About me

Hi Families! I’m a certified birth and postpartum doula serving families across the GTA, with a strong presence in the Peel Region. I specialize in lactation and breastfeeding support, offering compassionate, evidence-based care to help families feel confident and supported throughout their journey into parenthood. My approach is rooted in the belief that there is no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to birth, feeding, or postpartum care. Every family is unique, and I take the time to understand your values, goals, and needs so I can provide personalized, respectful support that aligns with your vision. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating early feeding, or adjusting to life with a newborn, I’m here to walk alongside you with patience, warmth, and encouragement. Beyond my work as a doula, I’m a proud mother to my 8-year-old daughter, who continues to inspire my passion for supporting other families. In my free time, I enjoy expressing creativity through art and spending time gardening—both of which ground me and bring a sense of balance to the nurturing work I do. I’m honored to be part of such an important chapter in your life and look forward to supporting you every step of the way.

Service introduction

I offer comprehensive, personalized support to families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, with a specialized focus on breastfeeding and lactation. During the prenatal period, I provide education, preparation, and emotional support to help you feel informed and confident as you approach birth. This includes discussing your birth preferences, exploring comfort measures, understanding your options, and preparing you and your partner for the experience ahead. As your birth doula, I offer continuous physical, emotional, and informational support during labor and delivery. My role is to help you feel grounded, supported, and empowered—advocating for your needs while creating a calm and reassuring presence. I work alongside your care team to ensure you feel heard and respected throughout your birth experience. In the postpartum period, I focus on nurturing both you and your baby as you transition into this new chapter. This includes hands-on support with newborn care, helping you establish routines, providing guidance on recovery, and creating space for rest and healing. I am there to answer questions, ease anxieties, and offer practical support tailored to your family’s needs. I also specialize in breastfeeding and lactation support, helping you navigate feeding with confidence. Whether you are working on latching, building milk supply, pumping, or combination feeding, I provide evidence-based guidance and compassionate encouragement. My goal is to help you find a feeding approach that works best for you and your baby—without pressure or judgment. My services are rooted in the belief that every family is unique. I provide flexible, individualized care that honors your preferences, values, and circumstances, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.

Ciera supported our family with postpartum doula services 5 days a week for just over 4 months following the birth of our daughter, and what a difference she made. She is professional, dependable and quickly became well integrated within the household (our older children were always excited to see her!). She has such a way with babies, our daughter very quickly developed into a sound overnight sleeper. We were also grateful that she worked with us to ensure we could be reimbursed through Carrot insurance. I would recommend Ciera to any expecting parent who is looking for calm guidance, professional support and loving care for their newborns.

Ciera was exactly the energy I needed. Prenatal, she listened attentively, allowed for me to lead, and jumped in proactively when I needed. Showed up on time during labor and stayed with me overnight at home and hospital, providing the calm energy I needed, adding to my birth experience and ensuring its a positive one. I am so grateful for her time and expertise, and highly recommend her doula services.

Ciera was our birth doula as well as postpartum support doula, specifically overnight support. Ciera is a calm and measured presence, we were thankful for her explanations and reassurance throughout a very long and stressful labour. She is very knowledgeable and has provided us with invaluable support with our newborn in the weeks since bringing him home. We’re very thankful for her knowledge and support and recommend her services.

We had the pleasure of working with Ciera as our doula, and we can’t speak highly enough of the care and support she provided throughout our journey. From the very beginning, Ciera’s kindness, warmth, and calm presence put us at ease. She was not only incredibly sweet and compassionate, but also extremely knowledgeable, guiding us with confidence and answering every question we had along the way. Ciera’s support during labor and delivery was invaluable—she took exceptional care of my wife and was deeply attentive to both her physical and emotional needs. Her dedication continued after the birth, ensuring our newborn was also well cared for and that we felt empowered and supported as new parents. We are truly grateful for Ciera’s presence during such a special and vulnerable time. Any family would be lucky to have her by their side. Highly recommended!

She was great, came in and provided tips and information that made things so much easier for me. Additionally, got my son to sleep 5 hours overnight while she meal prepped for me. Absolutely amazing !

Ciera is the best! I worked with her leading up to and during the delivery of my first baby. I felt strongly about wanting to have an unmedicated birth but was very nervous about it and wasn’t sure I would be confident enough to go through with it. I was also having my baby at a hospital that does not typically have many unmediated births so I was also nervous that I would not be able to advocate for myself. Ciera worked with me to prepare for labour by meeting with me at my home and a few times virtually as well. She showed me different exercises and stretches I could do to prepare my body for labour by opening up my pelvis and encouraging baby to descend. She could tell what positions/exercises I was comfortable with and which ones probably wouldn’t work for me and was able to adjust her recommendations to my comfort level. She was also familiar with the hospital I was going to and their processes and gave me great suggestions for things to bring up with my OB ahead of my delivery to ensure my wishes were known. We talked a lot about the birth process and I felt very informed and knew what to expect (as much as one can who had never experienced childbirth). I ended up unexpectedly being induced about a week before my due date. Ciera was in the room with me and my husband just in time as I ended up having a VERY fast labour. She showed my husband different ways to apply pressure and support me during contractions. As labour was progressing, I knew exactly what was happening because the sensations were exactly as she had described in our prep sessions. I ended up having the unmedicated birth I hoped for and it really couldn’t have gone any better. Ciera was a huge reason why. I cannot thank her enough for all of her help during the most incredible and vulnerable moments of our lives. If you are looking for someone very knowledgeable, relatable, supportive and someone who will instill confidence in your ability to bring your baby safely into this world, I would HIGHLY recommend working with Ciera!

I have nothing but nice things to say about Ciera the Doula. As a first time mom, I didn’t realize how difficult breastfeeding would be. I remember being at the point of completely giving up (after struggling to latch for 3 weeks) until I came across Ciera. She instantly set up an appointment for us to meet, she answered all of my questions and made me feel confident in my breastfeeding journey. I appreciate the fact that I can always contact her with any questions I may have. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a lactation consultant and doula. Thank you Ciera for helping this nervous first time mom!

I hired Ciera for lactation services for a friend who was a first time mom. She was proactive in her approach with my friend and got in contact with her before baby was due. Her calm and nurturing demeanor really help first time moms feel at ease during such a sensitive period. When my friend was having lactation difficulties she went in person to her home to assist her until those issues were resolved. I would definitely recommend Ciera in the future and was truly happy with her services.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ciera! She is incredibly knowledgeable and an absolute expert in her field. As my mentor, she has been both patient and informative, graciously taking me under her wing to teach me birth and postpartum doula skills. Her ability to share her expertise in such an approachable and empathetic way has made a huge impact on my learning journey. What truly sets her apart is her genuine connection with clients. She exudes empathy, passion, and an amazing intuition that allows her to anticipate and meet her clients' needs. Watching her work has been an inspiring experience, and I aspire to embody the same level of professionalism and care in my own journey and practice. I am so grateful to have her as my mentor—she is a source of wisdom and inspiration, and I wouldn’t trade her guidance for anything.

Her calm demeanour, insightful knowledge and availability helped me through it and prevented me from going into a tail spin.

Review: I hired Ciera to support my friend during her pregnancy, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience! From the very beginning, Ciera was warm, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to listen to every concern and ensured my friend felt empowered and informed every step of the way. Ciera’s calming presence made such a difference, especially during the more emotional moments. She provided not only physical support but also emotional reassurance, which meant everything. Her dedication went above and beyond—offering personalized care, helpful resources, and constant encouragement. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and goes the extra mile, Ciera is the one. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants an exceptional doula experience. My friend couldn’t stop raving about how supported she felt, and I’m so happy I chose Ciera!
