Born from my own mothering

Oak and Rose Birth was born from my own mothering and the birth of my daughter. This work found me through my own lived experience of being held and supported through my pregnancy, and ultimately seen, witnessed and honoured inside my own birth process.

A mama and longtime practitioner of the healing arts serving Kelowna and the Okanagan, Alli has guided families through movement and mindfulness for over a decade. She is a certified INNATE Postpartum Care provider and a holistic birth doula, having studied alongside traditional birth luminaries including elder midwife Whapio Diane Bartlett and Certified Professional Midwife Rachelle Seliga.

kind words

From Okanagan Families I’ve Held

She has a calm, confident manner that made me feel seen, supported and safe… I knew I always wanted children but feared the reality of birth. Alli melted many of my fears and concerns. With her guidance and support I was able to simply embrace the experience.

Calista, mama to Sailem and Shiloh

Every new mother should experience this kind of care because the fourth trimester is such an integral part of the birthing process. It’s easy to get caught up in the baby, and forget about your own healing. Alli helps with both.

Katie, mama to Oliver and Andy

Alli helped me dispel many of the fears related to my first birth. Every single decision I made was met with grace and support. Not once did I feel judged or criticized. It’s hard to imagine going through labour without an experienced doula by your side.

Emily, mama to Naya
