Doula, Lactation Support, Parent Educator, Doula Trainer, Certified Coach

I am a lifelong learner, mother of three and wife to one. I have been active in supporting families my whole life. As a doula for over 25 years, birth has taught me so many lessons. My passion for birth and breastfeeding led me to forge a career in family centred care and I have gone on to become certified as a Trauma Coach, A Certified Becoming Us Family Facilitator, A Certified Relationship Coach and a Compassion Coach. I am continuing my studies in Interpersonal Neurobiology and Movement for Trauma. As a doula trainer, I feel fortunate to meet many individuals from different walks of life, eager to share their own passion for family centred care. My children have been my biggest life lessons and continue to teach me every day, even in their adulthood. I believe we are wired to connect and grow, no matter our age and am so fortunate to be part of such a dynamic team here at Babies Naturally.

Doula, Lactation Support, Educator

I am in the fortunate position to be able to say that I absolutely love what I do! I have worked with many families over the last several years as a childbirth educator, lactation support and labour support, and continue to upgrade my skills and knowledge yearly. I am passionate about birth, empowerment and support for families, and truly want couples to know that they have a choice in their birth. I am happily married to a wonderful man and we have three children. With three very different birth experiences, I feel I can add insight and support to any situation. I look forward to meeting you and sharing the miracle of pregnancy and birth with your family!
