Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Mitchell/Ontario, ON

Hello! I’m a certified postpartum doula, trained Newborn Care Specialist, early childhood educator, and mother of two with over 10 years of experience supporting infants, young children, and families. I hold an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education and Art, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. My background includes extensive professional training in infant development, newborn care, safe sleep, breastfeeding, and family-centered support. I believe every family deserves compassionate, individualized, judgment-free care. My services focus on postpartum recovery, newborn care, breastfeeding and pumping support, infant feeding education, gentle newborn sleep guidance, and personalized routines. I have a special passion for supporting single parents, young mothers, families with multiples, NICU families, and those navigating unexpected or difficult birth experiences. My goal is to help parents feel confident, informed, supported, and empowered throughout their postpartum journey.

Long before becoming a doula, I understood the importance of supporting mothers because I had experienced motherhood myself. Today, as both a mother and grandmother, I've had the privilege of watching motherhood unfold across generations. Those experiences have given me a deep appreciation for just how significant birth is. Every mother is different. Every baby is different. And every birth story is different. That's why I believe good doula care begins with listening. I was drawn to doula work because I wanted to provide women with the kind of steady, compassionate support that can be so meaningful during labor and birth. My approach is especially centered around comfort care and birth coaching. I help mothers explore different labor positions, movement, relaxation and comfort techniques while also providing the emotional encouragement that can be just as important during labor. I don't believe my role is to take over your birth experience. I'm there to walk beside you. To encourage you when labor becomes difficult. To help you find another position when something isn't working. To remind you of your strength when you're tired. To listen to what you need. And, when desired, to pray with you and bring the comfort of our shared Christian faith into the birth space.

I am currently a postpartum nurse and mother of four young girls. After nursing school at Ohio State I commissioned as a Navy Nurse. While in the Navy I worked on many units from Pediatrics, ER, NICU, postpartum, adolescent psych, and general med-surg. I found a passion for Peds/NICU and postpartum because I grew to love teaching and empowering parents to feel confident in their roles. I have loved all four of my non-medicated birthing and postpartum experiences. Outside of work I am a full-time mom, currently homeschooling my oldest daughter (6yo). As a family we are passionate about our Christian faith, very involved in our local church, and we love to spend time outside adventuring.

As a full spectrum birth worker, and student midwife, I blend evidence based care with perinatal social work, intuitive, ancestral, and holistic wisdom.

I specialize in healing bundles, and customized services to support every path of wellness.

As a Doula for nearly a decade, I enjoy helping and empowering families in their experiences. I am fortunate to have had the very Doula that aided me in my birthing become my teacher in her retirement. Her teachings were thorough and gracious. From them I’ve learned the many ways to aid you in creating the experience you prefer. I hope to aid you in your journey.

I love God, my family, my pup Boo, everything birth, and empowering families through education because knowledge is power!
