Welcome to OliveTree Doula
Certified Labour & Birth and Postpartum Doula

ABOUT US
Meet Our Doula
Hi, I'm Bailey Schrader. I am a birth and postpartum doula trained and certified through Doula Canada. On top of my training in pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, I have several years of experience in the social services/mental health field. Because of my background, education and informed consent is something that I am extremely passionate about and hope to help you to have an as empowered birth as possible. As a mother myself, I know your experience and journey is your own, and our work together will reflect that.
Consultations
Are you curious for a more in-depth understanding of what a doula's role is or how that can work for you?
I offer complimentary consultations for anyone curious about hiring a doula, or if you just want to meet me to see if we are the right fit for each other. In order to support you in your journey, I think this is an important step and will complete one whether someone is immediately on board or wants more information before making a decision.

Postpartum Support
Postpartum is a challenging time for people as there are so many new adjustments, and now there's a whole new person! The role of a postpartum doula is to "mother the mother". The best way to be the best parent you can be, is to make sure you're okay first.

​
-
Bodyfeeding Support

Assisting with the newborn so parents can rest
-
Helping new parents adapt to life with the newborn (assisting and educating on topics such as with bathing of baby, diaper changes, feeding, etc.)
-
Light Housekeeping

Postpartum Doula services require a minimum of 8 hours upon signing contract. More can be requested as needed. The current hourly rate for postpartum services is $25/hour, but works out lower if booking in packages.
TESTIMONIALS
Brittany
“Bailey is absolutely fantastic and offers amazing support. I would highly recommend hiring her to anybody considering a doula”
Eilidh
"Bailey was my postpartum doula for baby 2, and I cannot say enough good things about her and the support she provided. Still being relatively new to the area and not having family here, Bailey soon became not only our doula but our friend. She was there to listen and validate my concerns and my 3 year old son loved having her to talk to and play with. Bailey was also a natural with not only our 3 year old but our new baby girl. She cared for our baby so I could shower or just have some me time. Bailey provided no judgement care and I cannot stress enough how important and invaluable her presence was. If you’re in the market for a doula, Bailey is perfect. She’s the missing puzzle piece for any mom who just needs support and time during postpartum, which is such a vulnerable time for many women and their families"

"Bailey was our doula for our second baby's birth back in July and she was amazing! I wouldn't have wanted to do it without her. I had a rough pregnancy, with finding out my husband was sick and needed surgery so soon before our due date, he was still healing when I gave birth so having Bailey there by our side was a godsend. Thank you so much Bailey for being our doula and great friendHighly recommend OliveTree Doula"
