Brooke El Skaf, Calgary fertility, birth, and postpartum doula.

Meet your doula!

My name is Brooke (she/her) and I am the doula behind Beltane Birth Doula Services.

Supporting families through their fertility journeys, births, and early postpartum days is my dream job. As the eldest of four daughters with a mother who ran a successful day home for many years, I grew up surrounded by all things baby and was old enough to remember welcoming each of my siblings into the world.

Though I only officially started my doula career in 2024, I’ve been serving families in a professional capacity since 2010! I began as a neonatal intensive care (NICU) and pediatrics nurse in Alberta, helping sick kids to get better and supporting families to make the all-important transition home. I also obtained a degree in social work and a graduate degree in sociology, focusing on how we can use research to inform sensitive, compassionate, and social justice-focused care. Working as a doula allows me to bring my very favourite pieces of those roles together into something special and unique. Every story I get to be a part of is something I am deeply grateful for, and there’s no greater satisfaction than knowing you’ve supported someone through some of life’s most sacred moments.

I am currently certifying as a fertility support practitioner, birth doula, and postpartum doula through Doula Training Canada. As a result, I have done all my training and am now gaining additional practical experience by working hands-on with clients. I am also passionate about continued and life-long education and am always taking workshops, listening to podcasts, and digging into the research so that I can bring you the best quality care possible.

Whether you choose to work with me or any of the other fabulous doulas in our community, I wish you an empowered, meaningful, and beautiful birth and postpartum.

How does doula care work?

Doula care allows you to pick and choose services you want to support you on your journey.

At Beltane Birth, we offer full-spectrum doula care from preconception fertility support to birth and postpartum support. We also offer services to families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss. Families can join us at any of these stages, choosing specific support to meet them where they are at, or they can choose to work with us all the way through their journey to parenthood.

We offer in-person services to families in Calgary, Alberta and offer virtual support to people across Canada. Because Brooke is currently working toward formal certification as a doula through Doula Training Canada, she is offering doula support services at a reduced cost.

Brooke is happy to support any families who feel called to work with her. It’s important to find a doula who you feel has the right personality and experience to support you.
