All babies of all ages are welcome at this hands on, in-person workshop. Bring your baby’s favourite blanket & join us in Waterford for a time of connection and intention with your little one.

Perhaps your baby is having some latch issues, or maybe they don’t p**p everybody. Trapped gas, fussiness or limited mobility are also all good reasons to join us. Together we’ll learn simple movements and stretches you can do with your baby every day to help them feel better in their body.

If you’d like, stay after the workshop and receive a cranial sacral therapy treatment for just $20.

Location: Waterford
Date: Sunday, February 1st
Time: 11am

Taught by a veteran mom of two & professional doula for over a decade. Brittany will lead you through a fun, informative class designed to prep you for life with a newborn.

Together, we’ll discuss all of the “is this normal” type questions that come up in the first couple of weeks with your newborn, as well as fundamentals for infant feeding, sleep guidance & navigating your physical and emotional recovery.

A local resource list will be provided for easy access to all of the practitioners you or your baby may need to see during this transformative time.

No more googling for you! Brittany is your go-to gal for all newborn & early postpartum related questions before, during & after this class.

$99 (partners are welcome to attend!)

I don’t believe in coincidences when it comes to birth. The concept of “pain” or intensity is easier to process when we have time in between to rest & reset. Each wave of a contraction lasts approximately 60 seconds long, followed by sometimes 5 mins of feeling nothing at all. In my experience, the people that use the 5 mins to relax their muscles, take a micro nap or eat a quick snack are way more likely to withstand the intensity of labour than those that remain tense & tight. Labour is a beautiful, messy dance you have to work WITH, not against. We often need reminders of that in labour, so if you’re looking to add a doula to your team, we’d love to chat!

Last night I got to celebrate this truly amazing team. It was our 4th annual Christmas dinner and this time we switched it up a little. Instead of going to a restaurant, we all sat around my table and ordered a meal to share. We also did a homemade gift exchange! Everyone brought something curated with their hands for everyone on the team & it was so cool to see our creativity. From handmade ornaments to elderberry syrup and cookies, it really did feel like Christmas morning. Full bellies, some tears and a lot of laughs, everyone left & I felt a renewed energy for why I’ve worked so hard to bring THIS team together. A team that is passionate, rooted in community and the absolute best at meeting people where they’re at. I couldn’t be more proud. For most of us, 2025 was complex and we are all very much looking forward to a connected new year. Together we served almost 60 birth clients & over 25 postpartum families. And now more than ever, I’m excited for the love & support we’ll bring to more families next year. Missing in action was our OG, loyal friend Alice. It wasn’t quite the same without you ♥️

Being a doula is so much more than cuddling babies. It’s even more than witnessing the miracle of life! For me, it’s the impactful conversations that happen in birth prep when we uncover some buried fears. Or the unprompted script when you feel like you have nothing left to give in labour. It’s the calling you out when you’re self sabotaging or resource sourcing when breastfeeding is too much. It’s the low key cheerleading and necessary validation when your mom can’t be there for you. The middle of the night chats, the “talk me off this ledge” chat or the “please don’t judge me” chat (which by the way, I don’t). Doula work is tough sometimes. It calls for complex conversations that couldn’t possibly be black and white, asking hard questions and a lot of listening. So if you’re looking for a friend, a sister, even a motherly figure with a good sense of humour but definitely won’t sugar coat it; I might be your girl.

Lately, I’ve had so many mothers reach out for help—often with an apology.
 ✨ “I’ve waited so long for this baby, I shouldn’t be struggling.”
 ✨ “My husband needs rest, I feel bad needing support.”

But here’s the truth:
We were never meant to do motherhood alone.
 For generations, women leaned on sisters, maidens & seasoned mothers to raise babies together.
This is why I feel so called to postpartum work.
 💛 If you don’t have a village—welcome to ours.
