A few years ago, we made the most incredible resource for Edmonton parents, called Pregnancy & Postpartum Resources in Edmonton, Alberta [by Doula, Grace Pastuck], and it’s continued to serve so many people, that we very much needed the Calgary edition! I’m so thankful that Doula, Stacey Tweedle, was so giving of her time and knowledge, so that we could craft this beautiful resource for all of you parents that call Calgary home.
