About Me

Prana Birth Services offers labour doula and childbirth information services for expecting families in the Windsor and surrounding area.
I offer unbiased information to support YOUR choices for the birth of your child.
I will help to guide you through the array of choices and decisions that can be made prenatally. During labour I support families with physical comfort measures and relaxation techniques designed to calm, comfort and ease labour sensations. Once baby has arrived I will support you as you transition to life with a newborn.

Who Am I

Kathy Herbertson is a Mom to 2 beautiful children and has been studying birth for over 10 years. I am passionate about supporting women on their journey into Motherhood. I believe that bringing a baby earthside is a transformational event that will forever be etched in the minds of families. It is my goal to help families feel supported, empowered and strong during this transition.  I believe that all Mom's can benefit from the support of a Doula and have a special interest in those who have experience previous trauma. I have received specialized training in Rebozo techniques and Safe Passages training. Certified through Childbirth International as a Labour Doula, I am continually striving to further my skill set and keep current on all aspects of pregnancy, childbirth and beyond. ​Currently I am enrolled in CBI's Breastfeeding Counsellor course and am a member of Evidence Based Birth in order to better support women in our community.

The current price for my services is $600 which includes a free consultation, 3-4 prenatal visits, 24/7 on call services starting at 37 weeks, full labour support until 2-3 hours after delivery and 2 post natal visits. I am always available for email support. Additional visits (either pre or post natal) can be arranged if needed depending on availability. Prenatal education classes are also available as a stand alone option for $150 for 3 sessions with you and your partner. I am proud to be a trauma informed practice and can offer support throughout pregnancy, labour and beyond for those with a history of trauma.
