About Me.

"There is nothing more sacred than bearing witness to new life being born."

Chilliwack

Welcome here:) My name is Crystal Colbourne. I live in Chilliwack BC with my hubby of 16 plus years and our three kids: age 14, 11, and 7. I love birth, babies, being a doula,  people, coffee, chips, wine, reading, Netflix, walks on the river, the ocean, laughter, cooking and community:) I love partnering with families, supporting mamas, and seeing babies being born. It is an amazing privilege, and one I will never tire of. I have learned through my own struggles, my own birth stories and journey into motherhood, that compassionate support, education, understanding choices, knowing I have a voice now, and knowing where and when to seek help is vital to new families. We have lost our village in our society, and my hope is to bring a piece of it back. In 2020 I started, along with an incredible group of friends and businesses, Rising Mama Collective. A non profit, to fill those gaps in birth and postpartum for those who need it. Which truly, is all of us. I am so grateful that I can also call Birth, my Work:) To do what you love is a gift. Thank you for considering me and my team for your families journey. 

 

Ever since I was a little girl, I have been in love with babies and birth. When I was 12 years old, I had the privilege of watching my mom be my aunt's "doula" and seeing my cousin being born. That experience changed me forever, and I knew some way, somehow, my life had to involve bearing witness to life being born, and supporting women in doing so.

"As Birth and Postpartum Doulas, we support you in your choices and journey. Whether it's through resources, information, constant emotional support, hip squeezes, advocating, and more, we got you mama! Home birth, hospital birth, c-section, and more... every woman deserves support and to be seen!"
