Dr. Renee Hall is a clinical associate professor at the University of British Columbia who has been working in the area of family planning in Vancouver for 25 years.

Julie Vautour is an abortion activist and doula originally from New Brunswick, now based in Ottawa. She moved to the city 15 years ago to pursue her studies in Feminist and Gender Studies, eventually completing graduate work in the field. For nearly a decade, she has worked in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, blending advocacy with hands-on care. In 2018, she co-founded the Ottawa Abortion Doula Collective, a grassroots initiative offering compassionate support through abortion. Julie has always been fiercely pro-choice, but becoming a mother two years ago deepened her conviction: pregnancy and parenthood must always be a choice, never a mandate.

Mel is a registered sexologist and abortion doula with over a decade of experience providing abortion support. She managed the Abortion Support Program at Birth Mark in Toronto and Hamilton for five years, where she created an Abortion Doula Training and trained nearly 100 people. Currently, Mel is the health promotion coordinator at Action Canada for Sexual Health & Rights, where she coordinates their Access Line. She also offers workshops independently through "The Abortion Doula," and is (slowly) preparing to offer abortion support training. 

Mel has a tiny dog-shaped shadow named Archie, who she considers the ultimate doula.
