Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Galiano Island, BC

Hello! My name is Tiffany and I'm originally from Saskatchewan. I'm now located close to Surrey\Langley but serve surrounding areas as well I am a Doula School Canada trained full spectrum doula (birth\ postpartum doula, fertility Doula and infant and pregnancy loss supporter) currently working towards my certification. The one thing that stuck out for me so much was going back in time and realizing Doula’s have always been around! They were mothers, sisters, friends, aunts, grandmothers and communities. Doulas are support, they are there for YOU. They are your advocates, your comfort, your guide and the one beside you rooting for you. As a Doula, my priority is for you to feel supported and empowered throughout any stage your at. Everyone’s journey through fertility, birth, postpartum or loss will look very different. Whether you have a big support system helping you or your rocking it solo, I’ll be there to help you and your support people make informed decisions. I’m all-inclusive so however you identify, or whoever your family is, is always welcome! Being apart of any of this journey with you is special and I will never judge you for any decisions. Whichever path you choose or your taking, I’ll always come with an open ear, a calm presence, a non-judgmental view to support and help you get the knowledge you need. The story is uniquely yours, I’m there to be a witness.

I have lived in the West Shore area of Victoria, BC (specifically Metchosin) for my entire life. My whole family is here and I love that I can spend so much time with them. I am extremely family-oriented and spend the majority of my free time with them. I live with my partner and our two young children in a beautiful home only a few minutes away from Victoria General Hospital (convenient!). I consider myself to be an introvert and love all things quiet! Reading, writing, painting, watching movies or my favourite binge-able TV shows (talk to me about 'New Girl' and you'll have a friend for life! #Nick&JessForever). Also a big-time Disney adult (no shame). I love all things Disney, especially DISNEYLAND. I can (and will) go on about it for hours. Don't get me started if you want me to stop at some point. I have always (literally always. Since I was a young child.) been fascinated by pregnancy and the birth experience. While other students dreaded the infamous "sex talk", I counted down the days. While other students were mortified during family planning class to watch a woman give birth, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. How incredible. How miraculous. Still, I never gave much thought to how I could work it into my own life, apart from "I really want to be a mom some day. I can't wait to experience this for myself.". I graduated from Belmont Senior Secondary in 2013 and have done a variety of jobs since then. Retail, fast food, grocery stores, even a call centre (for a week- that was not for me). In 2016, I started the Community, Family, and Child Studies program at Camosun College and discovered my love for helping people. The field I was happiest in was in childcare. I obtained my ECEA in 2018 and have worked in various daycares, as a private in-home nanny, and at before and after school programs ever since. In 2023, I obtained my ECE certificate from Pacific Rim Early Childhood Institute and went on to be the room lead at a 3-5 preschool, and then onto becoming a part of the management team at a brand new trauma-informed Indigenous childcare centre. I was part of the grand opening there and was so fortunate to receive some incredible learning about various Indigenous cultures, languages, history, etc. as well as trauma-informed training. However, since becoming a mom, I have realized just how challenging a job in childcare is when you have young kids at home. It's A LOT. I decided I needed a change in careers and I thought, how cool would it be if I could turn my passion, values, and interests into a career? After I accompanied one of my dear friends during the birth of her first child, I knew exactly what that career should be. That experience was so eye-opening in so many ways. First of all- what a beautiful and miraculous moment! I could watch a mother meet her new baby for the first time a million times and never get tired of it. Second, I saw first-hand what was missing in the hospital during her experience- and that was personalized and compassionate care, unwavering emotional support, and someone to make sure she was fully aware of what was happening to her during those scary moments. After that, I immediately started looking into Doula courses and fell in love with it. This is what I was meant to do. This is my calling. The ability to provide support and care to mothers, fathers, parents, and families in these life-changing moments is an honour that is not lost on me. I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to do what I love and to love what I do. Thank you so much for allowing me into your homes, your lives, and your sacred space. And for taking the time to get to know a little bit about me. I can't wait to get to know you too!

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.

I am based in North Vancouver, married, and have two rambunctious boys aged 5 and 8. Having been through the incredible breastfeeding journey myself, (though at times its has been like more of a rollercoaster!) I have an understanding of the challenges you may be facing as new or seasoned parents with your feeding journey. Remember that when we are told 'It comes naturally', this doesn't always mean, 'it comes easily!' That's the hard truth and something I can definitely relate to. ​ Over the years, I have supported hundreds of families discover the joys of breast feeding. Through my work with newborn and premature infants, I realized how vital this education is not just in those precious first days, but in the many subsequent months ahead. This is my calling and being able to support my community in this way brings me joy.

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’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.
