    Angela Duce (Angie) has been a passionate birth & postpartum doula for 5 years, and is a mum to 4. Her own birth experiences taught her the huge value of doula support, which led her to the work she does now. She provides birth education, evidence-based information, advocacy, and support (both emotionally and practically) to her clients, all the way through their pregnancy, labour/birth and into the postpartum period. Like many birth workers she lives life on call for her clients (and her kids!), and wouldn't have it any other way.
