Our Story

Edmonton Area Family Doulas was brought to life by founder and agency owner April Fermaniuk. After meeting her mentor, and completing her training program, April was inspired to create a local doula business focused on providing non-judgemental support for the entire family. April has a giving nature and has always had a passion for people. After having three children of her own, she also has a passion for all things related to mom and baby.

She found a way to bring them both together by founding Edmonton Area Family Doulas. April is kind, compassionate, and sincere. Her easy going personality will put any new parents' mind at ease and her empathetic nature will make her a valuable member of any birth or postpartum team. April has brought together the best doulas Edmonton has to offer to create a unique shared care model for families.

The team at Edmonton Area Family Doulas are passionate about ensuring you and your family feel both safe and confident in the support you are receiving from us before, during and after the birth of your child.
