judgement-free care

A gentle, holistic approach

Care that honours your body, your choices, and your pace

Your journey through birth and the first weeks of postpartum should be a time of healing and quiet connection. My role is to listen first, hold space without judgement, and make sure you feel informed, respected, and genuinely cared for — in body and in heart.

Body-honouring

Your body carries its own wisdom. I bring calm hands, gentle bodywork, and steady reassurance — never pressure, never rushing.

Judgement-free

Home or hospital, natural or planned caesarean, breast or bottle — your choices are yours. I'm here to support them, fully.

Whole-person care

As a Shiatsu therapist and Reiki master, I weave holistic comfort into the practical, everyday support you need.

Meet your doula

Hello, I'm Asnat

I'm a certified birth and postpartum doula, Shiatsu therapist, and Reiki master — and a mother of five, including twins. With over 20 years of experience, I've walked alongside women and families through pregnancy, birth, and the tender early days of postpartum.

My work is rooted in deep respect for the wisdom of the body and the emotional landscape of becoming a parent. Having birthed in hospital, at home, and through a twin birth myself, I know how powerful and vulnerable this time can be — and how much it helps to feel truly seen and supported.

In their words

"
Asnat is doing a great job attending to our baby's needs overnight. I had a health scare about ten days after the birth, and my anxiety and blood pressure spiked. I'm even more grateful to have her overnight support through this difficult time.
Roma · Postpartum client, Oakville area
"
We've really enjoyed our time with Asnat. She's been such a help with our little one — his sleep has improved and become more predictable, and we feel much more confident handling nights on our own now.
