Hayley MacRae, ECE, BA

My journey into birth work was a transformative experience; after combating postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety with my firstborn, I began spending all of my waking moments trying to learn about motherhood, it’s diverse range of experiences, and it’s learning curves. I became fascinated by the profound transition into motherhood and amazed by the lack of support and awareness mothers receive when it comes to their brand-new journey. Before I became a mother, I completed an Honours degree in childhood and social institutions, with a certificate in advocacy and minor in psychology. I have worked in children’s care sectors for over ten years and am a registered early childhood educator.

My passion for education and supporting the family in a holistic manner is part of what drove me to become a full spectrum doula and perinatal educator after my second child was born in 2020. I am well-versed in topics from pregnancy up until late childhood! It is with this combination of knowledge and passion that I strive to offer fresh and new ways to support mothers and families in their journey, meeting them right where they are.

My perinatal training includes: - Full Spectrum Doula - Childbirth and Perinatal Educator - Empowered Birth Training - Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders: Components of Care Certificate
