My path to becoming a doula began with my own births. As a mother, I have experienced how deeply birth can shape a woman. My last birth, supported by a doula, showed me the quiet power of being held without judgment, without pressure, just steady, present support. It changed everything for me. I have attended seven births so far, each one strengthening my respect for this work and deepening my calling to walk alongside women as they welcome new life. I have completed my doula training through Douglas College, where I developed the knowledge and skills to provide thoughtful, informed, and compassionate care. I believe birth is not something to be feared, but something to be witnessed and supported through. A doula holds that space, grounded and aware, so the mother can let go. With one foot in the conscious world, we create safety, allowing her to turn inward, trust herself, and fully enter the experience. In that space, she returns to herself. She rises into her instinctive, powerful nature. This is the heart of my work. I am committed to practicing cultural safety and honoring every client’s unique background, beliefs, and lived experience. My goal is to create a space where you feel respected, heard, and fully supported, exactly as you are. I am there to hold steady, to protect the space, and to support you as you move through one of the most defining moments of your life. Through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and loss, my role is to ensure you feel seen, safe, and supported every step of the way. You can expect calm presence, emotional support, and gentle guidance when you need it most. You will always have someone in your corner. I am committed to continually deepening my knowledge and learning new techniques to better support both mother and baby.

Hi everyone, my name is Megan. I’m a birth and postpartum doula, trained through Doula School Canada, based in Surrey, BC. I’m deeply passionate about supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood. Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, or something in between, I offer steady, non-judgmental support with the goal of helping you feel confident, informed, and cared for throughout your experience. Alongside my doula work, I’ve been practicing henna/mehndi for several years and am now offering prenatal belly henna. 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. In addition to birth support, I offer postpartum care with flexible daytime and overnight availability to help you feel supported during those early weeks.

Hi, my name is Manpreet Kaur. I’m currently working toward my ECEA certificate and have experience supporting families and caring for children. I’m caring, reliable, and love creating a safe and fun environment for kids. I’d be happy to help however I can!

Hello, My name is Elina. I've been a nurse for 13 years. I've been a Materbity & Labor and a postpartum nurse for 5 years. I have worked with mom's postpartum and would love to assist you with your postpartum needs. I am adaptable, so please let me know how I can help to fit in with your family needs. I have two children of my own and on my spare time I love to craft and sew.

I am a mother of two children, both of whom I delivered naturally in China and breastfed personally. Through my own hands-on experience, I have developed extensive practical knowledge of newborn care, breastfeeding, infant feeding, sleep routines, and child development. I am able to provide new mothers with practical guidance and support during the early stages of newborn care, especially for first-time parents who may need help and reassurance as they adjust to life with a new baby. I am fluent in English and have a strong understanding of child development and child psychology. I believe in evidence-based parenting and age-appropriate feeding practices, while also adapting to each baby's individual needs and temperament. I am currently completing the later stage of my MBA, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate different work arrangements. I am responsible, patient, attentive to detail, and bring both extensive parenting knowledge and real-life hands-on experience caring for infants and children.

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.
