As a mother of two children, both born at home, I am very familiar with the ups and downs of pregnancy and childbirth.

For me, being a doula is not so much a career choice as it is a calling.  After the birth of my second child it dawned on me that the most powerful and beautiful moments of my life were the births of my children.  I realized that I wanted to help other women to have the same feelings towards their birth experiences.

In my previous incarnations, I have been a student at York University in Toronto studying Women's Studies and Racial & Ethnic Relations, I have traveled the world and lived in both England and Australia followed by a career in the charitable sector. Deciding to become a doula was definitely my "aha" moment.

I believe that childbirth is not a medical condition but rather a life experience.  I understand that every woman has their own expectations regarding birth and my goal is to simply help women make informed decisions about what they want and to support those goals.
