My birth doula packages include essential support for navigating pregnancy, labour, and early postpartum with more ease and clarity. From thoughtful preparation to continuous birth support and early postpartum care, you're held every step of the way.
Bringing a baby into the world is big, beautiful, and sometimes a lot to navigate — you don't have to do it alone.
As a Certified Full-Spectrum Birth Doula and Advanced VBAC-Certified Doula, I bring steady, experienced support to every family I work with. Whether you're preparing for a hospital birth at Kootenay Lake Hospital, planning a home birth, or navigating a VBAC, I'm here to help you feel confident, informed, and deeply supported.
With continuous care from pregnancy through labour and into your early postpartum hours, I walk alongside you through the planning, the intensity, the unknowns, and the "we actually did it" moments.

Package Pricing
My In-Person Birth Support Packages start at $1,200 and grow based on your unique needs. Payment plans are available — just ask 🤍
Many Canadian insurance plans and benefits providers offer partial or full coverage for doula services, often through Health Spending Accounts (HSAs), Wellness Accounts, or select extended health benefits. Coverage may be available through providers such as Sun Life Financial, Manulife, Canada Life, GreenShield, Pacific Blue Cross, TD Insurance, and Carrot Fertility, among others.
Because coverage varies by plan, I recommend checking directly with your plan administrator or benefits provider to confirm what doula support may be eligible for reimbursement.
I’m also an approved providers under BC’s Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant Program, meaning my Birth Support services may be eligible at low-cost or no-cost. Please contact me for more information.
Supported, no matter what
Here’s the honest truth: birth is unpredictable and babies come when they want to.
This why reliable (and amazing) backup support is built into all of my birth support packages — so you always have support and reassurance, just in case.
I intentionally take on just a small handful of clients each month. That means you get my full attention, my best energy, and a real relationship - not a doula stretched thin across 5 different due dates. So while I always have a plan B, the reality is you'll almost always get plan A: me.
For that “just in case” support, I partner with Sarah Cicchine of Alpine Prenatal, a fellow Nelson-based birth doula, mom, and good friend as my trusted backup. If I truly can't be with you - think back-to-back births or unexpected illness - Sarah can step in so you always have experienced, compassionate doula support by your side.
