My name is Rachelle Cameron
I am a Birth Doula, Body Ready Method Pro, and a mother of four amazing kids. I have a passion for all things birth and I love helping women navigate through pregnancy and birth and into their postpartum period. I know what it's like to feel afraid and not know what is happening to your body during pregnancy and birth. I want to help alleviate those fears and see you feel loved, empowered, and supported during this amazing time. I provide a calming presence, suggestions for labor progress, double hip squeeze, a shoulder to cry on. Encouraging words... Really anything you need. I am the calm, encouraging support who is there to explain what is happening or to just give you a big hug. A birth where you feel loved, supported, and empowered is possible. Let's make it happen.

I acquired Rachelle’s doula services through the Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant for my second pregnancy and birth. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but found Rachelle to be very intuitive and great at navigating my needs. She always came prepared with materials and quick to respond to messages. Throughout this pregnancy I felt anxious and disorganized at times and Rachelle’s non judgemental attitude and calm and kind demeanour made me feel safe and at ease. Overall, I had a great experience having Rachelle as a doula and would highly recommend her services

Rachelle was a calming presence for me during my pregnancy and labor. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to promoting physiologic birth by means of optimal maternal/fetal positioning and non-pharmacologic pain control. She works well with other members of the hospital team and advocated for my needs and wishes. She provided us with a birth timeline, photos and a beautifully written letter to our new baby. These were so special to have. As a labor and delivery nurse, I highly recommend working with Rachelle. She has the experience and knowledge necessary to support you in your birth journey!​

Rachelle was exactly what I needed for my second pregnancy! She is kind and attentive, has an absolute wealth of information and techniques for helping be as active and comfortable as possible both during pregnancy and during birth. I'm so incredibly thankful I had her with me during the birth because her reassurances, calm cheerleading and hip squeezes kept me going. There is a lot that I can say about Rachelle, but I'll keep this brief, I highly recommend her to everyone I know when I hear that they're expecting and looking for extra birth support!
