Working Together

It’s hard to navigate challenging behaviour when you are feeling stressed or at your wits end. As rewarding as parenting is, we don't always know if we're doing it right.

 

Connection-Based Parent coaching focuses on helping you adopt a new mindset and approach to parenting. You'll have an arsenal of tools to meet the needs of your child. It also helps you create emotional space for yourself so that you can remain present with your child. 

The best thing you will leave with is the belief that you are an awesome parent because you'll have the transformation to prove it.

Postpartum Doula Services

by Kristi Hanna

​Kristi is invaluable in the early weeks as she gently steps in with care, guidance, and hands-on support so you can heal, rest, and confidently find your footing during one of the most tender and overwhelming chapters of new parenthood.

 

She will provide support such as:

  • Assist with newborn care, including feeding, soothing, diapering, and sleep routines.

  • Caring for your baby during daytime naps or overnight stretches.

  • Provide emotional support and reassurance during the postpartum period.

Baby's Feet

Meet Kristi

Hi, I’m Kristi Hanna, a compassionate and experienced postpartum doula dedicated to helping families navigate the early weeks of parenthood with confidence, calm, and care. My mission is to nurture both baby and parents during this precious — and sometimes overwhelming — transition.

 

With a gentle, nonjudgmental approach, I provide emotional support, newborn care guidance, feeding assistance, and practical help around the home so parents can rest, recover, and bond with their baby. I believe every family deserves to feel supported and empowered as they grow together.

 

Whether you need help establishing routines, easing into breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, or simply a reassuring presence who understands what you’re going through, I’m here to make your postpartum journey smoother and more joyful.

 

Let’s create a peaceful start for your new family — together. 🤍

Insurance Coverage for Doula Services

Some private health insurance and employee benefit plans may reimburse some or all of the cost of doula services. Examples of insurance providers/plans that may cover doula services:

  • Carrot Fertility (Carrot gives you a virtual credit card to pay the invoice, which you enter like a normal credit card payment.)

  • GreenShield

  • Manulife Financial

  • Sun Life Financial

  • Ontario Blue Cross

  • Canada Life / Great-West Life

  • Also via “extended health benefits” or “wellness / lifestyle” benefits.

 

Because insurance plans vary a lot, doula services might not be labeled as “doula” — instead, they could fall under:

  • Lactation consultant

  • Maternity / postnatal support

  • Childbirth education / prenatal classes

  • Wellness / health spending accounts

 

It’s worth asking your insurer whether any of these categories apply — even if “doula” is not explicitly listed.

Here is what working with the right connection- based parent coach can do for you:

Stephanie K.

Alison was thoughtful, emotionally validating to our struggles, always there to offer any type of help we needed, and completely changed how we as parents are able to function with our kids. 

The strategies we learned from her have been invaluable, and I can not speak highly enough of her skill level, compassion, and support through this process... My husband and I have our evenings back, and our relationship with our children is better because of working with Alison."
