Monique Cowan is a Birth and Postpartum Doula and Lactation Educator. Monique is also the mother of a beautiful and brilliant daughter, who is the inspiration for her going through doula training. Monique formally trained as a doula in 2011, after receiving the nurturing and support of a doula during her own pregnancy and childbirth. But, she has been doing the work of a doula since 2001, even before she had heard the word. She naturally cared for her friends and family members during and after their pregnancies. She has cared for babies and children since the age of 16.

Monique’s mission is to help mothers understand and connect with their own innate and inalienable power and to birth and parent from that place. Because so much of what moms say they want and decisions they make for birth is based in their deep fear and anxiety, Monique focuses on fear and anxiety release before the birth and postpartum plans are even made. Monique is passionate about supporting her clients wholistically and bringing in the entire family so that birth and postpartum is full of love, joy and power as the norm and not the exception!
