Laine Ferguson

Hi, I’m Laine (she/her)! I am a full-spectrum doula, plant lover, and mom of two incredible little humans. My own journey - welcoming my first child in 2018, experiencing pregnancy loss, and later giving birth to my second in 2023 - deeply shaped my path and passion for birth work. Both of my births were supported by wonderful doulas, and their steady presence inspired me to offer the same kind of care to others. As your doula, I provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support to help you feel nurtured, empowered, prepared, and cared for - no matter how or where you choose to give birth. I love working with new parents and growing families, and I hold space for the wide range of emotions and transformations that come with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My approach blends compassionate emotional and physical support with practical tools like childbirth education and baby wearing guidance. I’m also passionate about birth photography and love capturing the beauty and power of labour, birth, and those magical first moments together. Through my practice, I offer in-person Labour & Birth Doula support, Childbirth Education, Birth Photography, and Birth Equipment Rentals for families in Nelson, BC and across the West Kootenays. I also support families from afar with Virtual Prenatal & Childbirth Education, 1:1 Virtual Birth Planning, and options that make doula care more accessible when local support just isn’t available, or financially do-able. When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me tending to my plants, playing up at Whitewater, or keeping up with life alongside my two kiddos. Certifications and Trainings: Maternal Support Practitioner – Full Spectrum Doula Training (Bebo Mia) Essence of Birth Photography (Birth Becomes You) Childbirth Educator Training (Bebo Mia) Advanced VBAC Doula Certification (The VBAC Link) First Aid & CPR-C/AED (The Lifesaving Society) IPAC Training (Provincial Infection Control Network) I’m also an approved provider under BC’s Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant Program, meaning my services may be eligible at low-cost or no-cost. The Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant Program (DAFGP) is offered by the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres, Provincial Health Services Authority, and the BC Ministry of Health. The goal of the program is to increase healthy birth outcomes for Indigenous families by removing the cost barrier to accessing doula services.

Many parents find the early weeks with a newborn both beautiful and overwhelming. My goal is to provide calm, knowledgeable support so families can rest, recover, and feel confident during this important transition. Hello, my name is Sarah and I am a certifying Birth & Postpartum Doula, professional nanny and trained Newborn Care Specialist based in Lethbridge, Alberta. I provide overnight newborn & infant care along with postpartum support for families during the early weeks and months after welcoming a new baby. I bring over 20 years of professional childcare experience, including extensive work as a travel nanny supporting families in their homes around Europe & Canada. These experiences have allowed me to work closely with infants, children, and parents in many different environments, strengthening my ability to adapt to each family’s unique needs and parenting style. My background also includes experience working in healthcare environments supporting NICU and pediatric units, which has deepened my understanding of newborn development and the importance of creating a calm, reassuring environment for both baby and parents. My philosophy is that every family deserves compassionate, non-judgmental support during the transition into parenthood. I believe parents already have strong instincts, and my role is to provide reassurance, guidance, and practical support so they can feel confident caring for their baby. I am currently completing my certification as a Fertility, Birth and Postpartum Doula and look forward to expanding my support for families as my training continues. I am based in Lethbridge and am happy to travel throughout Southern Alberta.

Since I can remember, I have always found deep love and interest in the perinatal period. My first encounter with pregnancy and birth occurred when I was very young; my mum showed me the 1995 film Nine Months, directed by Chris Columbus, starring Julianne Moore and Hugh Grant, and I was hooked! Essentially, I watched any movie or TV show (that I was aware of) that featured the perinatal period. Some of the shows that I have watched countless times are One Born Every Minute (Channel 4) and Call The Midwife (BBC One). I bring the film and shows up because it is an integral part of the story that led me to become a doula; it kept the spark alive long enough for me to find a way forward into working within the birth and postpartum world. Then, when I went to Mount Royal University to get my Bachelor of Arts degree, it only felt natural to accompany it with a minor in Women’s and Gender Studies, so I see myself as a certified feminist (lol). I have always believed that people are entitled to feel empowered during their birth, and with that comes support, which is where I come in. As your doula, it is my job to support you and your birthing team throughout the duration of your birth. I will never make decisions on your behalf or try to influence your choices, but I will support you in making those decisions, and yes, that includes postpartum care. I will hold space for you and your support team, and I will do my best to help you advocate for your wishes. I understand that the perinatal period is a very vulnerable time, and I feel honoured and blessed to be able to accompany you on your journey.

Julia Byrum

Julia Byrum is the founder and sole proprietor of Selah Birth Services. Here are a few fun facts about her. Julia and the love of her life, Benaiah just celebrated their first year of marriage. A graduate of Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN, she majored in Music and Theology and minored in Family Science. She has a deep passion for worship and plans on incorporating that into her doula career. Julia loves spending time outdoors, exploring nature, and traveling to new places around the world. At home, she finds joy in the everyday: cooking, baking, decorating their new home, and keeping a warm, well-loved space. Above all, she loves and serves the Lord with her whole life, and counts herself deeply blessed to step into this new calling as a doula and childbirth educator. Selah Birth Services is a Christ-centered Doula and Childbirth Education business and ministry. Since she was a young girl Julia has had an interest and love for birth. She is now fulfilling her dream of being doula and bringing the Lord into her work. When choosing a name for her business, Julia landed on the word "Selah". Selah is a Biblical word which appears mostly in the Psalms and means, "to pause and reflect." In Scripture, this gives the reader a chance to contemplate what they just read. In worship, this allows space to be still and silent to listen intently to the Lord. And in labor, this applies to the break in between contractions; a chance to pause, a chance to breathe, a chance to rest in the presence of the Lord. Julia is not only equipped with the knowledge to be a professional and educated birth worker, but she also sees birth work as a ministry. She desires to bless and support families as they emerge into parenthood. Bringing life into this world is a gift from the Lord and Julia would be honored to support you in your journey.

Shanna Stevens

Hello, my name is Shanna E. Stevens, and I am the heart and hands behind Pleasant Passage Doula. As a certified birth doula, mother of five, and grandmother, I bring not only professional training but also lived wisdom and compassion into every birth space I enter. My journey into birth work is rooted in a deep calling to support families through one of life’s most sacred transitions—with presence, encouragement, and care that honors the unique story of each family. I understand that birth is not just a physical experience—it is emotional, mental, and spiritual. My role is to hold space for all of it. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between, I meet you where you are and walk alongside you with steadiness and respect. I believe birth is a profound rite of passage that belongs to the birthing person and their family. My philosophy is grounded in three values: 🌿 Empowerment through knowledge – When families are informed, they can make choices that feel aligned with their values and desires. I provide evidence-based resources, practical tools, and gentle guidance so you feel confident in your decisions. 🌿 Unwavering support – Birth can be unpredictable, but you are never alone. I offer continuous emotional reassurance, comfort measures, and advocacy, ensuring your voice is heard and your needs are respected throughout the process. 🌿 Respect for your unique journey – No two births look the same. I honor your cultural background, preferences, and intuition. My goal is not to shape your birth into my vision, but to help you feel safe, seen, and supported in yours. It is my honor to walk beside families as they welcome new life. Every birth is sacred, and I consider it a privilege to witness your strength, resilience, and love as you step into parenthood.

I honestly don’t know if words can fully express how grateful I am to Alla for being there for me during the birth of our baby girl. ❤️ We had one prenatal meeting before the birth, and even after that first meeting I could already tell how seriously, professionally, and wholeheartedly Alla approaches her work. She didn’t simply tell me what to expect during labour — she genuinely prepared me for different situations and gave me so many tools and options to feel more confident and prepared. We talked about breathing techniques, different labour positions, ways to relax and take pressure off my lower back, exercises with a birth ball, massage, aromatherapy, essential oils, and more. She showed me positions that could help encourage the baby into the right position, as well as positions to help keep the baby from turning back. She even showed me how to swaddle a newborn. And Alla literally came to my house with TWO huge bags full of different supplies and TWO large birth balls! 😄 She showed me how to use everything and even left the balls with me so I could practice and prepare my body for labour at home. And the funny part is… almost none of those things ended up being needed during my actual labour. 😂 Not because they weren’t useful, but because my labour was so incredibly fast that we simply didn’t have time! When my contractions started, I called Alla right away. She stayed in contact with me, listened carefully to what was happening, and even contacted my midwife herself to explain what I was experiencing and what my symptoms were. This was incredibly valuable to me because my midwife was English-speaking, while Alla could communicate in both languages, and having someone who could clearly explain what was happening made me feel so much more comfortable and supported. We met at the hospital, but by the time we arrived I was already essentially fully dilated. About 10 minutes after arriving at the hospital, I had my baby girl in my arms! 😅 So yes — my labour was literally lightning fast. There was no time for long massages, aromatherapy, different positions, or working with the birth balls. But even in those few minutes, Alla was right there beside me, supporting me, guiding me, helping me stay calm, and being someone I could completely rely on. And her support didn’t end when my baby was born. Alla stayed with me for another 3–4 hours after the birth. This meant so much to me. She simply stayed there with me, talked with me, supported me, and helped with the baby. When I needed to use the bathroom or take a shower, she could hold my baby for me. She rocked her, comforted her, and even put her to sleep. She helped me with the first latch and with breastfeeding, gave me guidance, and supported me while I was still adjusting to everything after giving birth. What I remember most is that it never felt like she was simply “doing her job.” It felt like I had a genuinely caring person beside me who truly cared about how I was feeling and how my baby was doing. We also met again at my home after the birth, and we had a long conversation. Alla continued to offer her help and support in so many practical ways — with cooking, laundry, household tasks, and even helping with my older children. I didn’t actually need that kind of practical help at the time because my husband was home and was able to take care of the household and our older kids. But the fact that Alla offered these things so naturally meant a lot to me. She didn’t just ask, “Do you need anything?” She actually thought about the different ways a new mother might need support and made sure I knew she was there if I needed it. That is what I appreciated most about Alla throughout the entire experience: she was always ready to do more. She wasn’t just someone who came to my birth. She prepared with me beforehand, took the time to understand my needs, supported me during labour, stayed with me for hours after my baby was born, helped with breastfeeding and newborn care, and continued to support me even after I was home. These were my third birth, but having Alla there still gave me an extra sense of confidence and reassurance. I felt more prepared, more supported, and simply less alone in the whole experience. Alla, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, professionalism, patience, calm presence, and enormous heart. ❤️ I am so grateful that you were my doula for the birth of our daughter. And even though my little girl decided to arrive so quickly that we didn’t get to use all of your “magic” birth balls, oils, massages, and techniques 😂 — I still felt your support from our very first meeting, through the birth, and throughout those important first hours with my baby. I wholeheartedly recommend Alla to every expecting mother. If you are looking for someone who will not simply be present at your birth, but someone who will prepare you, support you, guide you through the unexpected, stay by your side during the hardest moments, and continue to care for you even after your baby is born — Alla is that person. I would choose her again without a doubt. ❤️

I truly don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am to Alla for everything she did for me before, during, and after the birth of my daughter, Celine. From our very first conversation, Alla was incredibly kind, gentle, respectful, and welcoming. But what impressed me the most was how deeply committed she was to preparing us for the birth. She provided us with evidence-based information and scientific resources, explaining each stage of labor and helping me understand what I could expect physically and emotionally. I never felt unprepared or alone. Before the birth, Alla came to our home twice. She taught me different exercises and techniques to relieve the back pain and discomfort that came with pregnancy, and she also taught my husband how to massage me and support me physically. She didn’t just prepare me she prepared both of us to work together as a team during labor. She patiently studied and practiced everything with us, making sure we felt confident and ready. When I went into labor on December 18, 2025, Alla was with me every step of the way, even before arriving at the hospital. From the moment I told her I was in labor, she stayed in constant contact with me, checking in, supporting me, answering my questions, and making sure I had everything I needed. She was almost as excited and emotional as we were to meet our baby girl! Once she arrived at the hospital, she became absolutely essential to my birth experience. Celine was facing up, in a position that can make labor more difficult. My doctor mentioned bringing in another physician to perform a medical maneuver to help turn her. Alla immediately stepped in and said, essentially, “Let’s try some positions and exercises first and see if we can get this little girl to turn.” And we did. She guided me through different positions and movements, helped relieve my pain with massage, and made sure my husband was actively involved and knew how to support me. Those exercises made such a difference Celine turned during labor on her own, without the need for any additional medical intervention. My labor progressed beautifully and quickly, and I truly believe all the preparation we had done beforehand, combined with Alla’s support during labor, played a huge role in that experience. Alla also advocated for me throughout the birth, always respecting my wishes and the decisions we had discussed beforehand, while understanding that medical circumstances always come first. For example, when there was a discussion about cutting the umbilical cord, she reminded everyone of our wish to wait until it stopped pulsating. She was constantly looking out for what mattered to us. Together with my husband, Alla was one of the most important people supporting me during my birth. I honestly cannot imagine what that day would have been like without her. I truly believe my experience would not have been nearly as calm, supported, and empowering without her by my side. And her care didn’t stop when Celine was born. In the postpartum period, Alla continued checking in on me through messages and support, and she also came to our home. She helped me with breastfeeding and showed me how to improve Celine’s latch because breastfeeding had been painful. The difference was immediate once she helped us correct the latch, the pain stopped. She also cared for Celine, helped with whatever I needed, and made me feel supported during those very vulnerable first days as a new mother again. Alla gave us so much more than doula support. She gave us knowledge, confidence, reassurance, physical comfort, advocacy, and genuine care. I will forever be grateful that she was part of Celine’s birth story. If you are considering hiring a doula, I cannot recommend Alla highly enough. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, attentive, evidence-based, and truly dedicated to the families she supports. Thank you, Alla, for helping make the birth of my daughter such a beautiful, empowering, and unforgettable experience. We will always be grateful to you. ❤️

We had a wonderful experience with Angela and are grateful that she was a part of the birth of both of our babies. Angela provided lots of helpful resources during pregnancy to prepare for birth and to use during labour. I appreciated the books she loaned me, the use of her tens machine and I loved having the galaxy projector to create a calming atmosphere at both of my births. During our prenatal sessions she really listened to what we wanted and tailored her support to help us meet our goals. Throughout labour she was calm, reassuring and incredibly encouraging. We are so thankful for Angela and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable doula.
