Your trusted source for pregnancy, birth and postpartum support in Sudbury (and beyond). But odds are you feel a little (or a lot) nervous, anxious, or unsure.

About Me

There’s a misconception that pregnancy and birth should be perfect – blissful if you will. I can relate. I’m Meg Kant – a certified doula, psychology graduate, and also a mom who knows exactly how you feel. I am the proud mama of a happy baby boy, but my journey to motherhood was not easy. My first pregnancy ended in a late-stage miscarriage, and I suffered from antenatal depression during my second (more detail on my story is below). Despite my challenges, I developed a deep interest in, and passion for, childbirth. I also gained a firsthand understanding of the challenges that many expectant mothers face but are often afraid to talk about, or seek help for. I’ve always been driven to help people, and saw an opportunity to use this knowledge and passion to help other women as a doula. So, in 2015 I became trained through Bebo Mia and I now have the pleasure and privilege of providing birth and postpartum doula services to families in Sudbury. How I can help you

My birth doula packages include full attendance at your birth as well as support leading up to, and immediately following the big day. I am your resource for up-to-date information, emotional support, and hands on help. Click here to red more. My postpartum packages are for mothers who could use some hands-on help and/or emotional support in the early postpartum period, either during the day or overnight. Full details are available here. My Story

My story of motherhood is a rocky one. My first pregnancy ended abruptly when, at 4.5 months, I was told my son no longer had a heartbeat. Learning that – and having to be induced and birth the baby I had lost – was the saddest and most difficult experience of my life. But after the storm comes the sun and it surely did for us, in the form of a second pregnancy four months later. My son Gibson arrived on the scene in May 2015 – but not the way I had envisioned. I was diagnosed with antenatal depression in my third trimester, and ended up deciding to have a hospital birth with epidural – a far cry from the un-medicated homebirth of my dreams. But you know what? I still felt good about it. And that’s because I was aware of my choices and made decisions that were right for me. Which is exactly the feeling I want to help other women achieve. By my definition, bliss does not mean perfection. It means REAL. It means YOUR OWN. It means CONTENT. And all that comes from having the right support in your corner – which I’d be delighted to provide for you.

Friends! I started a Go Fund Me Campaign✨️

I receive inquiries from expecting parents regularily who woukd benefit from prenatal, birth and postpartum support and although I am able to offer a sliding-scale for my services, it's not always feasible or accessible for them.

My mission is to provide 35 hours of prenatal, birth and postpartum support to an expecting mama that otherwise wouldn't have access to personalized care.

Please share and donate if you're able 💜

Each donation, no matter the size, can make a real difference in ensuring an expecting mama gets the personalized care they deserve.

Northern Mama Maternal Services offers exceptional birth and postpartum doula support in Sudbury, Ontario and surrounding areas.

Our Story

There’s a misconception that pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period should be perfect. But – spoiler alert – it rarely is. It’s beautiful, but it can also be messy, stressful and utterly bewildering.

The good news? The right support can make ALL the difference – and Northern Mama Maternal Services is here to provide it.

You can count on us for the support you need, when you need it – whether that’s a doula to lean on through pregnancy and childbirth, extra hands in the postpartum period, a phone-a-friend lifeline for your most pressing pregnancy questions, help getting some much-need sleep, or therapy to help you through the darkness and into the light.

We are a collective of northern mamas ourselves, founded by Meg Kant, a certified doula with an honours degree in psychology (and two of the sweetest little boys you ever will meet).
