Who am I?
A mother of 13 children, I have always been passionate about the world of maternity. After many years as a stay-at-home mom, I began supporting friends through their births — and I loved it so much that I decided to train formally.
I completed my birth companion training with Mère et Monde and continue learning through ongoing education. I currently work with Naissance Renaissance de l’Outaouais and have also completed my breastfeeding support mentor training. I am a gentle and calm person, ready to meet you where you are at every step of your journey.

What they say
Martine’s doula service is truly indispensable! She helped me avoid tearing (for the first time!) during the birth of my 4th baby — born in the comfort of our home with my midwives and husband present. I will always be grateful!
She encouraged me and applied pressure points to help ease the pain. I am so grateful to Martine for being there for me — I couldn’t have done it without her! Thank you!!
I asked Martine to accompany me during my birth. She was ready to act and arrived quickly every time I needed her. During labour, her reassuring presence and gentle, calm voice were a great comfort.
You were such a great help, support, encouragement, and strength! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
