What brought you to birth work?

My path into this work was shaped by my own pregnancy and the birth of my daughter in 2023, which ended in an unexpected belly birth. That experience sparked a desire to support others through pivotal, vulnerable, and transformative moments in their lives.

What’s your personal style as a doula?

While my birth support offerings are currently limited until 2027, my greatest focus and passion is supporting people who are terminating a pregnancy, for any reason. I am committed to upholding bodily autonomy and supporting women and people with internal reproductive organs in having full agency over their bodies and decisions. I believe abortion and pregnancy termination must remain legal, accessible, and free from stigma, and that everyone deserves compassionate, non-judgmental care — to feel safe, informed, and supported in their choices.

Fertility support is another area I’m deeply passionate about. As a fertility doula, I support people in understanding their bodies, getting pregnant, learning fertility awareness methods, and exploring birth control options. 

Training + Education

I am also approved under the Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant Program in BC.

Mila will be taking a pause from birth support until 2027.
