Hello! I am a postpartum doula in Calgary and area. I am passionate about perinatal mental health and providing support to families as they transition to life with a newborn. I trained in 2018 through DONA, hold a BASc in psychology and sociology and am currently certified in CPR class C.

All you want is to enjoy pregnancy; not be scared out of your mind, for birth not to freaking hurt, your partner to not faint, and maybe, just maybe to sleep at some point! Hi I’m Riley (she/her), your sanity-saving birth & baby bestie (aka doula). I take the guesswork out of preparing for birth and taking care of your baby; saving you time and energy to achieve the elusive work-life balance.

Cayla and Kate are the logical choice if you are looking for unique, comprehensive, personalized care that expands your team of support and expertise even further. Joining forces, they bring together their years of experience, additional education (lactation and feeding, infant sleep, and childbirth education), and passion for empowering families and their individual needs, values, and preferences. Cayla and Kate often get asked how they met. Kate was looking for doula support for the birth of her second child. During the consultation, Kate immediately felt her warmth and knew she was the right doula for her. Cayla supported Kate through her VBAC which left her feeling empowered and confident, having Cayla by her side helped Kate heal the trauma from her first birth. This changed Kate’s career path, and from the beginning of her journey as a doula, she’s been working with the Cayla and the Welcome Baby Co. team. When Cayla decided working in a partnership was the next step in her doula career, she knew Kate was the perfect match. When they’re off call, they’re time is filled with rest and being with their families. Kate recharges by being outdoors, riding bikes with her family through Fish Creek, camping, or finding a new coffee shop with a park close by. She always has a craft project on the go, usually to do with the upcoming holiday. Crocheting Halloween ghosts and sanding the trunk of a fallen tree to make a side table have been some of her favorite projects. Cayla can be found at the dog park with her dog Tom, tending to her large urban garden, canning rhubarb jam, salsa or pickled carrots, and camping with her family in their camper trailer. Welcome Baby Co. has brought her a lot of fulfillment in her work life, and she’s working on slowing down and enjoying the small moments in her personal life. As your doulas, you can count on an evidence-based and compassionate approach, working to support you in having your best birth and postpartum experience. We understand that every birthing journey is unique and unpredictable, and we are here to help you prepare for and navigate all the paths it could go down. As the adventure unfolds, we will be there to offer guidance, reassurance, and ensure that you feel empowered and well-cared for.

My name is Sharon Nansamba, and I am deeply passionate about supporting families during the important early stages of parenthood. I believe every parent deserves compassionate, non-judgmental support as they adjust to caring for their newborn and finding their new rhythm at home. My approach centers around kindness, patience, and empowerment—helping parents gain confidence in their own abilities while ensuring both parent and baby feel cared for and secure. I see my role as a guide and partner—someone who listens, nurtures, and adapts to each family’s unique needs. I value open communication and respect for each family’s choices and traditions. My goal is to create a calm, reassuring environment where parents can rest, recover, and enjoy bonding with their little one, knowing they are supported every step of the way.

Hello, I am Anne-Marie and I’ve been a doula since 2018. I am certified in both birth and postpartum, however I specialize in postpartum. I do overnights and daytime shifts. I have also travelled and would love to help you on your vacation.

Hi there! My name is Krista, and I am the owner of KKH Doula Services in Calgary, AB, Canada. It is so nice to meet you! I started my doula business in January 2023. I became a postpartum doula after struggling in my own postpartum journey. Lacking my own support, I was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety. It was through my perinatal mental health groups that I learned about postpartum doulas and the amazing work they do! I immediately signed up for postpartum doula training, and the rest is history! I have been so fortunate to have supported many families in their postpartum journey. Families seek me out because of my lived experience with perinatal mental health disorders, grief, and over 12 years' experience in the disability and mental health field. I am described as a kind, calm, hard-working, reassuring, and knowledgeable person, and I bring these qualities to my doula practice. I would be honoured to support you in your own journey! Please reach out for a free consultation to see if I would be the right match for you and your family!

Hi, I’m Laine (she/her)! I am a full-spectrum doula, plant lover, and mom of two incredible little humans. My own journey - welcoming my first child in 2018, experiencing pregnancy loss, and later giving birth to my second in 2023 - deeply shaped my path and passion for birth work. Both of my births were supported by wonderful doulas, and their steady presence inspired me to offer the same kind of care to others. As your doula, I provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support to help you feel nurtured, empowered, prepared, and cared for - no matter how or where you choose to give birth. I love working with new parents and growing families, and I hold space for the wide range of emotions and transformations that come with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My approach blends compassionate emotional and physical support with practical tools like childbirth education and baby wearing guidance. I’m also passionate about birth photography and love capturing the beauty and power of labour, birth, and those magical first moments together. I am currently working with the wonderful folks at the Nelson Doula Collective for my in-person offerings. When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me tending to my plants, playing up at Whitewater, or keeping up with life alongside my kiddos. Certifications and Trainings: Maternal Support Practitioner – Full Spectrum Doula Training (Bebo Mia) Childbirth Educator Training (Bebo Mia) Advanced VBAC Doula Certification (The VBAC Link) First Aid & CPR-C/AED (The Lifesaving Society) IPAC Training (Provincial Infection Control Network) I’m also approved under the Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant Program in BC.

Simply Doula and Co. is a local Doula service that offers Birth, Postpartum + Bereavement as well as night nanny services, placenta encapsulation and more.

Welcome to my journey! Growing up on a farm in Wheatland County, Alberta, Canada, taught me the value of hard work and perseverance early on. My dream of becoming a birth worker may have seemed distant at times, but it became a reality when I discovered the impactful role of a doula. I signed up for the Birth Belongs to Women mentorship, learning through women is truely so important to me. Being present for the miraculous moment of birth is beyond words, and I take great pride in supporting women during such vulnerable times. I firmly believe that every woman deserves to be honoured and cared for, and I am dedicated to providing gentleness, kindness, and reassurance throughout the process. Birth is not just about the arrival of a new baby; it is equally about honouring the mother and her unique experience. ​ When I’m not attending births, I’m busy caring for my animals, including my goats and Texas Longhorn/Highland cattle. I cherish my time with my dogs, Mena and Major, and my calf, Violet. I also enjoy unwinding by the fire, painting, capturing beautiful moments through photography, or playing the piano. ​ My mission is to serve women as a sister and nurture them as a true friend in their incredible journey. I am serving Strathmore and the greater Calgary area
