I'm Ashley! I'm Ontario born, but the island has been my home for many years. I live near Nanaimo with my partner and our dog, Carter. I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking and riding my motorbike. In my spare time I love learning about nutrition and cooking traditional foods. Going through the journey of birth and postpartum, can be challenging - but it can also be a beautiful, memorable, and positive experience too! Having someone there, by your side making you feel empowered and encourage you to make the decisions you want for yourself, can play a huge role in how you look back at the experience. My passion is to be that person for you! I want to help you feel safe, heard, and supported during this journey.

Hi my name is madison and I am a birth and postpartum doula with lots of experience

Hi, I'm Teri-Ann and I am a certified childbirth educator and doula through Birthing From Within™ as well as a Certified Holistic Nutritionist™. I am passionate about helping parents prepare for birth but also to thrive rather than survive the 4th-trimester (what comes after birth). I Want You To Know... * Birth is just the beginning of your parental activation journey, it's the top of the mountain, your return is as important to prepare for as the birth is. * Knowledge is power and the better you understand what is coming your way, the better you’ll feel going through it. * This transformation will be hard. * Your relationship and how you see your partner will change. * You will never understand what sleep deprivation feels like until you look after a newborn baby. * Pregnancy changes your DNA, it changes your hormones, it changes how well your organs function too. So why doesn't our current prenatal care educate women on how to keep their body functioning optimally so the whole family benefits from having more energy, better health, and improved milk quality for your baby to enjoy. * Lactation depletes the already depleted body and birth recovery looks different for every birth outcome. * Your inner experience will affect how your body goes through this amazing transformation. * You need a plan to help you achieve your ultimate launch into parenthood I chose this career choice because I was so shocked by my first postpartum experience. I knew that this stage in life is so undervalued, underfunded, and under-supported by our current prenatal care system. To be a happy and healthy parent you need to plan for a holistic recovery. I’m here to help you achieve that, you will PLAN and THRIVE in your new role as parents or parents again. If you’re looking for a transformative, supported, and holistic recovery from pregnancy and birth you’ve found the right childbirth educator & 4th-trimester Doula.

As a trained Birth and Postpartum Doula, I offer compassionate support to babies and their parents during the weeks and months after birth. I can assist with newborn care, feeding support, soothing and sleep routines, postpartum recovery support, emotional encouragement for parents, and creating a calm, organized environment that helps the whole family adjust with confidence. My comprehensive approach also includes light housekeeping, meal prep, and overnight care, ensuring your little ones are safe, nurtured, and loved around the clock. As a certified First Aid and CPR provider, I prioritize your child's safety and well-being. I have also completed Infection Prevention and Food Safety training, and am in the process of completing Lactation courses. In addition to my training as a Birth & Postpartum doula, I'm also an experienced End-of-Life Doula and hospice volunteer.
