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.

My wife (Alex) gave birth to our beautiful baby daughter 4 months ago. After our first baby was a scheduled C-section, it was an interesting road to baby two. Alex did a ton of research and found two people she wanted to help us bring the baby into the world with the goal of a VBAC. The first was her midwife - and the second was Brittney (her doula). As a family doctor, I had almost no experience with midwives or doulas. To say that Brittney’s help was invaluable is an understatement. The support that she provided through the entire pregnancy to Alex (and essentially to our family by extension) was incredible. In addition, when the delivery loomed, her value was priceless. Her confidence and experience to guide Alex from the bed to the shower to the birth centre was amazing. The verbal and physical guidance was an essential piece of the VBAC journey for Alex and our family. I cannot thank Brittney enough for acting as a fierce champion for my wife, ensuring her voice and birth plan were respected every step of the way.

Since I can remember, I have always found deep love and interest in the perinatal period. My first encounter with pregnancy and birth occurred when I was very young; my mum showed me the 1995 film Nine Months, directed by Chris Columbus, starring Julianne Moore and Hugh Grant, and I was hooked! Essentially, I watched any movie or TV show (that I was aware of) that featured the perinatal period. Some of the shows that I have watched countless times are One Born Every Minute (Channel 4) and Call The Midwife (BBC One). I bring the film and shows up because it is an integral part of the story that led me to become a doula; it kept the spark alive long enough for me to find a way forward into working within the birth and postpartum world. Then, when I went to Mount Royal University to get my Bachelor of Arts degree, it only felt natural to accompany it with a minor in Women’s and Gender Studies, so I see myself as a certified feminist (lol). I have always believed that people are entitled to feel empowered during their birth, and with that comes support, which is where I come in. As your doula, it is my job to support you and your birthing team throughout the duration of your birth. I will never make decisions on your behalf or try to influence your choices, but I will support you in making those decisions, and yes, that includes postpartum care. I will hold space for you and your support team, and I will do my best to help you advocate for your wishes. I understand that the perinatal period is a very vulnerable time, and I feel honoured and blessed to be able to accompany you on your journey.
