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.

I am a mother of two children, both of whom I delivered naturally in China and breastfed personally. Through my own hands-on experience, I have developed extensive practical knowledge of newborn care, breastfeeding, infant feeding, sleep routines, and child development. I am able to provide new mothers with practical guidance and support during the early stages of newborn care, especially for first-time parents who may need help and reassurance as they adjust to life with a new baby. I am fluent in English and have a strong understanding of child development and child psychology. I believe in evidence-based parenting and age-appropriate feeding practices, while also adapting to each baby's individual needs and temperament. I am currently completing the later stage of my MBA, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate different work arrangements. I am responsible, patient, attentive to detail, and bring both extensive parenting knowledge and real-life hands-on experience caring for infants and children.
