Hi! It's good to meet you.
I'm Corvus, and I run Crow's Nest Doula Services.
If you're interested in working with me, please reach out. Or, find out more about me and the services I offer.
About
Who am I?
I'm a queer full-spectrum doula trained in birth, postpartum, abortion, and fertility support at Doula Trainings International. I'm also a crafter, a writer, and somebody with a longstanding love affair with the ocean.My connections span far and wide—I'm Jamaican, Scottish, and Irish, and was born in England. I've lived in lək̓ʷəŋən territory/Victoria for most of my life, with stints in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal. I'll be back in Tiohtiá:ke from July 2026 onwards.I adore working with people across all identities, but I understand that shared experiences can help you feel more supported. I might be the right doula for you if you're looking for someone who is biracial, trans/non-binary, queer, or who is experienced in non-monogamy & nontraditional family arrangements.
How do I approach my work?
I love working with families in all configurations, and am committed to helping my queer, trans, and BIPOC communities feel at home during transformative life events. Reproductive care can be hard to navigate for so many reasons, and I want to make sure that every family gets the support they need. You should feel comfortable, celebrated, and able to be your full self throughout your reproductive health journey; this is why person-centered, culturally supportive care is at the heart of my practice.Curiosity is the driving force behind this work. This shows up through deep listening and active engagement with the unique things that bring you comfort, joy, and rest.I'd love to work with you. If you're interested, please get in touch!
What is a full-spectrum doula?
Doula Trainings International defines a full-spectrum doula as "a non-medical support person equipped to offer emotional care and practical support at all stages of reproductive health." This also means understanding that all areas of reproductive health are interconnected: a fertility treatment journey changes your experience of pregnancy, experiences of loss impact what new parenthood feels like. The kinds of support you need vary depending on your personal history. If you'd like a more in-depth explanation of the role of a full-spectrum doula, this article by Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings gives a good description.
