The stats are coming, but here are few highlights from the year!

🥰Supporting a client in postpartum recovery was a big win for cesarean families.

🥰Seeing a vaginal breech birth attended by the most calm, skilled midwives was incredible.

🥰Immense gratitude for my backup doulas .services



I needed them more than every before and my clients were in the best of hands

🥰A “near miss”! The most Hollywood birth I have ever been present for! Red lights! Running down hallways! It was something to remember!
-5 prenatal classes! The best group of families!

So many amazing memories with such lovely folks. I couldn’t be more thankful for the trust you all place with me.

Stay tuned for birth stats to come!

I don’t have too many photos of myself working.

At a birth recently with someone snapped this shot.

It doesn’t look like much, but this is what holding space for someone looks like. Holding a hand, quiet encouragement, and simple presence.

I’m so thankful for the privilege to be in this space.

On Thursday and Friday last week, my cup and heart were filled as I headed to Calgary to represent the at the conference.

It was a quick 24 hour trip but I was able to connect and meet my friends and colleagues in person after 4 years of meeting in online spaces.

I was also able to see friends who have become midwives and meet so many amazing folks from across Canada, many of whom asking “how is doula work accepted by the community and providers in Alberta?”

It was an amazing opportunity and I’m grateful to have been able to go.

Recently, I’ve been having all sorts of conversations about letting go.

Certainly, it’s not an uncommon thing to be told that surrender and letting go are required for birth, but that’s easier said than done.

If you are someone who has watched birth videos in preparation for your own birth, it may have caused worry at the sight of someone “losing control.” But that isn’t what is happening.

What comes with surrender is an ability to cope with the waves and intensity of labour.

The other part is when folks force it when their bodies aren’t telling them they need it. Vocalizing through rather than allowing their voice to groan as a primal urge.

Labour is most certainly a time to be IN your body.

The beautiful part about it is that in that specific circumstance, it is a private moment if you want it to be. While some folks do share their births publicly, it’s okay to keep It private.

You are the only one who will cope through birth the way you do-quietly or roaring through each wave.

At 7pm on this day, October 15, people all over the world will light candles to remember the sweet babies gone too soon.

This simple gesture is an effort to offer support to bereaved parents whose babies are in spirit and to raise awareness about infant and pregnancy loss.

It is a cruel reality that one in four experience.

“A miscarriage is a natural and common event. All told, probably more women have lost a child from this world than haven’t. Most don’t mention it, and they go on from day to day as if it hasn’t happened; So people imagine a woman a woman in this situation never really knew or loved what they had.

But ask her sometime: how old would your child be now? And she’ll know.”
-Barbara Kinsolver-

I’ll be lighting candles for baby O, baby J, baby K, and so many others who are not in this world, but stay in our hearts.

Hi friends,

2025 is coming close to an end and the 2026 baby announcements are rolling in.

With that, here’s my 2026 availability for anyone looking for doula support.

Please note that I’ll be taking some time in the spring to celebrate a milestone birthday for my husband, and I’ll be limiting July to just one birth followers by the month of August off.

Planned rest this year was monumental for a reset mentally and physically for me to continue showing up for you-I hope this doesn’t get in the way of your plans.

Thank you for trusting me as your doula 💜
