Focus: Birth Doula
Language: English, Turkish

I immigrated to Canada 8 years ago from Turkey while pregnant in my second trimester. My personal experience as a new immigrant navigating the healthcare system led me to study pregnancy care in depth. I initially completed a DONA birth doula training in 2012 and continued my training at UBC School of Medicine in the Department of Midwifery. For the last few years, I have supported many pregnant people prenatally, during birth and postpartum. I value the importance of creating a strong community support system, especially for newcomers lacking family/ friends social support. I am also passionate about providing culturally safe care to anybody who may be in need of extra sensitivity. I am looking forward to supporting my clients mentally, emotionally, and physically during their pregnancy and parenthood journey.
