Jenel Maruk
Birth & Bodywork
Caretaker of the Body
Hi, I'm Jenel Maruk, an RMT & Yoga teacher. I have been a DONA International Doula since 2012 and, in 2021, became a certified doula with Birthing From Within. I have had the honours to support nearly 200 births thus far in hospital and home delivery settings.
Studies on Prenatal and Postnatal Health are ongoing. Jenel's training focuses on physical and a strong mentorship with her clients. From optimal pelvic and baby positioning both prior and during birth to tools to help you navigate & prepare to give birth-in-awareness, not to achieve a specific outcome.
I have also taken courses from Spinning Babies, Mizan Therapy WombCare, Visceral Manipulation, Arvigo Therapy, Abdominal massage, Herbal, and Homeopathic Medicine, focusing on common pregnancy ailments during childbirth postpartum recovery.
I utilize all of my training and body knowledge to support you
the way you want during your birth.
Don't hesitate to contact me to arrange a free meeting.

Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula

As a birth and postpartum doula, I feel that it is both a blessing and a privilege to have the opportunity to share my knowledge and passion with families in Saskatoon and the surrounding area. I do not take this work lightly and I am deeply honoured every time a new family welcomes me into their sacred birth or postpartum space. I approach my work from a holistic perspective - incorporating movement/breathing, nutrition, and herbs into my practice. It is my goal to leave you feeling deeply nourished, empowered, and in touch with your intuition and natural healing capacity.

Learn
about the birth process and explore what is important to you.

Saskatoon Birth Support Doula Services
Preparation for Birth is a Profound Rite of Passage.
StoonRMT doulas understand what parents need in order to give birth - and it’s more than just data and breathing techniques. By beginning from within, Saskatoon RMT doula professionals weave scientific knowledge and concrete coping techniques together with heart-centred, creative exploration in order to provide parents with authentic preparation for the transformative initiation that is the childbearing experience. Our services are for those who know that self-inquiry, connection with their partner, building community with others, and taking risks is a part of preparing for birth and beyond. Of course, things like pain-coping strategies, nuts and bolts about how labour unfolds, and other practical resources are provided, but we also want to dig deeper. Those who can feel a significant shift coming on know that the transition to becoming a parent is HUGE and is a rite of passage and are drawn to our support.
Together we mobilize coping resources. It is acknowledged that unexpected events may happen during labour. Parents receive support for any birth option which might be right for them, including epidurals, cesarean, and home birth. The main focus area is on partners. To enhance their ability to be genuinely present and offer loving, practical support.
As a Doula, we provide non-medical support for you and your support team through informational, emotional, mental and physical support. Doulas are scientifically proven to have a positive impact on labour and birth. Birthing families hire us for many reasons, whether it be previous birth trauma, a history of sexual abuse, anxiety, fear of birth, mental health challenges, or information and support throughout the process.
The birth workers' role in the labour and delivery room does not duplicate or circumvent medical professionals' purpose. The doula's role in the birth room is not that of a visitor. How a doula engages in the birth room is not replicated by a spouse, partner, other family members, or medical professionals. Our mandate is the emotional well-being and comfort of the birthing person and their partner, however, they choose to birth. As a Doula, we will help you feel in control and work with you to facilitate important communication with your medical team. We work to ensure our birthing families understand what is happening and what questions they can ask while providing reassurance, calming anxieties and fears, and offering consistent hands-on physical support to relieve pain, fear and tension. Our doulas can utilize specific massage techniques to align your pelvis to help encourage the smooth passage of the baby through the birth canal. With breathwork, kind words that motivate and promote optimal body position, use of natural remedies (optional) and massage, you will be fully supported throughout your pregnancy & birth.

My experience with Jenel has been nothing but positive! I've had the privilege of having her attend the births of both my children, once in 2014, and now again in 2017.
Jenel is very talented and a well of knowledge in many areas that all seemed to come together when she was my doula. She not only was there for me during the birth, but made herself readily available weeks prior. Whether it was to pop over to give me a massage to ease pre-labor discomfort, relax my mind when baby was taking longer than expected, relax my hip muscles in preparation for birth or answer my late night text messages to give me invaluable advice and tips easing my anxieties and reassuring me all was okay. I knew I could trust her and felt comfortable sharing my concerns with her.
When it came to the birth itself, the moment Jenel arrived at my house I immediately felt more at ease with things. She was able to subside the intensity of my contractions substantially by using massage, counter pressure on my hips, and suggestions of movements. She also gave me confidence in how I was doing by giving gentle words of encouragement and affirmations.
Jenel is very good at what she does and I would recommend her services time and time again. Choosing the right doula for your birth is a decision that can make a world of difference in your experience and, in my opinion, you can't go wrong in choosing Jenel! After all, I did choose her twice;) E.D
