Driftwood Doula Care

Supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the first year of parenthood. My name is Liz Burns, Doula and Owner of Driftwood Doula Care. I am here.

I offer childbirth education, birth coaching, and support to parents during their infant's first year of life. Prior to becoming a doula, my background was in Psychology, mental health & addictions research, HR, mindfulness training, and, motherhood. I have always been fascinated by pregnancy & birth. Several things led me to realize that I was passionate about supporting people in their journey to parenthood: the births of my two children, my experience of two miscarriages, my experiences navigating the healthcare system, the stories I heard from others about their journeys to parenthood, and my personal experiences with anxiety. I am in the process of completing my certification with Doula Training Canada, and have been supporting clients since September 2022. I founded Driftwood Doula in November 2022. I want to support families in having a positive, empowering, and transformative journey to parenthood. I am an insightful communicator and I think deeply about things that are said to me. I am passionate about enabling my clients to feel heard and understood. I am organized, creative, candid, and proactive. Please reach out to me with any questions you have. You do not have to muddle through this unsupported.
