Hi there, my name is Erin vanderMark and I am a Professional Birth and Postpartum Doula. I currently reside in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. Before living in Kelowna, I managed a Midwifery Clinic in Vancouver where I was fortunate to work with and be mentored by an incredible midwifery team.

​

For as long as I can remember I have always found pregnancy and birth both beautiful and amazingly fascinating. In 2015 I completed my undergrad at the University of Calgary, where I obtained a degree in Sociology with a minor in Health Sciences. Then in 2018, I started my doula training through the Doula Canada Program. In  2021 I expanded on my education by attending the Postpartum Support International Conference where I took their Perinatal Mental Health Specialist Certification course. This solidified my passion for maternal mental health, and I am currently completing my Masters of Psychology in Clinical Counselling with plans to specialize in Psychotherapy for Perinatal Mental Health.

​

Aside from my passion for maternity care, I love to travel and explore. Visiting other countries and cultures over the years has sparked my interest in women’s health. We all bring life into this world in the same powerful and beautiful way, and having the privilege to witness birth across various cultures has been truly such an honour. ​So far in my Doula career, I have attended over twenty-five births throughout British Columbia and in Tanzania, East Africa.

 

I could not be more excited to be a part of care and I look forward to meeting you and supporting you throughout this incredible journey!
