Introductions

Meghan Bowser-Taylor

Meghan has been supporting families in Ottawa for over 15 years. Beginning her career as a birth doula, she then branched out into postpartum support and then childbirth education. Meghan believes that every family deserves to be informed, respected, and empowered throughout their parenting journey.

As a mom to two teenagers, her days look a little different than the clients she supports. When not ubering them around, you are likely to find her out on the water paddle boarding or planning their next travel adventure.

Alex Weinberg

Alex spent over 15 years working as a doula before changing her focus to being the financial brains behind the operation. Today, Alex works in municipal politics while trying to keep up with her toddler. She is focused behind the scenes to help make sure Family Doulas of Ottawa and our sister agencies all run smoothly.

Alex has always believed in the benefits of community and the need for families to build new villages in a changing world. For her, doula work is a way to help families do just that.

Meaghan Grant

Meaghan calls Pickering home, where she lives with her husband and two children. She is responsible for marketing and content creation for Family Doulas of Ottawa. She continues to work with birth and postpartum clients in the Greater Toronto Area.

As a mom of two, Meaghan knows that parenting is a wild ride and believes that families thrive when they are supported. When she isn’t working with clients, she is busy supporting women’s hockey, playing board games with her kids, and knitting.

Family Doulas of Ottawa was founded in 2017 and has been in operation ever since. We pride ourselves on providing support to all families, without judgement or bias. Our team reflects the diversity of the Ottawa-Gatineau Region and is dedicated to making all families feel cared for and supported.
