As a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula of 18 years, I provide compassionate, evidence-based support to families throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the early postpartum period. With a calm presence and a deep commitment to informed choice, I assist clients in navigating their birth preferences, offer physical and emotional support during labor, and help new parents transition confidently into life with a newborn. My goal is to ensure every family I work with feels empowered, respected, and cared for during this transformative time.

I’m a passionate and experienced parent who knows firsthand how magical - and sometimes overwhelming the newborn stage can be. I had a doula for my own births, and that experience opened my eyes to just how beautiful and capable the human body is. I’ve always been drawn to the process of birth and early parenting, and I’ve loved every stage of being a mom, from breastfeeding all of my babies to babywearing, co-sleeping, and fully embracing the joys and challenges of the newborn period. My philosophy as a postpartum doula is rooted in gentle, intuitive support that honors both baby and parent. I believe every family deserves care, guidance, and reassurance as they navigate the first weeks and months together. I’m here to help parents feel confident, nourished, and supported - whether it’s through hands-on newborn care, breastfeeding support, light household help, or simply being a calm and encouraging presence when you need it most. My goal is to empower families to enjoy this fleeting, transformative stage with less stress and more connection, knowing they are seen, supported, and capable every step of the way.

I am a professional visual artist and certified postpartum doula that was drawn to the world of birthwork due to my natural ability to nurture and connect with young children and their caregivers. I am the daughter of a single mother and a member of a community shaped by diverse family dynamics; I have a deep, personal understanding of the challenges that come with raising a child in complex environments. I want to provide hands-on, practical care while navigating through a challenging, yet rewarding, transitionary period. I offer evidence-backed and culturally rooted healing knowledge to enrich the postpartum experience. My approach to supporting families is rooted in empathy, with an emphasis on helping caregivers exercise their autonomy and find their inner strength.

Carol Anne & SJ have over 19 years of combined doula experience serving families in the Greater Toronto Area and Headwater Hills region. As doulas and childbirth educators their passion for supporting families has only become stronger as they continue to build relationships with partners in the community to help create the support families need and deserve as they welcome their babies into the world.

Hello, I’m Rylee—a doula in training through Doula School Canada, with years of hands-on experience caring for newborns and infants, as well as supporting mothers during deeply vulnerable seasons. My background includes working in a maternal homeless shelter and as a private nanny, where I learned the importance of compassionate, non-judgmental support for both parent and baby. As part of my doula training, I am required to attend three births, including prenatal and postpartum visits. During this time, I am offering my services at a discounted rate—or at no cost if needed—because everyone deserves support during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. If this feels aligned for you, I would love to connect and answer any questions you may have. Email: Ryleemckenzie14@icloud.com

Birth can be whatever you want or need it to be, and that's where I come in as your doula. Whether you want it to be empowering, transformational, peaceful, healing or you just want to get through it in one piece then working with a doula like me will make all the difference. I'm with you from start to finish, which means from whenever you sign until the end of the fourth trimester, to help any and every way I can. And as a big bonus I also do infant bodywork to help with all of those fun newborn challenges you keep hearing about, like feeding issues or colic. I love what I do and I'm sure you'll love what I do too.

I will be by your side as you bring your baby into the world whether at a hospital, birthing centre, or in the comfort of your own home. Once baby is born, I will continue to provide you with educational support as well as encouragement and emotional support as you become acquainted with your baby. I will support your infant feeding journey (breastfeeding or otherwise) and offer household organizational support. My first language is English, but I can also support you in conversational French, Portuguese, and basic Italian! Aside from supporting families as they grow, I have a passion for travelling, art, and food!
