Michelle MacLean
Everything I believe in I brought into my own birth.
Like all doulas, Michelle MacLean is a birth junkie. Michelle has been a doula since 2005 and has no intention of quitting.
Michelle is the mother of two beautiful girls baby Tuuli, she became hooked on birth culture and babies. Anything related to pregnancy and birth Michelle wanted to read it, learn it, master it.
Michelle took the DONA course in 2005, and started her practice right away. Fate brought Michelle across two women that introduced her to “Birthing from Within”. Words were now able to describe Michelle’s feelings and beliefs about pregnancy, birth and beyond. She completed two “Birthing from Within” courses and honours these teachings not only in her Doula practice but also her everyday life.
Raman Holat
love nurture empower
My name is Raman Holat and I am very honored and excited to be a member of The Divine Child Doula Services!
I am passionate about empowering and assisting families with all aspects of Pre-Natal, Birth & Postpartum care.
I have extensively studied a number of modalities that I feel help to have the best experience and overall result possible.
I am a certified Holistic Doula (the most comprehensive Prenatal, Birth and Postpartum Doula training program in North America) as well as a Sacred Birthing Doula (which works with soft birth practices and views birth as an intimate and sacred event). Both of these certifications allow for a wholesome approach including; nutrition, herbs, homeopathy, Thai massage, yoga therapy, body movement, meditation and more!
Being fascinated with the power of the body mind connection, I decided to obtain my Masters in Psychosomatic Therapy. Psychosomatic Therapy offers awareness to those areas of the body and mind that can eliminate stress, tension and discomfort.
I am also a white belt Nia instructor and have been teaching classes in the lower mainland for a number of years. Nia is a sensory-based movement practice that draws from martial arts, dance arts and healing arts. I use Nia as a tool to help moms move and feel their body as changes occur throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
Last but not least, I am also a Quantum Touch practitioner. Quantum Touch is a method of natural healing that works with the Life Force Energy of the body to promote optimal wellness. It is an effective method for reducing back pain, realigning structure, balancing organs, glands and systems, reducing muscle aches, and healing injuries.
