Hi, I’m Aly Bell mother, wife, and friend. I believe in caring for the mind, body, and spirit as a whole, and this deeply shapes my work as a Holistic Doula. Based in Prince Edward Island, Canada, I support families and hold space for mothers through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My vision is to help mothers navigate the wild journey of motherhood with a strong Village, a deep sense of Value, and a clear Vision. Ending each session together with feeling held, blissful and nourished.
Hippy Dippy Doula Philosophy
I believe birth is not just a medical event but a sacred passage one that deserves to be held with reverence, compassion, and joy. Every woman carries innate wisdom within their body, and when nurtured in safety, trust, and love, that wisdom unfolds naturally.
My philosophy is rooted in the knowing that support is not one-size-fits-all. Each family has unique needs, rhythms, and values. As your doula, I walk alongside you never in front, never behind reminding you that you already hold the strength, intuition, and voice to birth and mother in your own way.
Hippy Dippy Doula Methodology
My approach weaves together modern doula care with traditional practices and holistic nourishment, guided by the three pillars of Held, Blissful, and Nourished:
✨ Held (Body Support):
Practical and physical care comfort measures, breathwork, bodywork (like abhyanga massage and belly binding), and hands-on support during labour, postpartum recovery, and beyond.
✨ Blissful (Mind Support):
Emotional grounding through education, reassurance, and gentle guidance. I provide tools for informed decision making, a calm presence in the birth space, and rituals that honour your transition into parenthood.
✨ Nourished (Soul Support):
Wholesome, Ayurvedic-inspired cooking, healing teas, postpartum rituals, and ceremonies such as Closing of the Bones to restore balance and bring you back into yourself after birth.
This methodology allows me to blend evidence-based doula support with ancient wisdom traditions so you feel deeply cared for, body, mind, and soul.
Testimonial
"Aly has been an indispensable part of our journey to parenthood. She has been a calm presence throughout my pregnancy, and I am so grateful for every time I was able to message or call her with any concerns. Aly held space for me to make important decisions without any judgment or expression of any opinion one way or another, which was so freeing and encouraging. I felt seen and heard and like I was doing all the right things. During my labour, she was ready and came to support me however I needed. The night before, she came to set me up with a Tens machine, which helped in the early stage. Then as soon as I needed her she was there, timing contractions which freed me and my partner up to just focus on the labour. Although there was a rare/unexpected complication, I still had the birth of my dreams in the comfort of my home, and I couldn’t be happier. I am so grateful for everything Aly did to make this happen. Afterwards, she also helped with postpartum support. The snacks she made were nourishing and tasty and I felt embraced into motherhood. She made it feel okay for my partner to have a break, which left both of us feeling more confident in our abilities. The whole thing has been a wonderful experience and I cannot recommend Aly’s services enough. Thank you so much for everything, Aly. "
