Doula, Registered Kinesiologist, and Body Ready Method® Pro serving families in Sudbury, Ontario
I LOVE being a Doula
The support I provide for birth is practical, body-based, and deeply personal to you and your needs.
I’m Lexi Dewar, a birth doula and Registered Kinesiologist based in Sudbury, Ontario. Through Birth & Body, I support pregnant families with movement-based birth preparation, hands-on labour support, and postpartum recovery guidance.
I love this work. It feels like my soul landed exactly where it was meant to be.
I didn’t start here by accident. My original “why” was rooted in helping women feel strong and supported in their bodies, especially through pelvic health, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery. I wanted women to know that they can have strong, functional bodies after having children.
But birth support changed something in me.
Over time, this work has grown into a deep respect for birth and for the woman moving through it.
Labour is raw, intense, unpredictable, and incredibly powerful. My role is to stand beside you… calm, steady, and fully present, attending to what you need so you can do one of the most incredible things humans are capable of.
I’m here for all of it.
The messy parts.
The quiet parts.
The powerful, life-altering moments.
And everything in between

Why families choose to work with me:
Many people hire a doula because they want emotional support in labour. That matters deeply. But I also bring a strong body-based lens to birth preparation.
My background in kinesiology shapes the way I support clients through pregnancy and labour. I look at posture, movement, alignment, comfort, pelvic space, and the way the body adapts through pregnancy and birth. I help clients prepare in a way that is practical, thoughtful, and rooted in both physiology and real-life support.
Families often come to me because they want more than general birth education. They want to understand what is happening in their body, how movement can make a difference, how to work with labour, and how their partner can play a real and helpful role.
Some words from a few clients:
“I keep trying to find the words that could properly convey how incredibly integral Lexi was to my partner and I at our birth. My partner said it best, when we were digesting the whole thing and he shared he was able to be more present and actually experience the birth more than our first because he had Lexi with him. And I never had to say or ask for anything, Lexi was just always right there, knowing exactly what would help. I remember thinking she is a good mind reader. Lexi is incredible at her job. Her skills were so needed. I wish everyone got a doula.”
- Former Birth Client
“Lexi is AMAZING and she is an absolutely wonderful person. She respected my birth plan and advocated for me. I am truly blessed and thankful to have found Lexi. I completely trusted her which allowed me to remain calm during my labour and delivery. My entire experience was beyond WONDERFUL and I owe a lot of it to Lexi. I wish there were 6 or more stars as I would give her more than a 5 star rating.”
— Former Birth Client“Lexi is amazing!!! We highly recommend her! Lexi made our pregnancy journey easier and our labour experience amazing. She was a great support for my husband and I! Lexi is extremely knowledgeable and makes you feel confident throughout the entire process. She makes you feel like a friend more than a professional you are working with. She goes above and beyond to make you and your family comfortable every step of the way! We can’t thank her enough!”
— Former Birth Client“Right from the start, Lexi’s kindness and genuine care made us feel understood and supported. Her relatable and warm approach helped us navigate birth planning with confidence and ease. Her training in the Body Ready Method was incredibly helpful for delivery preparation!
Lexi’s knowledge and personalized guidance simplified the often-overwhelming aspects of preparing for birth. If you’re looking for a doula who truly cares and goes above and beyond, we can’t recommend Lexi enough!
Beyond her birth support, Lexi offers a variety of services to help new mothers connect and build community while prioritizing physical and mental wellbeing. From play cafes to stroller fit classes, she’s an amazing resource for moms and moms-to-be in the Sudbury area. ❤️
— Former Birth ClientI have now had the privilege yet again to have Lexi provide my family and I birth support. Her expertise and care is truly irreplaceable, and the passion she brings to her work is contagious. We could not be more thankful for her support, presence, and confidence during our most vulnerable time! I hope never to have to birth without her support!
— Former Birth Client
“We had an unmedicated home birth and I really believe the success was due to Lexi. She helped me through any fears during labor allowing me to continue progressing and also was huge emotional support for my partner . She is amazing at what she does and her energy is exactly the calming grounding energy I needed at my birth. She even helped with some pp anxiety I was experiencing. Neither me or my partner could have imagined not having her there.”

Who am I?
My background
I am a Registered Kinesiologist, birth doula, and Body Ready Method® Pro. My work is grounded in movement science, birth physiology, hands-on labour support, and postpartum recovery.
I support clients through pregnancy with prenatal kinesiology, birth preparation, labour education, and doula care that considers both the physical and emotional side of birth. I also support postpartum healing with a strong focus on core recovery, pelvic health, and returning to movement in a way that feels safe and realistic.
This combination of training allows me to bridge the gap between fitness, function, comfort, and birth support in a way that is unique in the Sudbury area.
My approach to birth
I believe birth is not something we simply endure. It is something we can prepare for.
That does not mean controlling every detail or promising a perfect outcome. Birth is still birth, and there are always unknowns. But there is real value in preparing the body, understanding how labour works, creating supportive habits in pregnancy, and building confidence before birth begins.
I believe in helping clients focus on what they can control. Their movement. Their posture. Their environment. Their support system. Their understanding of labour. Their ability to respond, adapt, and feel grounded in the process.
My role is not to push one kind of birth. I support hospital birth, home birth, medicated birth, unmedicated birth, and everything in between. My goal is to help clients feel informed, supported, and physically prepared for the work of birth.
