Hello birthing parents! My name is Linda May. I am an experienced doula ( over 12 years ), with a passion for helping clients who have experienced birth trauma. Congratulations on beginning your journey into motherhood! As a mother of four babies I remember what an exciting but also a little frightening time this is. I love being a doula because I can help women decrease their fear and turn it into empowerment. My background as a nurse helps me to understand the scientific evidence that shows having a doula as part of your birth decreases labour times and the need for interventions. It is wonderful that you’ve been able to reach out and find support. As Ina May Gaskin said, we are not lemons! I strongly resonate with her belief that we were created to birth, and it would be my honour to support you and help give you the birth that you are looking for, whatever that means for you. Sincerely, Linda May. Ps. Please bear with me with regards to my social media presence! I am in the process of updating everything including my website. Anything you wish to know please do not hesitate to contact me directly. (519)852-4064

Linda was amazing! During my second pregnancy, I was looking for a doula who could support me in having a more positive birth experience. My first labor and birth were very traumatic, and I wanted someone who would help me advocate for myself and feel confident in achieving the peaceful and empowering birth I had always dreamed of. From the beginning, Linda was such a warm, comforting, and reassuring presence. She patiently answered all my questions and was incredibly knowledgeable, especially with her background as a nurse. She had also given birth at the same hospital in London where I planned to deliver, so she was able to share valuable insight and help me feel more prepared for what to expect. Linda went above and beyond to make sure I felt informed, confident, and supported throughout my pregnancy and birth. She made me feel heard and empowered to make decisions that felt right for me. I'm so happy to say that I was able to have the peaceful and empowering birth experience I had hoped for, and I truly believe so much of that was thanks to Linda. I'm incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive doula!

Hello there! My name is Emery, and I am a full-spectrum doula based in London and the surrounding areas. I support individuals and families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond with steady, compassionate care. I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported during these transformative experiences. My role includes emotional reassurance, hands-on comfort, practical guidance, and evidence-based information so you can move through your journey with confidence. I work with all kinds of families and experiences—including multiples—offering care that is adaptable, inclusive, and centred around you. In my free time, I enjoy art, music, and film as much as I can. You can always find me cuddled up on the couch with a warm cup of tea and my Kindle. I am a person who is full of energy, so I often find myself going for walks with my pup and spending lots of time outdoors.

I’m incredibly proud to write this review for my daughter as she begins her journey as a doula. From the very start, she has approached this role with genuine passion, care, and dedication. Having completed her training and already supported her first birth, she has shown that she is more than ready to take on this important work. She is a deeply loving and supportive presence, someone who naturally puts others at ease. Her attentiveness and strong sense of responsibility ensure that nothing is overlooked—she is both detail-oriented and highly task-focused, which brings a sense of calm and confidence to those around her during such an important time. What stands out most is her ability to truly be present. She listens, she cares, and she shows up fully for the families she supports. I have no doubt that she will continue to grow and excel as a doula, making a meaningful difference in the lives of many. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate, reliable, and thoughtful support during their birth experience.

Hi Families! I’m a certified birth and postpartum doula serving families across the GTA, with a strong presence in the Peel Region. I specialize in lactation and breastfeeding support, offering compassionate, evidence-based care to help families feel confident and supported throughout their journey into parenthood. My approach is rooted in the belief that there is no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to birth, feeding, or postpartum care. Every family is unique, and I take the time to understand your values, goals, and needs so I can provide personalized, respectful support that aligns with your vision. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating early feeding, or adjusting to life with a newborn, I’m here to walk alongside you with patience, warmth, and encouragement. Beyond my work as a doula, I’m a proud mother to my 8-year-old daughter, who continues to inspire my passion for supporting other families. In my free time, I enjoy expressing creativity through art and spending time gardening—both of which ground me and bring a sense of balance to the nurturing work I do. I’m honored to be part of such an important chapter in your life and look forward to supporting you every step of the way.

Ciera supported our family with postpartum doula services 5 days a week for just over 4 months following the birth of our daughter, and what a difference she made. She is professional, dependable and quickly became well integrated within the household (our older children were always excited to see her!). She has such a way with babies, our daughter very quickly developed into a sound overnight sleeper. We were also grateful that she worked with us to ensure we could be reimbursed through Carrot insurance. I would recommend Ciera to any expecting parent who is looking for calm guidance, professional support and loving care for their newborns.

Alycia Tollar

Packages from $100

My name is Aly, and I’m the proud owner of Nurturing and Nesting, a birth and postpartum doula practice dedicated to supporting and empowering mothers through every stage of their journey. I created Nurturing and Nesting to provide thorough, personalized care that helps families thrive before, during, and after birth. My mission is to educate and empower parents with the knowledge and tools they need to care for themselves and their newborns, all while honouring the sacred experience of birth. I’ve always had a deep love for nurturing, whether it’s caring for babies, toddlers, or children, or fostering meaningful relationships with friends, family, and even pets. I truly believe that with the right mindset, atmosphere, and support, birth can be a transcendent experience, one that leaves a lasting, positive impact on both parents and their little one. It’s about creating a space where love, confidence, and calm can grow.

Recent review

Alycia came into my home postpartum to help me both with childcare and some small housekeeping. Her experience with children speaks for itself. She’s not only kind, patient, and compassionate, she’s also naturally comfortable caring for children. Having a support in your home postpartum that is strictly there to support you is an invaluable experience. Having not only help with my baby and some help cleaning up, but also just a nonjudgmental, knowledgeable source to speak all things postpartum to, really lightened the postpartum mental load. I would welcome Alycia into my home to help with my baby and I anytime.

Hi there! I'm so happy you're here. I am a certified full spectrum doula in Toronto. I am so honoured to do this meaningful work in supporting families during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. I have assisted over 300 families, and love seeing you come into your power and confidence as a new family. It takes a village and I am happy to be part of yours. My Doula values stem from a feminist caring approach. It is very important to me that you feel validated and heard and have bodily autonomy while you make informed decisions. I am familiar with hospital policies and your birth rights. Reach out with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.

Jen was our doula for the birth of our first child in April 2026. We had a wonderful experience with her throughout. She has a very relaxed, reassuring energy. Mama Bear is the perfect way to describe her vibe! Our first 2 meetings were great and she had information about everything we asked (and more!) She also sent follow up emails with lots of resources for us to look through after our initial sessions. In the final weeks leading up to the birth, she was very communicative and checked in frequently. She was very reassuring when I was having concerns and fears, and she really helped me to manage the anxiety I was feeling about childbirth. Jen also helped walk us through making an informed consent document (birth plan), but also supported us when we decided on something different in the moment while I was in labour. During early labour, she came to our home and helped support both my husband and I with various positions, counter pressure, pain management, and decision making. She accompanied us to the hospital, helped us settle in, and came back after I had rested for several hours. She arrived before the birth and was a strong advocate for me with the midwives and hospital staff, and it took a lot of pressure off of my husband (who was already doing so much to help). It was so helpful to have someone who was familiar with the birthing process and hospital by our side for support. Jen's postpartum visit was so lovely! Seeing her again in a relaxed way after such intensity was really special. She held the baby and gave us some tips and advice on what to expect in the coming weeks. I expect we will ask her for some extra post-partum visits once my husband is back at work. What an amazing woman to have involved with our baby's life. We are so lucky to have found her. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for doula support. Thank you, Jen!

Shannon Nickerson

Packages from $1,950

Christian doula serving mothers in the GTA & beyond, throughout pregnancy, birth, & postpartum. Personalized birth support rooted in physiology, faith, & hope. As one of nine children, my love for children, pregnancy, and birth began early, inspired by my mother’s own birth stories. This passion led me to become a certified doula through GoMidwife and Intentional Birth, along with additional midwifery education and a year-long apprenticeship under a midwife in the US. Having supported over 70 women through pregnancy and birth, I am passionate about helping mothers understand physiologic birth, navigate their options, communicate confidently with their care providers, and make informed decisions. I believe God has intricately designed women’s bodies to birth and nurture their babies, while also recognizing that medical intervention is sometimes necessary. My goal is to equip and encourage women to approach birth with confidence, trust, and hope—and to feel empowered as they welcome their babies and enter motherhood.

Recent review

We are so grateful for the support and care Shannon gave us throughout the journey of welcoming our first baby. She shared so much knowledge and went above and beyond in sharing resources and answering our questions. She helped us feel informed, prepared, and confident every step of the way. When the birth didn’t go according to plan, she was there to support us during a very emotional time. Her kindness and presence made such a difference in our experience. She truly went above and beyond in her care for our family, during pregnancy and postpartum. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through this journey! Shannon is truly wonderful!!

Desiree Matthews

Packages from $540 · $45/hr

I’m Desiree, a mom of five, an educator, and a certified birth and postpartum doula. I’ve had five unmedicated births (one of those births happened at home…on purpose). These personal experiences helped me find my way to birth support and have shaped the way I walk alongside families today. I know birth and early parenthood can feel both beautiful and overwhelming, and my goal is to help parents feel prepared, supported, and truly seen through it all. My philosophy is simple: Your Journey, Your Desired Way! Your choices matter! I provide evidence-based education, practical tools, and heartfelt support so you can feel confident, cared for, and truly seen.

If you’re asking me, DESIREE IS HIGH RECOMMENDED. She blended seamlessly with my midwife team and had such a natural ability to read the room. She knew exactly when to step in and offer support, what I needed in the moment, and when to give space. Her presence required no direction—she intuitively flowed with the process. Even in the challenging moments, she carried a calm and grounding presence, and in the lighter moments, she filled the room with joy and laughter. Her support created such a safe and uplifting atmosphere for my delivery. She was such a meaningful part of my redemptive birthing experience, and I am deeply grateful for her role in making it so calm, joyful, and empowering.
