About me

Hi, I’m Laurie I’m so excited to be providing birth and postpartum care. I believe that good support early on means better outcomes for everyone in the family. Birth is a sacred, transformative time in your life—one that deserves to be protected, supported, and celebrated. As a mother to four kids (now aged 12 to 22!), I know firsthand how deeply impactful the transition into parenthood is, and how much the right support matters. I completed my professional training through the Douglas College Doula Training Program in June 2026 and am certified to support all types of birth, postpartum journeys, and pregnancy loss. My goal is to provide a calm, steady, trauma informed and completely non-judgmental presence for your entire family as you navigate these major life changes. Before answering this calling, I spent years caring for people in different ways. I worked as a hairstylist from home while my children were small, and later ran a cozy home bakery for eight years. Today, I weave all of those unique caregiving skills into my doula work—whether that means braiding your hair during labor, baking a nourishing treat for your kitchen counter, or simply holding space so you feel taken care of. When I’m not supporting growing families, you can find me walking the local trails, tending to the plants in my yard, getting lost in a good book, or enjoying time with my family. And yes, if you caught the nod in my business name—I am a massive, long-time fan of ‘Call the Midwife’.

Service introduction

As a birth doula, I offer a complimentary consultation to see if we are a good fit. If you decide to hire me, we will meet two more times to shape a birth plan and see how I can best support you. When you’re in labour I will join you when you feel you would like me there and I will stay with you during your labour and delivery to provide emotional and physical support, provide education to help you to make informed decisions that you feel good about as they arise. After the birth I will stay for a few hours or until you are ready for some family time. I will make 2 postpartum visits in the few weeks after that will be about an hour. These will be to check and see how everyone is, and make any referrals that may be helpful.
