What I do

Prana Birth Services offers labour doula and childbirth education services for expecting families in the Windsor and surrounding area.
I offer unbiased support of YOUR choices for the birth of your child allowing you to feel empowered every step of the journey.
I will guide you through the array of childbirth choices and decisions to help you to determine what works best for you and your family. 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.
As a trauma informed practice my goal is to help you to feel calm, secure and cared for during this transformative time.

Who I am

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 studying CBI's Breastfeeding Counsellor course and am a member of Evidence Based Birth to further my skill set and provide optimal support to women in our community.
