Summary

As a postpartum Doula the main goals are to help “mother the mother” and nurture the entire family as they transition into life with a newborn. This would include doing things to help mom and family feel more confident in their roles, sharing education on family adjustment, and tending to the unique needs of a new mother.

I am a mother of three and a proud Mimi of one!

I have over five years of Labour Doula experience as well as being a Montessori teacher for 9 years for ages 18 month-6 years old.

I love working with women during the whole childbirth process and the beginnings of motherhood. I have experience with breast feeding, infant massage and postpartum massage.
