Doula Tuesday meet Sonya
Since 1998, Sonya Duffee has supported families as a labour doula and postpartum doula through the sacred transition into parenthood with respectful, nurturing, and evidence informed care. She is the owner of Full Circle Birth Collective, one of Edmonton’s first and longest-standing doula collectives, and serves as CAPPA Faculty for both the Labour Doula and Postpartum Doula programs, as well as a mentor for new doulas entering the field.
Her background in midwifery across Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Saskatchewan, and Alberta has deeply shaped her commitment to safe, family centered care and has enriched the perspective she brings to every birth space.
As a CAPPA Certified Childbirth Educator and New Parent Educator as well, Sonya provides comprehensive prenatal education and many other services such as facilitating ceremonies and celebrations, placenta support and postpartum belly binding. She has extensive experience supporting surrogacy and adoption journeys, 2SLGBTQIA+ families, VBAC births, and high-risk pregnancies in home, hospital, and birth centre environments.
A mother and grandmother herself, Sonya brings warmth, wisdom, and steady advocacy to every family she serves, helping each one create a birth experience that reflects their values, their voice, and their vision.
