about us
Hi I'm Grace, a Canadian doula with a beautiful boy and I am setting out to provide an all-inclusive birthing pool rental kit experience for parents across the Edmonton region and ivory white birth pool sales Canada-wide. I am so excited to share this journey with you and cannot wait to see your luxurious white birth pool in action!
A note from Grace.
Thanks for being here! I love that you're interested in what started this for us - I am a forward-thinking, pattern-breaking, entrepreneurial-minded mama who is building the best life possible for my little family!
I moved to Edmonton just before the pandemic hit. Like so many families, I ended up pregnant with our boy! In 2021, I birthed him unmedicated with a doula and OB support at the Sturgeon Hospital in St. Albert, and loved my experience. However, it showed me how big the gap in care is for today's modern mothers.
I completed my doula training in November 2021 and was registered and certified with Doulas of North America (DONA) International by May 2022. I have proudly supported over 50 births including planned cesareans, at-home babies, birthing centre deliveries, hospital births, epidural births, and everything in between!
All of this brought us to our latest business venture - birth pool rental services. I've witnessed first-hand the benefits of water birth and studied the science behind how hydrotherapy of any kind can improve outcomes for moms and babies during labour and delivery. I have a passion for helping families create the optimal birth environment, and birth pools aligns with that so beautifully. I wanted to start a business that is accessible and client-focused, while also finding a birth pool that is pretty, calming, and gives families all the items they need to set up quickly and easily! I'm a best both worlds girly, gotta keep it practical but also cute!
Hi, I'm Grace! Doula, mother, and the creator

Birth Pools by Grace is a spin-off of my doula business name - of course, it's my first name, but there's a sweet story behind it... before I got started, Rhodes' Dad gifted me business cards that were a beautiful cream colour with a basic floral logo stating "Graceful Birth Doula". This was his way of showing he believed in me and I could make this happen! I have since rebranded to "Your Doula, Grace" but the meaning is the same!
Our dog is an American bulldog mixed with a puggle, her name is Winnie we got her during pandemic! She is a built in babysitter, certified baby food vacuum cleaner and Rhodes’ best friend.
Our parenting style is a mix of let him roam free, but also mindful teachings and nurturing bonds. We love to find joy in the chaos and live on a whim, but we also value structure and routine!
Grace never leaves the house without 3 drinks, snacks, and her Ilia lip oil, but one time she drove away without Rhodes and Curtis LOL
You can often find Curtis chatting birth with dads over smoked meats and BBQs and encouraging all parents to take back their power!
Grace has 5 younger siblings! She loves being the oldest because she can help guide them and they make life fun!
Curtis loves golf, his Toyota truck, and being a boy dad
