Find a Newborn Care Specialist Near Me in Delta, BC

Hi, I’m Laurie I’m so excited to be providing birth and postpartum care. I believe that good support early on means better outcomes for everyone in the family. Birth is a sacred, transformative time in your life—one that deserves to be protected, supported, and celebrated. As a mother to four kids (now aged 12 to 22!), I know firsthand how deeply impactful the transition into parenthood is, and how much the right support matters. I completed my professional training through the Douglas College Doula Training Program in June 2026 and am certified to support all types of birth, postpartum journeys, and pregnancy loss. My goal is to provide a calm, steady, trauma informed and completely non-judgmental presence for your entire family as you navigate these major life changes. Before answering this calling, I spent years caring for people in different ways. I worked as a hairstylist from home while my children were small, and later ran a cozy home bakery for eight years. Today, I weave all of those unique caregiving skills into my doula work—whether that means braiding your hair during labor, baking a nourishing treat for your kitchen counter, or simply holding space so you feel taken care of. When I’m not supporting growing families, you can find me walking the local trails, tending to the plants in my yard, getting lost in a good book, or enjoying time with my family. And yes, if you caught the nod in my business name—I am a massive, long-time fan of ‘Call the Midwife’.

I am a birth and postpartum doula serving families in and around Oak Harbor, WA. I passionately believe in the power of birth and trusting your body to birth your baby. My focus is family-centered and instinctual care. Whether you are looking to give birth in a hospital, birth center, or in your home, I am here to support you through it, in whatever way that feels good for you! Emotional support, physical support, a listening ear, a hand to hold, I'm here for all of it! I also offer lifestyle and birth photography!

I’m a caring and dependable caregiver currently in nursing school with hands-on clinical experience as a certified medical assistant. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I bring both medical knowledge and real-life parenting experience as a mother of three children. My background allows me to provide attentive, safety-focused care while remaining calm and confident in a variety of situations, including overnight support. I specialize in supporting families during the postpartum and newborn stages, offering not only newborn care but also gentle reassurance and practical help for new mothers as they recover and adjust. I’m happy to assist with light household tasks such as tidying, bottle prep, and baby laundry to help ease the load during the night shift. My goal is to create a calm, supportive environment so parents can rest knowing both mom and baby are well cared for.
