A little more about me
I’m a wife, mom, and small-town soul who loves the kind of life that leaves room for family, community, and genuine connection. I grew up in a big city, but Hinton has become home, and I’ve come to really appreciate the closeness and sense of community that rural life offers. That’s also part of why I’m so passionate about offering doula care locally, where families may have fewer options for this kind of support.
At the heart of my work is creating space for people to feel heard, respected, and cared for. I want to know your story — the hard parts, the good parts, the things you’re proud of, and the experiences that have shaped you. My goal is to be a steady presence who listens without judgment and helps you feel informed, supported, and confident in the choices that are right for you.
Teamwork is a familiar theme in our family. My husband coaches a variety of sports, and we still jokingly refer to the birth of our child as a “fun group project.” It makes us laugh, but it also captures something I genuinely believe about birth: you deserve to feel surrounded by people who are on your team, understand their role, and are fully invested in supporting you.
Professionally, I hold a Master of Physiotherapy and continue to work as a practicing physiotherapist. My doula work is separate from my physiotherapy practice, but my background has given me a strong understanding of anatomy, body mechanics, movement, communication, and patient-centred care — all of which influence the way I show up as a doula.
Outside of work, I love quilting, baking, camping, fishing with my family, and travelling whenever we get the chance. One of our more memorable adventures was a coast-to-coast road trip across Canada when our baby was just five months old — ambitious, slightly chaotic, and very us. More than anything, I enjoy the simple moments that bring people together and make life feel a little more connected.
My Values
Every family deserves to feel welcomed, respected, and supported. I proudly care for families of all identities, backgrounds, structures, and paths to parenthood, including LGBTQI+ families, and strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable being fully yourself.
Inclusivity
Connection starts with feeling truly heard and understood. I take the time to listen to your story, your hopes, your worries, and your experiences so the support you receive feels personal and grounded in who you are.
Connection
You deserve information you can trust when making decisions for yourself and your family. With a strong background in science and healthcare, I draw on current evidence to help you understand your options and feel confident making choices that are right for you.
