Hello! I’m Shelby — a certified Full Spectrum Doula with 4+ years of experience supporting families, with a primary focus on postpartum care. My journey into birthwork began during my own first pregnancy and postpartum experience, which led me to train with Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings (BADT). I’m also CPR and First Aid certified. I provide compassionate, non-judgmental, hands-on postpartum support tailored to your family's unique needs so you can feel confident, informed, and truly cared for during this transformative season. It would be an honour to support you and your family on this new journey.

Ideal for families seeking practical and emotional support while adjusting to life with a new baby. *$100 deposit is required for bookings months in advance.
The Newborn Rest Package is designed to give families an extended period of rest and support. Over three consecutive nights, I provide full overnight care — diaper changes, soothing, settling, and feed support — while helping parents recover and establish a smoother nighttime routine. Perfect for parents who want a restorative reset during the early postpartum period.
As a postpartum doula, I provide nurturing, hands-on support to help families adjust to life with a new baby. During the day, I offer newborn care guidance, feeding support, emotional reassurance, light baby-related household help, and space for you to rest and recover. Overnight support allows you to get restorative sleep while I care for your baby — assisting with feeds, diaper changes, and soothing throughout the night. My goal is to provide calm, compassionate care so you feel confident, supported, and truly cared for during your postpartum recovery.
Shelby was the perfect balance of expert knowledge, empathy and professionalism. I felt as prepared as I could going into labour because of our sessions together. The overnight sessions with Shelby were also the only reason we got any consistent sleep in the first few weeks. We felt confident that our daughter was safe and cared for during such a sensitive time. I STRONGLY ADVISE any families considering a doula for their pregnancy journey to contact Shelby.

Shelby is one of the most gracious and dependable doulas I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Every client I’ve introduced to Shelby has given positive feedback from her quality of her service to her energy and kindness.

Shelby is a kind, patient and helpful postpartum doula. She helped with taking care of my daughter overnight from 2-6 months old. This includes feeding, burping, changing diapers and putting her back to sleep. In addition she helped wash and sterilize all of the bottles. I was able to catch up on my sleep during the nights she was there, and was always assured that my daughter would be in good hands so I could sleep peacefully. I highly recommend Shelby for any mama's that are looking for a wonderful postpartum doula. You truly cannot put a price on sleep. Thank you Shelby for all your help!

She is a lifesaver! I had a fairly difficult pregnancy and she helped me make it through my third trimester without losing my mind. She worked with me from day 1 to postpartum and continues to check in with me. The Soulfull Doula goes above and beyond without needing to be asked. And when it came to what I needed; whether it being a glass of water or me venting about pregnancy fears, she always got me 🥲
