Hi, I’m Emelia. It’s nice to meet you. I’m a birth professional based in Oshawa, ON, with a passion for supporting the whole person and their family through every part of the perinatal journey: emotionally, physically, and mentally. I’m currently certifying as a birth and postpartum doula with DONA International, a fertility doula through Doula School Canada, and a childbirth educator with CAPPA. This allows me to walk with clients through each chapter of their experience in a deeply personal and connected way. My work is grounded in the belief that this season of life deserves care that sees and supports the whole of who you are. Whether you’re preparing for birth, exploring fertility, or finding your rhythm in postpartum, I’m here to offer presence, warmth, and evidence-based support that meets you where you are. I know this time can feel like wandering into a forest without a map, full of beauty but also uncertainty. My hope is that when we work together, you feel safe to pause, to breathe, and to know you’re not alone. I’m here to hold space, to really listen, and to offer tools and guidance to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to feel supported. I see you, and I’m honored to walk alongside you like a steady companion on the path, here to remind you of your own strength and inner wisdom. Welcome to the Fabled Family. I’m so glad you’re here.

Hiring Mimi was one of the best choices we made for this pregnancy. She was so kind, down-to-earth, and always there when I needed advice or reassurance. During labor, she knew exactly what I needed—whether it was a calming word, a cold compress, or just a hand to hold. She also made sure my Husband felt confident and included, which meant so much to both of us. I honestly can’t imagine going through birth without her. She captured some great pictures of us as a family right after my baby was born, that I will always treasure. I very much appreciate her postpartum check-ins as well.

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.

As a mother of three, I understand firsthand the beauty and challenges that come with the postpartum journey. My work as a postpartum and birth doula is rooted in deep empathy and genuine care, qualities that have only been strengthened through my experience raising a special needs child. I bring calm, nonjudgmental support to families as they adjust to life with a newborn, offering both practical help and emotional reassurance. Over the past several years, I have supported families through both hospital and home births, navigating many different birth experiences and outcomes. I remain a steady advocate throughout, ensuring that families feel heard, respected, and empowered in every decision. My experience also includes childbirth education, lactation education, and newborn sleep support, helping parents feel prepared, confident, and informed from pregnancy through postpartum. My goal is always to nurture both baby and parents, creating a peaceful, supported environment where healing and bonding can truly thrive.

Victoria was my Doula for both my first and second babies, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She not only provided real, evidence-based birth education, but she also made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout my pregnancy and labour. Victoria was by my side every step of the way, offering calm reassurance, kindness, and incredible knowledge. Her support made such a difference, and her service was worth every penny. I’m so grateful for her care and highly recommend her to any expecting parent!

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,

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!

Hello, I’m Rylee—a doula in training through Doula School Canada, with years of hands-on experience caring for infants and supporting mothers during deeply vulnerable seasons.

As part of my doula training, I am required to attend three births, including prenatal and postpartum visits. During this time, I am offering my services at a discounted rate—or at no cost if needed—because everyone deserves support during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
