Hello to all current and future mothers and families! My name is Sarah. I’ll be turning 20 on July 7th, 2025, and I was born right here in Calgary at Foothills Hospital. I currently work in both the hospitality and retail industries while preparing to launch my practice as a Holistic Doula. Starting a new business comes with its fair share of challenges—especially while working two jobs—but I’m dedicated to growing this practice and creating a supportive, nurturing space for individuals and families as they prepare to welcome a new life. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, singing, swimming, and occasionally acting or dancing. I’ve always had a strong connection with children and have a natural instinct to nurture and protect them. My friends and family often say I bring calm and comfort wherever I go, something I strive to offer every client I work with. As a doula, my goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care to all clients. I welcome people from all walks of life and am committed to treating every individual with dignity, respect, and kindness. I’m especially passionate about supporting those who may not always receive the care and understanding they deserve, including young mothers, individuals with disabilities, and others navigating unique circumstances. Looking forward to connecting with you all! 🤰🫄🫃 Love, Sarah Annaliese

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.

Kate was an absolute blessing throughout our pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum journey. From the very first meeting, she brought such warmth, calm, and reassurance that made us feel instantly supported. During labor, her presence was everything we needed—steady, comforting, and full of care. She anticipated our needs before we even voiced them and helped us navigate every moment with confidence. We can’t imagine going through this experience without her and know we’ll have her by our side for all our future babies. Truly an angel on Earth!

I am a passionate birth and postpartum doula working to help support your birth and parenthood journey your way. My practice involves finding the right tools for you while creating a judgement free environment. After having two of my own children and seeing the care and support doulas can offer, I knew this was the role for me.

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.

I have always loved babies. At family gatherings you would usually find me snuggling the newborns and entertaining the other kiddos. It wasn’t until I gave birth in 2015 that something shifted and I was living the postpartum experience myself. I realised that yes, I loved all things birth and I consider myself a certified birth nerd, but there was something missing. I had just had this huge transformation but everyone just wanted to hold my baby. Who was holding me? That part of your story matters. As a parent and birth worker I will walk along side you as you navigate this new version of you - and I am grateful to see it.
