Hi There! I am an experienced labour and delivery trained nurse with over three years of experience in perinatal care. My passion is to support the mother and baby dyads by reducing trauma in labour. I provide evidence-based childbearing education to create personalized birth plans, compassionate in-labour support, and at home postpartum recovery.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse specializing in Maternity Care, including Obstetrics, Labour & Delivery, and Postpartum Nursing, with more than 10 years of combined international midwifery and Canadian nursing experience. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, specialized perinatal nursing education from the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), and a Bachelor of Science in Midwifery from a well-known medical sciences university. I have maintained strong academic performance throughout my education. Throughout my career, I have supported thousands of mothers and newborns during pregnancy, labour, birth, postpartum recovery, and the early newborn period. As a registered midwife, I independently attended a large number of births and gained extensive experience managing both routine deliveries and complex or urgent obstetrical situations. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-informed, and safety-focused maternity care while helping mothers and families feel supported, informed, and confident during one of the most important stages of their lives. I am available to provide professional maternity and postpartum support with a strong commitment to maternal and newborn safety, comfort, and well-being.

Hi everyone, my name is Megan. I’m a birth and postpartum doula, trained through Doula School Canada, based in Surrey, BC. I’m deeply passionate about supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood. Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, or something in between, I offer steady, non-judgmental support with the goal of helping you feel confident, informed, and cared for throughout your experience. Alongside my doula work, I’ve been practicing henna/mehndi for several years and am now offering prenatal belly henna. If this is something you’re interested in, I’m currently offering it at a reduced rate as I begin working specifically with belly designs. I’m also in the process of completing my BA in Psychology, which allows me to bring a deeper understanding of emotional support, as well as knowledge of development and attachment, into the care I provide for both parents and babies. In addition to birth support, I offer postpartum care with flexible daytime and overnight availability to help you feel supported during those early weeks.

I’m a caring, calm, and practical family support provider with a diverse professional background in healthcare, childcare, aquatics, first aid, and community work. I spent 12 years working in healthcare with at-risk youth and older adults, and I’m currently completing my Full Spectrum Doula training through Doula School Canada, including postpartum care. I bring that combination of healthcare experience, safety knowledge, and hands-on family support into the way I care for both parents and children. My approach is very individual. I don’t believe there is one “right” way to parent, recover, feed a baby, build a routine, or support a child. I believe in meeting families where they are, listening before assuming, and helping people feel more confident in their own abilities rather than stepping in and trying to take over or “fix” things. Sometimes support means practical help, sometimes it means information or reassurance, and sometimes it means recognizing that someone is exhausted and needs a meal, a shower, a few uninterrupted hours of sleep, or simply another capable adult in the room. With children, I’m calm, creative, and very hands-on. I encourage age-appropriate independence, I’m patient about mistakes, happy to answer approximately nine million questions, and generally not bothered by a little mud, paint, flour, or chaos along the way. I also have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent children and youth and take an individualized, trauma-informed approach to communication, routines, sensory needs, and emotional regulation. Ultimately, I want the families I support to feel safe, respected, listened to, and more confident — not judged or managed. I bring a lot of professional knowledge into a home, but I never forget that it is your family, your values, and your life. My role is to support you in it.

Hi there, my name is Joann. I am deeply passionate about birth work and understand that each pregnancy and birth experience is unique. My goal is to provide evidence-informed care that empowers families to make the choices that feel right for them. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to support families in the language they feel most comfortable with. When I’m not supporting families, I’m busy with my three children and two Frenchton pups. I love connecting with people, sharing knowledge, and helping parents feel confident and supported during this transformative time.

Hi! I’m Laura, a mom, wife, friend and most importantly a follower of Jesus. I am a certified birth doula serving families across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland. My passion for birth began after the caesarean birth of my first son. The more I learned, the more deeply I fell in love with the process of labour and birth. In 2023, I experienced a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean) with my second son the most empowering moment of my life. This journey shaped the way I support families today. My heart and my goal are to ensure that every person involved in the birth feels seen, valued, and loved. I’m honoured to walk alongside you and look forward to learning more about your story and your journey.
