We acknowledge that we live, work, gather, and provide care on the traditional territories of the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples whose relationships with these lands extend across generations.

We honour and respect the histories, languages, cultures, knowledge, and enduring presence of Indigenous Peoples and communities.

We offer this land acknowledgement as an expression of gratitude and as part of our ongoing responsibility to listen, learn, build respectful relationships, and support reconciliation.

As a doula community, we also acknowledge and honour the generations of Indigenous people who have held knowledge, provided care, and supported their communities through birth, family and reproductive experiences, loss, death, ceremony, and other significant life transitions.
