About me
Hi, my name is Wendy, a full-spectrum holistic Birth and Postpartum Doula driven by a personal mission: to ensure no mother feels unheard or unsupported during birth, as I once did. My passion is to provide unwavering love and care during this sacred and intimate time. I offer comprehensive support as a birth and postpartum doula, lactation, childbirth educator, sibling doula, HypnoBirthing Educator, and a special place in my heart for young mothers. My practice is built on empowerment, evidence-based knowledge, compassion, and a non-judgmental, client-led approach. You’ll find me to be a calm, empathetic, and supportive presence, dedicated to fostering a nurturing and professional environment for your journey, as well as supporting the family as a whole. As a mother of two, I deeply understand the transformative power of birth and the beauty of motherhood.

Ratings and reviews
We had a harder than expected go during our first child with multiple sleepless nights and really wanted to have a better support framework for our second.
Having Wendy as our nighttime doula was an amazing experience. She started a few days after our daughter was born and was crucial support for the first two months. Having her allowed my wife to make a faster recovery post birth and have her enjoy the baby a lot more.
She is very professional, responsible, punctual and knowledgeable. After the first day which is always scary, we felt incredibly comfortable with her being with our baby.
We highly recommend her. It made the newborn phase a lot of a better experience and my wife and I were both way more functioning and present for our little one.
Being able to have the nights to fully rest is priceless and makes everything about life significantly better.
