Did you know we offer childbirth & new parent education?
Because feeling prepared changes everything.

We believe when families understand what’s happening in their bodies and why fear softens, trust grows, and decision-making becomes clearer. Knowledge gives you steady ground to stand on as you move through pregnancy, birth, and the tender early days of parenting.

Our classes are designed to help you:
• Understand what your body is doing in labour, birth & postpartum.
• Learn practical tools and comfort techniques
• Ask the right questions and communicate confidently with your care team
• Advocate for what matters to you
• Create a grounded plan for your postpartum transition and understand your newborn better.

At Full Circle Birth Co., we believe education should meet you right where you are, with clear options, honest information, and support every step of the way.

That’s why we offer:
Private one-on-one sessions , perfect for busy schedules, shift work, and families wanting personalized support
Group classes (in-person & online) for community connection, shared learning, and accessible options for every family

Meet Sonya, one of our educators and guides. With over 27 years of experience, Sonya is a certified childbirth educator and new parent educator who brings warmth, clarity, evidence-based teaching, and deep respect for your choices into every class she leads.

Education builds confidence. Confidence changes birth. You deserve both.

As we make our review of our year at Full Circle for us it isn't about the statistics, how many births we attended, how many classes we taught, or how full our calendar was. It was about people. The families, the differences we make, the impact, the contribution we bring to the world, to our community, to our clients. Our own growth, expansion, learning, thriving, following our life's passions.
It was about the quiet bravery of first-time parents learning how to trust their bodies.
It was about partners who showed up unsure and left grounded, confident, and deeply connected.
It was about families finding their voices, their strength, asking better questions, setting gentler boundaries, and choosing care that truly aligned with them.
We witnessed tears of relief, laughter through contractions, sacred pauses, deep breaths, grief, loss, disappointment and the powerful moment when someone realizes: “I can do this.”
We sat in living rooms at 2am.
We held hands in hospital hallways.
We whispered encouragement, made tea, folded tiny clothes, and reminded tired parents that they are not meant to do this alone. This year, we didn’t just support births, we supported transitions, we moved through the cycles of the season witnessed trimesters, growth and new life around us.
We supported becoming.
We supported families finding their rhythm, their confidence, their way.
To every family who invited us into their story, THANK YOU for trusting us with your vulnerability, your hopes, your fears, your joy, and your becoming.
You didn’t just “use our services.”
You shaped our year.
You reminded us why this work matters.
You changed us in all the best ways.
And as we step into what’s next, we carry every single one of you with us.
With so much gratitude, to you,
to our community, to our colleagues and our team mates, may you have a bright 2026.

As the year softens into its quieter days, we are stepping into a short holiday pause. This is our gentle reminder that rest is not something you have to earn, it’s something you’re worthy of. Whether your days are full of family, friends, cozy corners, or simply a little more stillness, we hope you find moments of warmth, nourishment, and care.

We’ll be back soon, hearts full and ready to continue supporting you through every tender season of parenthood.
Until then, be gentle with yourself.
Stay warm, rest, restore your energy and recover from the busy times of the season.

Happy Winter Solstice 🌙
Today marks the longest night and the quiet turning back toward the light.
For families growing, healing, resting, or simply getting through this season reminds us that stillness has purpose.
That even in the dark, something is unfolding. Roots deepen. Strength gathers. Light is on its way.
May this solstice offer you permission to slow down, to be held, and to trust the natural rhythm of beginnings.

If 2026 is calling you into something more heart-led, flexible, and deeply meaningful, this might be your sign.

Becoming a CAPPA trained doula isn’t just a certification, it's a path into work that nourishes you as much as the families you support.

It’s soul work. Nervous-system work. Community building work.
And yes… it’s also a career you can shape around your own life.

Imagine stepping into a role where:
Your compassion is a strength
Your intuition is a tool
Your presence can change someone’s entire birth or postpartum experience
Your schedule actually supports your life, not the other way around.

Whether you’re craving a fresh start, a second calling, or a way to weave heart centered care into your work, doula training might be exactly what you’re searching for.

CAPPA 2026 trainings are now open for enrollment and if your whole body just said “yes,” follow it.
Step into your calling.
Step into community.
Step into the kind of work that feels like purpose.
Join us in 2026 , your future clients are waiting for you.

This month we’ve had the absolute honour of supporting families through one of life's most memorable experiences. November babies are born under the intuitive depth of Scorpio (October 23–November 21) or the free-spirited optimism of Sagittarius (November 22–December 21). These little ones carry a blend of mystery, fire, curiosity, and heart, old souls and bright sparks all at once.
Scorpio babies may grow into passionate feelers, that are tender, perceptive, and deeply connected to their people. Sagittarius babies often have a natural sense of adventure, joy, and a “big sky” way of seeing the world.
Their birthstones include topaz and citrine, both symbolizing warmth, protection, abundance, and clarity.
To all the families who welcomed their little ones this month we celebrate you and your little one and we are so honoured to have walked alongside you during these first tender moments

Update: our last baby was given the name Oliver.

The Mucous Plug: One of Pregnancy’s most fascinating little guardians If you're pregnant, you’ve likely heard about the mucous plug. This tiny powerhouse deserves more credit! It is pretty cool.

Here are a few interesting things to know:

1️⃣ It’s your body’s natural security system
The mucous plug forms early in pregnancy and acts like a protective seal inside your cervix. Its job? Keeping bacteria out and creating a safe environment for your growing baby. Think of it as your body’s built-in, 24/7 bouncer.

2️⃣ It can regenerate (yes, really!)
Losing a bit? No stress. The mucous plug can rebuild itself throughout pregnancy. Your body is constantly renewing cervical mucus, so small discharges don’t necessarily mean labour is close.

3️⃣ Losing it doesn’t always mean labour is imminent
Some people lose their mucous plug days or even weeks before labour begins. It can be one big glob, stringy, or more like increased discharge. Colour can vary from a clear, white, yellowish, or streaked with blood (often called the bloody show).

4️⃣ It’s different from amniotic fluid
Many people wonder if they’re “losing their water.” The mucous plug is typically thick, sticky, and jelly-like, while amniotic fluid is watery and continuous. When in doubt, reach out to your care provider and try the "towel test" to get a good look.

5️⃣ It’s a sign that your cervix is softening and changing
Seeing your mucous plug can simply mean your body is gearing up. It is a normal, healthy part of the process as your cervix ripens. Trust the process.

Pregnancy is full of mysteries, and this little plug is one of the coolest ones. Your body knows exactly what it’s doing. Comment below if you want to know more about the towel test, we mentioned.
