My name is Mary Harder, and my passion is to serve families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I have a deep commitment to creating positive birth experiences by empowering families through education, informed decision making, advocacy, and compassionate care. My journey as a birth worker began in 2017 where I attended the National College of Midwifery in Davao City, The Philippines. Working in a small birth centre, I was privileged to attend 100+ births in 2.5 years. My time there fully cemented my passion in caring for women and families through the most transformative time in life. In 2023, I gave birth to my first daughter. Experiencing my own birth further made me realize the profound impact that compassionate care and advocacy has on a birth experience. These experiences have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the physical, emotional, and informational needs of expecting parents. My commitment is to provide unwavering support through the childbirth journey. I honor and respect each family’s unique journey, supporting their choices and providing evidence based information to help them make informed decisions. I care deeply to create a safe and nurturing environment where families feel empowered, supported, and heard. My services include: -childbirth education -prenatal support -birth doula services -postpartum & newborn education

I had the honour of having Mary as my doula for 2 of my pregnancies, one of which was twins! There were a lot of times of uncertainty because I was immediately classified as high risk but I was determined to have my twins naturally and with the least amount of interventions possible. I chose to go against the doctor’s advice for a c-section and follow my intuition to have a home birth even when met with adversity. She was extremely helpful because I needed someone I could vent to and she was supportive to the decisions I made while also informing me of all possible outcomes. She was extremely respectful to my birth plan and always gave great advice when I had questions. We ended up having a beautiful twin home birth and both babies are healthy and thriving. At times through my labour it was extremely difficult but she was there with me and encouraging me every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula and I’m so grateful for her. She was there for me all throughout my pregnancy, birth and postpartum care and I couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you Mary!

Childcare has been my career for over thirteen years. Since 2011, I have had the privilege of supporting a wide range of families, caring for children from four months to twelve years of age in both private homes and early years settings. Along the way, I have intentionally sought opportunities that have broadened my experience, from private nanny positions and family support roles to early childhood education, leadership, and operating my own licensed childcare business. My approach is centered on providing calm, consistent, and emotionally responsive care. I believe children flourish when they feel genuinely seen, safe, and respected, and I strive to create environments where they can develop confidence, independence, social skills, curiosity, and resilience. My practice is informed by attachment theory and trauma-informed principles, always recognizing that every child is unique and deserves care that reflects their individual needs, and family values. My experience includes caring for infants, toddlers, school-aged children, twins, siblings, and groups of up to twenty-four children, as well as supporting children with additional physical, developmental, emotional, and behavioural needs. I am equally comfortable managing the changing routines of a busy household as I am planning enriching activities, supporting school readiness, encouraging outdoor exploration, or providing a quiet, reassuring presence during more challenging moments. Alongside childcare, I take pride in contributing to the smooth running of a family home. I am experienced with meal preparation, wardrobe management, laundry, organization, appointment scheduling, school runs, errands, travel preparation, and maintaining tidy, welcoming spaces. I enjoy cooking nutritious meals and am confident accommodating vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, and allergy-conscious diets. I hold an Early Childhood Education diploma and remain committed to continuing my professional development. I maintain my First Aid and CPR certification, have completed training in childcare administration, allergy awareness, and the BC Early Learning Framework, and actively seek opportunities to continue learning throughout my career. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, swimming, reading, dancing, and arts and crafts. These are activities I enjoy sharing with children, whether that means spending time outdoors, discovering new books, or testing out new ways to be creative. Above all, I understand the importance of safety, trust, discretion, and reliability. I am a non-smoker, I am bilingual in English and Spanish, confident driving, comfortable travelling with families, experienced caring for pets, and at ease working within professionally managed households, including those with security systems and in home cameras. My goal is to become a dependable person who supports both children and the household with warmth, professionalism, and care.

Welcome - my name is Lindsey, and I'm the doula behind Blue Hazel Birth Services. Supporting people through their birth journey has been a dream of mine for over a decade and I feel blessed to have been living this dream for the past 2 years. I have a deep passion for nurturing and empowering those around me through challenging transitions, and my love of all things birth has combined with this to lead me into a career as a birth doula. I believe that birth is a sacred experience for the birthing family and my role as your birth doula is always to support and empower you through your experience - this means creating and holding space for you, to your level of comfort with the birth experience. It means never overshadowing or replacing the connection that is built between partners during the birth experience - only ever heightening it.​ I believe that all birthing people and their partners have the right to support through their birth experience, should they desire it. This means that I support both couples and single birthers of all backgrounds without discrimination.​ No matter where you are on your journey towards birth, you are welcome here. Please visit my website at www.bluehazelbirthservices.com for more information, contact information and a full suite of testimonials. I can't wait to meet you.

Lindsey was the emotional and physical support that I wish I would have had with my first baby! Birth is an out of this world experience, and Lindsey’s touch and voice brought me back into my body. She was so sweet and nurturing and I felt so well taken care of the whole time. I couldn’t have done it without her.
