It would be my honour to support you throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. Every birth is unique and every family deserves to feel heard, supported, and respected—no matter where or how they choose to give birth. I offer care for home births, hospital births, and everything in between, always centering your choices without judgment.
Birth unfolds in many ways, and understanding both physiological birth and the medical system allows me to support you in navigating your options with clarity and confidence.
During labor, I hold space for you and your support team, facilitating clear communication with your providers and encouraging a strong foundation of informed consent. My care extends into the postpartum period, ensuring you feel supported as you and your baby transition into this new chapter.

It matters how we bring our babies into this world. As a birth keeper, my priority is to be with women and birthing families. I’m here to reflect your strength and support what matters most to you in the unfolding of your birth experience.
In the current maternity care system, the doula is the only member of the birth team that is chosen by the birthing family. It is an honour to be trusted with this responsibility! I am dedicated to providing empowering information, and helping you access the knowledge and resources that build confidence and preparedness.
I am fascinated with the physiology of birth, with the innate power of the feminine body, and ways to integrate traditional wisdom in the childbearing year. I want to contribute to generating culture that honours the Mother.
I am also a professional bodyworker, and bring gifts of healing touch. I believe that all pregnant and postpartum bodies require loving, intelligent contact to thrive. I offer a spectrum of hands on care that includes pregnancy massage and mother warming services after birth. It is a joy to be of service in these ways!

Postpartum Doula (certification pending) with Doula Canada, Red Cross First Aid CPR/AED Level C, Food Safety Canada Certified, IPAC Certified, Certified Infant Massage Teacher by Little Kidz, former La Leche League Canada leader, Spa Therapy Certificate from the Vancouver School of Bodywork and Massage, and Death Doula Certified from Douglas College.
As a postpartum doula, I aim to support the healing of the birthing person, baby, and family with love,
connection, and presence. I consider the postpartum period sacred and feel comfortable exploring and
meeting each family’s unique needs and circumstances. I hope that with each visit, one feels supported,
empowered, and cared for. Through my own experiences as a birthing person to four, a mother, and a partner, I have been called to support, share knowledge, and advocate for young families, especially those who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, and medical treatments/interventions. I am also able to provide the healing art of touch and massage for adults and babies and incorporate these practices into postpartum visits, whether at home or in the hospital. Together, we can explore how I can support you and your family. I am open to short-term, long-term, and impromptu support.
I’m looking to support 3 birthing families in their postpartum period to complete my Doula Canada postpartum doula certificate. You will find more info. on the Salt Spring Exchange .
