Rachel Simmet (She/Her)Vice President Rachel has been a Postpartum Doula since 2018, serving families in the Vancouver and Burnaby area. She first saw the importance of postpartum care after assisting her sister who had twin girls in 2016. She is now passionate about serving families with multiples and the unique challenges that accompany this transition.
Previous to being on the DSA board Rachel was on the events committee of The Shanti Uganda Society where she assisted in putting their large gala fundraiser that raised money for maternal and infant health in Uganda. She is excited to be a part of the DSA board to be able to grow the Doula Fund, so that even more families can have access to doula care. |
