Hello Everyone, we are Suyin Jordan, a certified postpartum doula, IBCLC. Certified New Parent Educator with a background in nursing and midwifery in the UK and Petra Nobel, CPD, CNPE and Certified Sleep Consultant, with a background in maternity nursing in the Netherlands. We are the co-owners of Thornhill Doulas. Pregnancy, childbirth and the first few weeks of parenthood is an amazing time in our lives. It should be about the birthing parent, partner (if there is one), baby or babies and what they want for this special time. However, in our fast paced and hectic lifestyles, it can often feel completely overwhelming, especially as more people are living further away from traditional family support. Having doula support will smooth your transition to parenthood- a Magical yet challenging time! We are ready to support all your childbirth and parenting needs, including lactation and sleep.

I don’t even know where to begin in describing how grateful I am for Petra and the incredible support she gave me, my husband, and our son born in April 2024. She was, in every sense of the word, the doula of our dreams. We call her our 'fairy godmother.' We were first-time parents who truly didn’t know what we were doing. Petra walked into our home with a calm, reassuring presence that immediately made us feel safe and supported. Petra never made us feel judged or inadequate — instead, she showed us step by step how to care for our newborn, starting with the first step into our house from the hospital, and my question of, "umm, so where do I put him?". From there, she patiently taught us all the practical skills (feeding, burping, bathing, diapering, soothing, etc.), as we had no idea what we were doing. All the books I read while pregnant did not prepare me for the real thing. Petra prepared us for the real thing. More than the “how-to,” Petra gave us peace of mind. She answered every question with kindness and expertise. She normalized our fears, reassured us when we second-guessed ourselves, and reminded us that we were doing a good job. She also cared for us as parents. She encouraged us to rest, to eat, and to breathe. Her presence lifted so much of the anxiety from those early days and gave us space to bond with our baby rather than drown in uncertainty. Petra was everything we hoped for in a doula: knowledgeable, nurturing, reliable, compassionate, and endlessly patient. She went above and beyond. I can say without exaggeration that she helped us survive and truly enjoy those first weeks as a new family. Suyin also contributed to the post-partum support of our family as my lactation consultant. You really just don't know how difficult breast feeding is until you try it! Suyin helped me with latch, positioning, and confidence. Her visits at our home were comfortable and stress-free, and she helped turned breast-feeding into something I could actually enjoy. I can’t recommend her enough!

Hi - I’m Daphney. I’m a fertility, birth, and postpartum doula. My doula journey unknowingly began as an infant and toddler nanny — a role that took me away to New Zealand, Australia, and Switzerland. Along the way, I discovered how much I love being part of families’ stories, and now I’m bringing that same heart into my doula work. Supporting moms, babies, and whole families lights me up, and I’ve dedicated my career to this calling. My dream is to offer the kind of nurturing care I imagine receiving myself one day as a mother. I offer birth, postpartum and fertility support in the Barrie, Simcoe County, York Region, & Vaughan/Toronto area! With love,

Hi, I’m Tisa. I am a certifying labour and Postpartum Doula and proud mom of six beautiful children. I consider myself to be a compassionate person who strives to help you and your family navigate this new exciting chapter of your lives. I strongly believe it is my mission to help you have not only a positive postpartum journey but to help better assist and equip you with all the right tools for success. My passion for birth work began 20 years ago after the birth of my eldest son. Due to a series of events that could have very well crippled me only made me stronger. I was very fortunate to find access to many great regional programs and I met someone who not only poured wisdom into me at a young age but believed I could do great things in this field of work. I will never let my birth trauma define me, rather it has shaped me into who I am today. I am dedicated to providing assistance, support and spreading the message that you are not alone. My role as your doula is to provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support. I am committed to empowering you to make informed decisions. The Postpartum stage isn't a race, it's about picking up the little pieces we may lose along the way. When I am not attending a birth or working overnight postpartum shifts, you can most likely find me in the comfort of my home surrounded by my family. My house is filled with laughter, playful banter, persistent chirps from my Lovebirds and Conure, yapping can be heard from the family Pomeranian; Mochi. I enjoy worship nights held by my church, reading webtoons, soaking up k-dramas and building miniature wooden puzzles and book-nooks.

Nijah Smith

I am a professional visual artist and certified postpartum doula that was drawn to the world of birthwork due to my natural ability to nurture and connect with young children and their caregivers. I am the daughter of a single mother and a member of a community shaped by diverse family dynamics; I have a deep, personal understanding of the challenges that come with raising a child in complex environments. I want to provide hands-on, practical care while navigating through a challenging, yet rewarding, transitionary period. I offer evidence-backed and culturally rooted healing knowledge to enrich the postpartum experience. My approach to supporting families is rooted in empathy, with an emphasis on helping caregivers exercise their autonomy and find their inner strength.

Recent review

Nijah Smith was a great doula during my postpartum experience. What stood out the most was how naturally connected she was with my baby girl. She instantly analyzed what she needed, and responded with such calm confidence. Nijah assisted greatly with household tasks, helping me latch, and helping her settle. Because she was so attentive, observant, and proactive with the baby, I actually got to rest—and real rest. I felt safe enough to sleep because I knew my daughter was in good hands. I’m deeply grateful for her, and I would recommend her to any parent who wants someone alert ,gentle, and proactive to support their family.

Hello and welcome! My name is Mandy and I am a certified Postpartum Doula dedicated to helping families find their footing during life with a newborn. My path to this work wasn’t just professional—it was personal. As a mother of four and a wife, I’ve walked the postpartum journey multiple times myself. I know exactly how beautiful, exhausting, and overwhelming those first few weeks can be. My own experiences taught me that families don’t just need advice; they need rest, nourishment, and a calm, non-judgmental presence to lean on. That is exactly what I strive to provide. Having lived in Germany and coming from a multicultural background, I bring an open heart and deep respect for different traditions and parenting styles. I understand that there is no "one right way" to parent—only the way that works best for your family. Whether you need support with newborn care, help getting a few hours of sleep, or just an extra set of hands to keep the household running, I’m here to make your transition smoother. I want you to feel cared for so you can focus on bonding with your baby. Let’s make your postpartum experience a time of healing and connection. I would be honored to support you.

Anamav made my postpartum experience so seamless and stress free. They provided me with postpartum doula support to help me get the day to day tasks done and it was just nice to have an adult around to chat with! Nancy provided such a comforting presence and even as a second time mom, I got so much reassurance and confidence from chatting with her. Literally a life saver. I will definitely be using them again for future kids and will be referring to friends and family!

I have a strong passion for pregnancy, birth, babies, and supporting new parents, and my patience, care, and understanding nature are what set me apart. I will always listen without judgement and be here to advocate for you and your family. Think of me as your pregnancy and birth coach – whether this is your first child or your fifth, I am here to support you similarly to how a personal trainer helps you at the gym, how a wedding planner helps you achieve your dream wedding, or how a tour guide helps you plan your perfect vacation. From day one, I will support your pregnancy with resources, information, and education; your birth with positivity and hands-on comfort measures; and your early post-partum journey with confidence and love. I will be by your side as you bring your baby into the world whether at a hospital, birthing centre, or in the comfort of your own home. Once baby is born, I will continue to provide you with educational support as well as encouragement and emotional support as you become acquainted with your baby. I will support your infant feeding journey (breastfeeding or otherwise) and offer household organizational support. My first language is English, but I can also support you in conversational French, Portuguese, and basic Italian! Aside from supporting families as they grow, I have a passion for travelling, art, and food!

Birth can be whatever you want or need it to be, and that's where I come in as your doula. Whether you want it to be empowering, transformational, peaceful, healing or you just want to get through it in one piece then working with a doula like me will make all the difference. I'm with you from start to finish, which means from whenever you sign until the end of the fourth trimester, to help any and every way I can. And as a big bonus I also do infant bodywork to help with all of those fun newborn challenges you keep hearing about, like feeding issues or colic. I love what I do and I'm sure you'll love what I do too.
