Words are powerful.

Sometimes, my clients just want me to listen, so they can vent and be heard. Other times, some advice with compassion is most appreciated.

It’s a balance but an honour to be a witness and invited guest into these moments.

As we wrap up 2025...

I’m taking some time to gather, celebrate and nest it up with my loved ones and kitties.

I’m so grateful for:
– my incredible clients that invited me into their lives this year

– my doula & community pals that refer people my way, and that I can laugh, learn & debrief with

– my loved ones that I can lean on & that take care of me during the ups & downs of navigating this world as a doula/small biz owner + big feeling human

⭐ I’ll be off from: December 22nd-December 28th ⭐

Here’s to embracing more slowness and wishing you all comfort & joy this holiday season + 2026.

Keri 💚❄️

“10 Ways to Navigate the Holidays as a New Parent”

Did you recently welcome a little one? Congrats!
The holiday season may look a little different for you this year - and that’s ok!

I dive into taking care of your needs, boundaries, expectations, and capacities as your family grows around the holidays.

Because who couldn’t use some help with their boundary game this time of year? ❄️🎄

“Fa la la la laa, keep your judgements to yourself!” 🎶

The festive season can be jolly, but it can also bring something NOT on your wish list: unsolicited “advice”!

Whether you’re pregnant, or you just welcomed a baby, here’s some handy responses as my gift to you:

🎁 “I get that worked for you, but we’re excited about the birth plan we have.”

🎁 “We’re choosing to not have visitors in the first 6 weeks. Thanks for understanding.”

🎁 “Every family is different. What works for one doesn’t work for another, and that’s ok.”

🎁 “We won’t be doing that.”

🎁 “I think your intentions are good, but that isn’t helpful.”

🎁 “I’m choosing to only focus on positive birth stories during my pregnancy. Thanks for being mindful of this.”

🎁 “I’m not looking for input on this. Right now I could just use [insert what you’re needing].”

🎁 If all else fails: know your limits and walk away - from the conversation, or if needed, the gathering.

Only you can decide what’s right for your birth and your parenting journey. You don’t owe anyone an explanation.
Period.

Honour your choices and boundaries - and leave the lumps of coal for the people on the naughty list. 🎅

Client Love 💚

Sharing some kind words from an amazing birth client (and friend, plus upcoming repeat client!)

Being invited to share this chapter with my friend and powerhouse of a mother, was really incredible.

✨Extra magic: having a mini doula buddy present for their siblings’ birth was so beautiful and sweet to witness. 🥰

It’s a winter wonderland out there, hope everyone’s keeping cozy!

Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that it's December 🙃

❄️ A friendly reminder that I’m currently accepting birth clients with January 2026 due dates and beyond.

❄️ I have December availability for daytime and overnight postpartum clients.

❄️ Don’t live in London? I've got virtual offerings including birth support and 1hr Doula Calls!

I always recommend folks reach out sooner than later to book, as my availability changes frequently.

Also, the earlier you book allows us to build a stronger connection, and you can receive even more support! 🙌

Consults are always free and held virtually.

Who’s ready to give themselves the gift of SLEEP?! 😴

A few years ago, I saw that there was a gap in London ON for overnight support - so I knew it was time to change that!

This popular doula service focuses on sleep, so that you can finally have that full night’s rest you need.

I take care of your baby’s feeds (or bring to you for a feed as needed), diapers, and soothe them back to sleep too.

I can also help with:

✅ Light cleaning (eg. laundry & dishes)
✅ Newborn care & routines
✅ Answering questions & problem solving
✅ Community referrals & resources
✅ Emotional support
✅ Snack & meal prep

How amazing does this sound?!

DM or book your free consult today & get the support you deserve tomorrow!
