I am an approved birth worker providing support for Indigenous families accessing the Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant Program.

Any family birthing a baby with Indigenous roots as identified by the parents, (status is not required), is eligible to 1200.00 of grant funding for birth or postpartum doula/coaching support. Here for more information, as well as the registration form. Doulas for Aboriginal Families - BCAAFC

My name is Corina (she/her). I have been supporting birthing families since 2009. My Ancestors are Welsh and Norwegian settlers to Treaty 4 territory where I was born. I have been an uninvited occupier of the unceded and traditional territory of the Katzie, Kwantlen, and Semiahmoo peoples where I live since 1992. I am humbled with gratitude to be here with my family upon these beautiful lands. I extend my respect to the Elders, Land and Water Protectors, and all of the relatives that have called these lands home since time immemorial.

My path into birth work began through my own pregnancies and losses. Becoming a parent changed the trajectory of my life in ways I could not have imagined. After my first pregnancy loss, the arrival of my daughter, followed by my two sons, quite literally saved my life. Pregnancy and birth became the doorway through which I found another way to live, heal, and find my path back to wholeness.

As a person with lived experience and incredibly grateful for my recovery, this lens deeply informs how I support families. The care I offer is shaped not only by training and experience, but by what it means to find steadiness through vulnerability, and to rebuild trust in the body over time.

Parenting and birth work have been intertwined for me since 2000, each continuing to teach me about growth, responsibility, grief, and resilience. This long arc of learning has carried me through bedside support, education, mentorship, advocacy, and community-based work.

All of this experience brings me here, in relationship with you.

I am committed to birthing justice and to sharing the knowledge I had to learn the hard way, so others do not have to walk that path alone. I believe deeply that trauma does not need to be the defining feature of how we bring our children into the world. Birth is not only a medical event, it is a powerful, embodied rite of passage with the potential to shape families for generations.

The childbearing years ask much of us. They require courage, trust, and an intimate knowing of our own strength. My hope is that through this work, you come to feel that strength more clearly in your body, and to meet this journey with less fear and more grounded confidence.

With care,
Corina
