Rivka Landsberg

Since attending my first birth at 12 years old, I have always been fascinated by pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period. After attending and assisting at many births for my friends and family I decided to become a DONA International educated doula. I also explore pregnancy and birth through my academic career, researching the political impacts of the resurgence of Indigenous birthing practices. I believe that pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period are a powerful and transformative time in our lives and it is an honour to be able to assist, support, and advocate for my clients. I am committed to servicing all types of families along the spectrum of gender, race and sexuality and aim to create an empowering and safe space.
