ABOUT US
We received our Onkwehonwe Full-Spectrum Doula Certificates in October 2017 and we have been supporting women since. A'no:wara Owira Doulas functions as an association of doulas in Akwesasne. We can help match you to a doula if you contact us via email or social media. You can also check out our doula profiles and choose to contact someone directly as well. Our goal as Full Spectrum Doulas is to support women throughout the lifecycle, menstruation to menopause. We currently specialize in pregnancy and postpartum. As well as providing lactation support.
WHAT IS A DOULA?
A non medical support person who provides emotional and physical support for menstruation, pregnancy, abortion, pregnancy loss or stillbirth, labour, postpartum and beyond. A doula will establish a relationship with you and help you find evidence-based information and direct you to community resources.
We can help you articulate your birth plan and help you advocate for yourself. We also provide emotional and breastfeeding support during the postpartum period.
