Supporting women to birth with confidence, calm and strength 💛

“Your baby is measuring big”

It’s something so many parents hear!

But here’s the thing:
estimating baby’s size in the womb is notoriously inaccurate 😳

In fact, these measurements can be off by a pound (or more!) in either direction 🤯

“Big baby” (or suspected large baby) is one of the common reasons for concern near the end of pregnancy, but it doesn’t always reflect reality! 💛

Bodies are wise. Babies come in all sizes. And your care should always be based on the full picture, not just a number on a screen.

Take a breath, ask questions, and remember: this is just one piece of information, not the whole story 💛

Birth is powerful and deeply vulnerable ✨

In those moments, support isn’t just helpful, it’s essential!

Support can look like a steady hand, calm reassurance, someone who can tune into your needs when words feel hard to find. It’s about feeling safe, seen, and never alone 💛

You deserve that kind of support in your birth space!

If you’re looking for a calm, supportive presence for your journey, I’d love to walk alongside you 💛

Finally got around to watching Lizzie’s birth scene in Virgin River and WOW! 💛

So often, birth scenes are rushed, overly dramatic, or completely disconnected from what real, supported birth can look like. This one was different in the best possible way!

The midwifery care stood out to me. There was calm, steady guidance, respect for the process, and a clear trust in Lizzie’s body. No unnecessary urgency, no overpowering energy! Just presence, reassurance, and skill 💛

The partner support? Exactly what we hope for. Grounded, attentive, and emotionally available. Not trying to “fix” anything, but simply being there offering comfort, encouragement, and connection when it mattered most 👌🏻

And what I loved most about this scene was how Lizzie used her voice! She expressed what she needed, what she wanted, and how she was feeling.. and it was respected! That’s what true support looks like. Informed, empowered, and heard ✨

This is the kind of birth narrative I wish more people experienced! One where care providers collaborate, partners show up with intention, and the birthing person is at the center of it all 💛

As your doula, this is exactly the kind of birth experience I want to help you create 💛 A birth experience where you feel supported, respected, and deeply confident in your choices. Whether that means hands-on comfort, helping your partner feel prepared, or advocating for your preferences, I’m there to help you feel held every step of the way 💛

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to participate in a placenta encapsulation training with ! 🌼

Not only did we learn HOW to do it, but we also received the equipment to provide placenta encapsulation in Ottawa!!

✨So what is placenta encapsulation?✨

Placenta encapsulation is when your placenta is prepared into capsules that you take postpartum, kind of like a natural supplement made just for you ✨

Many parents choose encapsulation for potential benefits like:

• Supporting postpartum recovery
• Boosting energy levels
• Helping balance hormones
• Supporting milk supply
• Easing mood fluctuations

Curious if it’s right for you? Let’s chat! 💛

Not a snack, but still very satisfying 😉

✨Meet the peanut ball✨

One of birth’s most underrated MVPs! This funky looking inflatable can do some pretty amazing things during labour.

A peanut ball is most often placed between the labouring person’s legs while resting in bed (often in a side-lying position). It can help:

✨Open the pelvis
✨Encourage baby to rotate into a better position
✨Support progress in labour
✨Keep the pelvis active even while resting

Basically, it helps create space where space is needed!

Bonus: this little peanut-shaped powerhouse is included with our birth pool rentals 😉 Check out for more info on our rentals!

✨Let’s talk about breast pumps✨

Breast pumps aren’t one-size-fits-all!

Knowing your options ahead of time can make postpartum feel a little more supported and a lot less overwhelming. Here are some of the more conventional options!

✨ Silicone collectors
Gentle suction, no motor. Great for catching letdown on the opposite side during feeds or building a small stash without actively pumping.

✨ Manual pumps
Hand-powered and simple. Quiet, portable, and helpful for occasional pumping, relieving engorgement, or when you don’t want to set up a full pump.

✨ Wearable pumps
Cord-free and discreet. Fit inside your bra and allow more movement. Very helpful for busy parents, though suction and output can vary.

✨ Plug-in / electric pumps
Often the most efficient for establishing or maintaining supply. Commonly used for regular pumping, returning to work, or exclusive pumping.

As a doula, I help families talk through which tools actually fit their feeding goals, lifestyle, and postpartum plan 💛

✨ Informed choice is the goal ✨

Refusing every intervention out of fear
is the same as accepting every intervention out of fear.

Birth isn’t about “all yes” or “all no”! It’s about understanding your options, your values, and your body .

As a doula, I support you with education before birth and help you navigate decisions in the moment, so fear doesn’t get to lead 💛

POV: You thought a doula was just for birth, but she’s also your feeding hype woman ✨

At my recent event SO many of moms asked if I support with lactation (and infant feeding in general!).

The answer is YES, I do offer non-medical support with breastfeeding or bottle feeding 💛

Here’s what that can look like:

✨Helping you get comfy + confident during feeds
✨Gentle guidance with latch basics (no clinical pressure)
✨ Supporting pumping + combo feeding routines
✨Reading baby’s hunger/fullness cues together
✨Holding space for the emotions that come with feeding
✨Including partners so no one feels left out
✨Creating calm, cozy feeding vibes

Whether it’s breast, bottle, or both, fed with support feels different 💛

Drop your feeding questions below or DM me!

My heart is full after my first as a vendor 💛

So many meaningful conversations, beautiful connections, and the absolute joy of seeing former birth clients with their newborns.

Moments like these are why I do this work 💛

When you hear the word birth, what comes to mind?✨

Fear, strength, uncertainty, empowerment?

Our beliefs about birth are shaped by personal experiences, stories we’ve heard, and the support we expect to receive. As a doula, my role is to provide evidence-based information, continuous support, and a calm, grounded presence so you feel informed, supported, and heard throughout your journey 💛
