You feel it in your bones. You want a different birth experience.
You already know you don’t want the birth story everyone else seems to be having.
You don’t want birth to just happen to you. You want to understand what’s happening, make your own decisions, and feel confident saying yes, no, or not yet.
You don’t want to be coerced or pressured. You want to be able to ask, “Okay, is this actually necessary? What are my options?” and have someone you trust help you work through it.
You want to stay connected to the natural physiological process from pregnancy through birth and into those first days with your baby. And you want to know what your choices are actually anchored in, so they come from your values, your intuition, and what matters to you most.
Maybe you’ve been looking for someone who actually gets that.
That’s where I come in.
I’ll walk beside you, help you understand your choices, and be your touchstone when you need to pause, question, and make a decision that feels right for you.
You don’t need someone to tell you how to birth. You need someone who will help you stay grounded, clear, and connected to yourself while you do it.
How I walk with you through it all…
I am a truth teller, so in other words, I don’t BS you. You are supported in knowing why things happen from policy to physiology and everything in-between, and I guide you how to move with through it all with confidence and rooted in your beliefs and values. When you work with me you will..
Understand what’s happening in your body from a holistic perspective top to bottom
Build confidence and find YOUR voice (dad too!) so fear doesn’t override your choices.
Prepare in pregnancy in your body and nervous system, because preparation is the key to creating and changing experience.
Break down the medical language and policies so you can advocate for yourself clearly and with your own authority.
Support your partner in the moment so they feel equipped, not frozen and they know what to do and where to go, especially in the case of unexpected circumstances.
Create a birth environment that supports your nervous system and your vision.
Use plant medicine that actually nourishes you and addresses the root problem, not just trendy surface level solutions.
Help you stick to your goals! From vaginal birth to breastfeeding or whatever goals make sense for you and your family.
Bring a motherly nourishment to our time together. I am both kind and soft, and firm when needed. Think of me as a homemaking 90s mom with a no BS attitude, hence the business name.

Bonus Classes
Take the guesswork out of early parenthood. Comfort Measures 101 is designed to show parents how to work as a team during labor—teaching partners exactly how to be hands-on, helpful, and supportive so no one feels useless. Mom also learns what positions, techniques, and supports feel best for her, making labor more comfortable, confident, and connected. Breastfeeding 101 covers everything from latch and positioning to troubleshooting common challenges.
My classes will help you feel prepared and supported from day one. This private opportunity for intentional, and devoted time to your family gives you a clear blueprint, and allows you both to build confidence, and set your family up to navigate birth and the early weeks with calm, clarity, and teamwork.
Bundle and Save!
Most new parents start out feeling like they don’t know what the hell they’re doing. You wonder: Is this normal? Is my baby okay? Why am I crying again? Every question leads to ten more, Google searches spiral, and anxiety builds until it feels like your brain might explode. Sleep deprivation steals your patience. Your partner wants to help, but doesn’t know how, leaving both of you exhausted, frustrated, and a little lost. Meanwhile, the house is a disaster, meals are skipped, laundry piles up, and it feels like life is just surviving until someone else gets home.
It doesn’t have to be this way. With your postpartum support bundled with birth care, you can step into a completely different experience. This is the kind of support that protects your peace, honors your recovery, and nourishes your family. You have a trusted, skilled guide showing up to:
• Help you heal faster and feel nourished in body and mind
• Prepare meals and snacks so your family actually eats well
• Keep the house gently managed so you can focus on rest and bonding
• Provide hands-on newborn care guidance and emotional reassurance
• Answer those burning questions, normalize what’s happening, and help you navigate the uncertainty
• Offer optional herbal and energy healing to support body and spirit
Picture this instead: you have a quiet cup of tea while your baby naps, lunch is ready, dinner is prepped to pop in the oven, and the house feels calmer. You can take a shower, step outside, or spend time with older children, knowing someone you trust has everything under control. Your partner can breathe easier too, knowing you’re supported and that the overwhelm is not all on them.
This isn’t indulgence. It’s a blueprint for success in the first month, a way to reduce anxiety, prevent burnout, protect your mental health, and give your family a strong start. It’s the difference between chaos and calm, exhaustion and restoration, surviving and actually enjoying life with your newborn.
And the best part? When you bundle your birth and postpartum support, you save 20% and secure continuity of care from pregnancy through your first month at home. You get guidance, nourishment, and peace of mind, so you can finally stop surviving and start thriving.
Your Questions, Answered
-
I’m going to tell you a secret / not a secret at all. I call myself Doula but I really am a Birth Keeper deep down. A Birth Keeper is someone who holds and protects the honour of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period so that women can follow their instincts, listen to their body, and choose their choices without unnecessary interference. We believe and trust that a women’s body was deigned to birth her baby.
The typical response to this question is that a Doula supports women emotionally, physically, and informationally, but here’s what I want you to know.
I am not a medical professional. I’m not a midwife or an OB.
I care for my clients by providing guidance, information, and education on pregnancy, birth preparation, labour and birth, postpartum healing and wellness, breastfeeding, and motherhood.
I teach my clients to find their own voice to advocate for their wants and needs in their health care.
I help my clients connect as partners to welcome their baby into the world together.
I physically support labouring women with hip squeezes, massage, hugs, contraction positions, and hand-over-hand support for breastfeeding.
I resource my clients to navigate the medical system when necessary.
I help them feel grounded in hoping for the best and planning for the rest!
-
My theory is the sooner the better. The earlier we are connected the more access you have to me. Why wait to have someone in your corner?
Booking your doula early gives you peace of mind and allows you to build a relationship with me.
When my schedule permits, I have space for emergency Doula services. Inquire within.
-
Yes! I follow you where you will go. That being said, I do not shy away from informing you about the risks and benefits of each option.
-
Continuous support means I am there when you want me to be until you’re tucked in with your baby. This timeline is different for every woman. I arrive and assess where you’re at in your journey and we will make a plan to help labour progress. My support also looks like comfort measures, position suggestions, encouragement, grounding, feeding you, hydration, etc.
Partners need help too! I help them figure out what to do and how to be most helpful. I keep them grounded and calm, even when they appear to be strong on the outside. Most men want to be involved, but don’t know how, so that’s my job to keep them off the bench and in the game.
-
Yes! After your baby is born, I will make sure you are OK! Most women don’t think about giving birth to their placenta, and possible repair of vaginal tissue as something that is a part of the birthing experience. Not to mention clean-up! Birth can be messy. All while tending to your newborn and helping them latch for the first time.
I like to tell parents that. Once you’re ready to rest, I will head home.
-
I support clients in the Peterborough and Kawarthas area, Durham region, and Northumberland, but can travel outside of these regions in the spring to fall. In the winter months I like to stay closer to home to ensure proper service.
I do charge a $25 / day travel fee for Postpartum clients outside of Peterborough by 25 km.
Deposit + Payment Plans
-
Deposit
In order to secure your spot, I do require a 50% deposit and signed contract before we begin service.
-
Payment Plans
My Doula services are an investment and I offer my clients payment plan options depending on their needs and the time we have to work together. Booking earlier helps spread things out over the course of our care together.
-
Sliding Scale
I often have space for sliding scale clients and barter opportunities on a first come first served basis and I always evaluate my capacity to provide. If payment is an issue, please indicate on your application and we will do our best to work together.
