A little more about me
Bianca-Kate Augustin est passionnée par la santé maternelle et infirmière clinicienne avec près de cinq ans d'expérience, notamment en salle d'accouchement, en récupération après césarienne, en soins postnataux et en clinique obstétricale. Elle détient un baccalauréat en sciences infirmières de l'Université McGill ainsi qu'une certification de doula de 'Childbirth International'. Animée par le désir d'aider les familles à se sentir rassurées, soutenues et informées, Bianca croit que le savoir est une force qui peut transformer l'expérience de la naissance et du postnatal. Elle s'engage à accompagner les familles afin qu'elles se sentent valorisées et autonomisées tout au long de cette étape à la fois mémorable et vulnérable. Après avoir longtemps offert ses services de doula à ses proches, elle ouvre maintenant ses bras à la communauté élargie. Bianca est également en voie de devenir consultante en lactation certifiée IBCLC d'ici 2026. En plus de sa pratique de doula, elle est la cofondatrice de Nouma, une initiative dédiée à repenser et à renforcer les soins postnataux à domicile au Québec.

Testimony(ies)
Bianca était un soutien inoubliable pendant ma grossesse à haut risque, mon accouchement et postnatal. Sans elle, je ne sais pas comment j'aurais pu le faire. Elle m'a soutenu pendant mes périodes "noires" et est devenue comme un membre de la famille. Elle m'a aidé à prendre des décisions concernant ma gestation de douleur, qui/quoi me reférer pour mes médicaments et ceux de ma fille. Je la recommande 100%!
I met Bianca through my best friend and was blessed to have her be a part of my birth experience. She helped me through my pain and helped me focus when my baby was rapidly coming. She helped me with my son's first breastfeeding latch. Her follow-ups were always sincere.
Bianca was so supportive throughout my 2nd pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She came to one of my OB pregnancy appointments as support when my partner could not attend. She gave me resources for my sciatica pain and reassured me throughout my epidural, labor, and birth. She checked on me and my family regularly postpartum to make sure I felt supported.
Bianca was a great resource for lst pregnancy as I did not know what to expect. She prepped me and my husband weekly for the labor and postpartum period (baby care, mental health). My birth experience was not planned because I wanted to give birth at home, however, Bianca was a great support through it all and ensured my voice was heard!
We still talk to this day and have now become friends who. regularly check up on each
