Amber I seriously can not put into words how incredible you are! We couldn’t have done this without you!

I thought a doula was a waste of money when she wanted to hire you. Now I tell every dad to hire a doula.

If anyone in Central Alberta needs a doula, she is the best of the best. You can’t beat a naturally minded doula that knows her stuff and is a nurse all in one!!

Thanks to our birth team last time we feel so much more prepared and ready for our next birth. We agree we’d like the same people at our next birth if we can. ❤️ It was perfect! We loved that everyone had their own jobs and worked together to help it go so smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Birth doula support at Rural Care Co. is primarily offered for families planning to birth under the care of a Midwife, with a preference for home birth settings where continuity, comfort, and physiological birth are central. However, we understand that some births do take place in hospital, whether planned or as needed. In those situations, I am happy to provide support within hospital settings under the care of a Midwife.

  • Yes. Most personal benefit plans will cover in-home nursing care, including postpartum nursing visits. We can direct bill Alberta Blue Cross and Veterans Affairs, and we’re happy to help families understand their coverage and explore available funding options.

  • As a private company, Rural Care Co. works with clients and families to provide care that matches their financial abilities. We direct bill to Alberta Blue Cross, Veterans Affairs, and can work with clients to access additional funding within the province.

  • Within Family Bearing, we care for families from pregnancy through early childhood — including birth doula support, postpartum nursing, newborn care, and nannying/childcare services.

     

    For support beyond the early years, including pediatric respite, in-home nursing, and end-of-life care, please visit our Family Care page to learn more.

  • Rural Care Co. provides care across Central Alberta, employing caregivers from many different communities.
