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.

Hi there! I'm so happy you're here. I am a certified full spectrum doula in Toronto. I am so honoured to do this meaningful work in supporting families during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. I have assisted over 300 families, and love seeing you come into your power and confidence as a new family. It takes a village and I am happy to be part of yours.

Hello! My name is Andrea, and I am an experienced overnight newborn care specialist with over 10 years of childcare experience supporting families through the newborn stage and beyond. I am CPR and First Aid certified and passionate about providing compassionate, dependable overnight care that allows parents to rest, recover, and enjoy their time with their new baby. My approach is centered around creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment for your newborn while respecting each family’s individual parenting style and preferences. I assist with overnight feedings, diaper changes, soothing, bottle preparation and sterilization, and helping establish healthy sleep habits. I understand that the early weeks with a newborn can be both exciting and exhausting, and I strive to make that transition as smooth as possible. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive. My goal is to give parents peace of mind knowing their baby is receiving loving, attentive care throughout the night so they can wake up feeling rested and supported. Building trusting relationships with families is incredibly important to me, and I feel privileged to be part of such a special time in their lives. I am happy to provide references from both current and previous families I have worked with.

Hi, I’m Angelina, co-founder of Cradira and a Perinatal Support Worker/Postpartum Doula serving families across the Greater Toronto Area. I provide overnight postpartum support for expecting and new parents who need more rest, more reassurance, and fewer “are we supposed to know what we’re doing?” moments. My work includes newborn care, postpartum recovery support, feeding and sleep guidance, emotional reassurance, and practical help with the everyday reality of life after baby arrives. Because yes, the baby is a big part of postpartum. Obviously. But so are the dishes, the laundry, the night plan, the feeding setup, the relationship stress, the texts from people asking how they can help, and the fact that someone still needs to know where the clean sleepers are. Over the last 25 years, I’ve learned that families usually don’t need more pressure or perfect-parent advice. They need someone calm, experienced, and practical who can walk into the real-life version of their home and help things feel a little less chaotic. Many of the families I support are also carrying more than newborn care alone: anxiety, depression, PMADs, fertility stress, loss, neurodivergence, relationship strain, or the pressure of being the person who usually keeps everything running. I don’t diagnose or provide therapy, but I am very comfortable supporting families where these realities are part of the picture. That might mean taking over baby care so parents can sleep, supporting a feeding plan, talking through newborn sleep, helping with bottles or pump parts, giving parents a chance to rest, or helping make the household pieces a little easier to manage. Sometimes the biggest relief is not a complicated plan. It’s someone saying, “Okay. Here’s what we’re going to tackle next.” My approach is warm, inclusive, evidence-informed, and rooted in real life. I’m not here to tell families there is one right way to do this. I’m here to help them feel steadier, more supported, and less like they have to hold everything in their heads. Baby doesn’t need perfection. Your family needs steady support, realistic plans, and someone calm in the room when everything feels like a lot.

Hello! My name is Lauren, the hands on and heart led birth and postpartum doula in Durham Region. I'm also a big homebody who loves to read, craft my own tea blends, make natural skincare products and candles, and spend time in nature as much as possible. Becoming a doula felt like stepping into a path that was already laid out for me. I have always felt a fierce protection for other women, and connected easily and deeply with the women in my life. Combined with my interest in herbal healing and natural remedies, my previous work with and love for children and babies, my need to feed everyone I love home cooked, nourishing meals, and my interest in birth & the medical system, I realized that I already was a doula, I just needed to take the leap onto the path.   Early in 2025, I completed a 10 day doula training retreat in Costa Rica, which was a beautiful way to begin my new career. In the past couple of years I have been amazed by the women I work with, the births I have experienced by their sides, and the cocoon of postpartum. I love this work! I believe that birth and postpartum are some of the most transformational and impactful moments of a woman’s life, and they deserve to be positive experiences. Feeling cared for, understood, nourished, and supported are essential in the journey from Maiden, to Mother (and from mother of one, to two, to three…).  If you’re looking for a doula you want to feel cared for by, someone you feel comfortable texting “is this my mucous plug?,” and someone who knows how important the little details are and takes care of them so you don’t have to (like LED candles at your birth and a warm cup of tea postpartum), then hello! Now, Id love to get to know you.

I'm Tina - a birth and postpartum doula - and I'm so glad you're here! My desire is to be a guide, helper, encourager, and interpreter for you in your special season of having a baby. Whatever type of birth you choose, I am here to give you all the evidence based information you need in order to have the pregnancy, the birth, and the postpartum you dream of. Birth can be super unpredictable but the effort you put into your birth and the information and confidence you gain will be of huge help! You do not need to walk this path on your own. I serve the Niagara Region of Ontario - including St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Fort Erie, Welland, Wainfleet, and Dunnville. One thing that makes me different as a doula is that I am a Christian and I believe that God wants to be fully present in every part of our life, including birth! Surrendering this crucial part of our life over to Him is utterly important. We are not called to live in fear but of power! I help you to turn your fear into faith, give you Scriptures that will inspire you, and pray over you. No matter what type of birth you choose, or what ends up happening, you can have a God-honoring birth. And I'm here to cheer you on!

I started in this field as an infant nanny to my niece back in 2017. Since then I have worked in a variety of childcare settings. My time working at a daycare was spent in the infant room, caring for newborns and up. Most recently, I’ve been a nanny to two wonderful families who I’ve had the privilege of watching their babies grow from newborns to energetic toddlers. I’m extremely passionate about helping families care for their infants and young children.

I am a DONA-trained Postpartum Doula and owner of Sage Support. No experience of my life has been as foundation-rattling as having my first child. My husband and I lived far from family and friends, and - like most - our family had other day-to-day responsibilities that kept them busy. Add in a (short) NICU stay, early feeding challenges, and insufficient paternity leave, and I was a mess. In those early days, in between visits from our mothers and sisters, I constructed a tiny village of “nice ladies” - lactation consultants, speech language pathologists, a weekly breastfeeding group, and a psychologist - to put myself back together and stabilize my daughter’s eating. I believe that our country needs significant policy changes that better support families, birthing people, and infants. In the meantime, postpartum doulas can help fill that gap. I went through DONA postpartum doula and breastfeeding training in January 2021, and I’m working on the final requirements to be fully certified. I will work hard to support your family and refer you to other evidence-based professionals.
