CO-FOUNDER
So nice to meet you! I’m EeVon, a Naturopathic Doctor, Birth Doula, sleep consultant and co-creator of the Confident Birth Prenatal Program. I like to take a down-to-earth and energetic approach while bringing my medical knowledge and experience to each and every birth and family that I work with.
With a bachelors degree in Biology and Psychology from McMaster University, I graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2003 and started practice that same year. A few years later I became a certified Hypnotherapist to integrate more mind-body approaches into my practice.
Personally, I had 2 amazing home births, using HypnoBirthing techniques. It was because of my own positive birth experiences that I wanted to work in this field – to help other families achieve their own positive births (no matter how that might look!).
Currently, I provide services from “bump to baby”: I teach Confident Birth classes to help pregnant families feel mentally and physically prepared for labour and birth; I provide doula services to parents to help them during a very transformative time in their lives and I help families deal with sleep challenges (from newborn to toddlers). Needless to say, every day is different and I love what I do!
As a senior experienced doula, I play a major role in training and mentoring new doulas and naturopathic doctors to pass forward the knowledge and experiences gained from our collective. Part of your care with me may include the participation of newer doulas shadowing or providing basic services under my guidance.
As a senior doula, Dr. EeVon works as a team with Dr. Dori Skye-Engel ND under a shared on-call model, splitting their on-call time during the month (similar to the midwife on-call model). This means you are under the care of 2 of our well-experienced doulas who may be the one supporting you in labour and birth!
