Inductions? Yep, I support those too 🫶🏻

And honestly? Inductions can bring a whole different layer of emotions, questions, waiting, decision making, and exhaustion. Whether your induction is medically necessary, elective, unexpected, or something you’ve been mentally preparing for for weeks… you deserve support through every part of it.

That support starts long before the hospital.

Induction prep can look like:
• Understanding your options and the process
• Mental and emotional preparation
• Body prep & positioning
• Natural methods to encourage labour beforehand
• Creating a flexible birth plan
• Knowing what interventions may come next and why
• Having someone help you process everything in real time

One of the biggest things I hear from induction clients is:
“I didn’t realize how long and overwhelming it could feel.”

And that’s exactly why having continuous support matters.

Sometimes inductions move quickly. Sometimes they take 24+ hours. Sometimes plans change multiple times. Through all of it, you have someone in your corner 24/7, someone to answer questions, calm fears, help you advocate for yourself, support your partner, guide positioning and comfort measures, and remind you that you’re not doing this alone.

Whether your birth starts naturally or with an induction, your experience still deserves to feel supported, informed, connected, and empowering 🫶🏻

Yep… I’m REALLY on call 24/7 for you 🫶🏻

Babies don’t care if it’s 2pm or 2am. (Trust me, it’s usually the 2am 😂)
They come when they’re ready, and when you call, I come.
You text, I answer.
You’re scared, excited, overwhelmed, contracting, leaking, crying, laughing… I’m there through it all.

From the very first “is this normal?” text to the moment your baby is in your arms, I walk you through every single step of the way.

Hospital bags, birth plans, labour positions, breathing through contractions, middle of the night reassurance, postpartum questions, feeding support, emotional support… all of it.

This isn’t just a job to me. It’s showing up for families in some of the biggest moments of their lives 🫶🏻

Prairie Doulabar & Wellness Branding Shoot

With my very own wellness centre opening (opening this June!)

I’m doing something a little different… and a lot more me 🫶🏻

Instead of individual sessions, I’m inviting a group of women, babies, and families to come together for a cozy, connection filled gathering to capture what real support actually looks like.

Think:
Women chatting, laughing, feeding babies, swaddling, resting, connecting… just being.
The kind of space where you can exhale.

Who I’m looking for:
• Parents just looking for friendly faces
• Mommas or Daddies and their babies / toddlers
• Pregnant mommas 37+ weeks (for gentle cupping + support photos)
• Pregnant mommas of any gestation
• Newborns & babies (snuggles, swaddles, soothing)
• Postpartum mommas in the thick of it
• TTC families looking for community
• *Past and current patients*
• Anyone open to being part of a warm, supportive, judgment-free space

The vibe:
Come as you are. Messy buns, cozy clothes, babies in arms.
This isn’t posed, it’s real, raw, and beautifully imperfect.

We’ll have little moments woven in (cupping, baby care, rest time), but the focus is on community, connection, and support.

In exchange:
• Complimentary/discounted service options
• Access to professional photos
• A really special experience you’ll feel, a village at your fingertips.

If you want to be part of something honest and meaningful, message me or comment below! 🤍
Or tag someone who should be in this room.

Let’s build the village we all needed ✨

Meet the Founder Melissa Barrowclough Hi, I’m Melissa! Founder of Prairie Doulabar & Wellness and a certified doula passionate about supporting families through every stage of their journey into parenthood.I offer care that spans from fertility and prenatal support to labour & delivery, postpartum...

05/05/2026

You don’t have to be local to be supported.

Yes!!! I travel & offer virtual visits for doula care, because where you live should never determine the kind of support you receive during one of the most important seasons of your life.

I am currently traveling across Saskatchewan & Alberta, meeting families exactly where they are, bringing calm, guidance, and steady support into your space, your birth, & your postpartum.

Whether you’re in a small town, a city, or somewhere in between… you deserve to feel held, informed, and never alone in this.

Travel & virtual options are available for all appointments, and travel for deliveries and I always offer flexible payment plans to make support accessible.

If you’ve been wondering if this kind of care is possible for you….this is your sign to reach out 🤍

This is what labour can look like. 🫶🏻

Not always loud.
Not always rushed.
Not always chaotic.

Sometimes it looks like this, a body completely open.
Arms heavy, muscles soft, jaw unclenched.
Headphones in, shutting out the noise of the world.
Breathing slow, deep, intentional.
Riding each wave instead of fighting it.

This is surrender.
This is trust.
This is a nervous system that feels safe enough to let go.

Because when the body feels safe… it works with you.

Labour doesn’t have to be fear filled to be powerful.
Calm doesn’t mean passive.
Quiet doesn’t mean weak.

This is strength.
This is power.
This is birth. ✨

There’s something about the moments right after delivery that never get old…

The room shifts… everything softens… and suddenly all you hear is:

“This is amazing…”
“This is incredible…”
“Wow… this is amazing…”

Over and over again, like she can’t even find new words big enough to hold what she’s feeling.

And honestly? Same. Every single time.

When the intensity fades into the background…
When the noise, the fear, the waiting… it all just disappears…
And it’s replaced with this overwhelming, all consuming wave of euphoria.

You can see it in her face.
You can feel it in the room.
It’s raw, it’s powerful, it’s unreal.

And I will never, ever get tired of witnessing that kind of magic. ✨

Side note… can we take a second for these OLD tocos though?! 😍
The long strips, the sound, the nostalgia… they just hit different. (North Battleford Hospital has all the old goodies)

04/25/2026

There’s a quiet kind of intimacy that lives in these moments.

Not loud.
Not performative.
Just… present.

A hand being held.
A forehead leaned in close.
Eyes that say “I’m right here with you” without needing words.

Labour has a way of stripping everything back to what truly matters, connection, safety, trust.

And when a partner leans in like this, when they soften, when they show up… it changes everything.

This is what support looks like.
This is what love looks like in labour.

Not fixing.
Not rushing.
Just being steady in the storm.

And as a doula, I get to witness these moments, the ones that often go unseen, but are felt so deeply.

Because birth isn’t just about bringing a baby into the world…
It’s about how we hold each other while it happens 🫶🏻

04/23/2026

There’s just something about this moment 🤍

The first hold.
The first skin to skin.
The first time a dad meets the tiny human he’s already loved for months.

You can feel it in the room… everything slows down. The noise fades. And it’s just them…heart to heart, chest to chest, learning each other in real time.

These are the moments that don’t get talked about enough. The quiet strength. The soft tears. The way their whole world shifts in an instant.

Dads aren’t just “support people” in birth… they’re becoming parents too, right here in this exact moment.

And honestly?
It might just be one of my favourite parts to witness 🫶🏻
