Moving into the role of the doula was a natural progression for me from my work as peer counselor and crisis intervention worker for women and families needing extra support. I feel so lucky to be pursuing a path that I am deeply passionate about and honoured to be invited to witness the birth of a child!
As a doula and Birthing From Within mentor, I help to create a space for my clients to explore their interests, strengths and fears surrounding childbirth and parenting. I believe that women have the strength and inner knowledge to birth naturally according to their personal instincts. At the same time, I recognize that circumstances arise where compassionate use of medical interventions may be beneficial and/or necessary.
Expanding your family is an exciting and sometimes overwhelming experience for both mom and her partner. As such, I acknowledge that childbirth is a rite of passage for you as a couple as well as individuals. We work together in a partnership to validate your personal growth as individual parents who are coming together to welcome your new baby!
It has been my experience that for some, expanding their community of support while their families are growing can prove to be a profound comfort during pregnancy, labour and well into the postpartum. I am thrilled to be a part of the community that is committed to supporting new families during this transition!
My services are GBLT friendly and embrace families of all walks of life!
