About

What is a Doula?

A doula is an experienced birth attendant and caregiver who offers emotional, physical, spiritual and psycho-social support to a woman, her partner, and her family. The role of a doula is to support the mother in her understanding, trust, and faith in the normal and natural processes of pregnancy, birthing and attachment parenting. A doula takes care of the details so parents can focus on their growing family.

Mindful Mother Doula Services is the proprietorship of Becky Purpur, who provides Birth and Photography services in Central Alberta.

Becky Purpur, Professional Childbirth Consultant, Educator, Mentor, Doula & Birth Photographer

Becky Purpur is a doula with over 17 years of experience supporting hundreds of families throughout their childbearing years.

Her philosophy is that pregnancy, birth, and parenting is an innately safe and natural process. It is essential to help birthing women create a narrative of empowerment in the way they speak and share about birth. Women can be empowered to believe that their bodies are fully capable of giving birth without intervention.

Becky is passionate about documentary style photographer specializing in natural and low light photography for births. She is also passionate about all aspects of gentle, natural parenting.

“As a doula, I trust the process of pregnancy and birth. I trust your body and your baby. I believe in your innate ability to grow your baby, to birth your baby, to feed, to nurture, to parent your baby.”
