I know first-time parents are inundated with information from the internet, family, and friends. I help take complex information and make it easy to understand.

With my support, I’ve seen birthers build confidence and certainty around their birth plan so they experience satisfying births and become confident parents.

I think birth is best when it’s informed, undisturbed, and safe. With my experience in health services, my love of research, and my passion for pregnancy, birth, and babies, I am a doula that families can feel confident in choosing.

I’ve always been interested in pregnancy. Growing up I was the neighbourhood babysitter, always caring for the kids on the street. While in university, I babysat a ten-day old baby and that sparked a deeper interest in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Over the years of my undergraduate program in health promotion and master’s program in public health, I would find myself watching birth videos in the evenings, reading about hospital bag essentials, and started collecting pregnancy books.

After university, I loved working in the mental healthcare sector and wanted to find a way to incorporate my love of all things babies and pregnancy care. When I was laid off during the pandemic, I learned about doulas. A friend’s mom had just finished her training and I thought it was too good to be true. She was teaching about labour, attending births, and supporting new parents and their babies. It sounded like my ideal job.

I researched doulas and certifications and decided on Bebo Mia Doula training. I have now been supporting births for over a year and I find myself talking about birth and postpartum to anyone who will listen.
