bodies or needs, we hold their innate expertise in the highest regard and we leave our ego out of all experiences. We hold our clients values and needs free from judgement.
