I believe with all my heart that every mother, parent and child is worthy of compassionate, gentle and respectful support. No one should have to rely on "luck" to get the care and attention they deserve after the birth of a baby.​​

Our “Birth” Story…

My husband and I eagerly awaited our first baby’s arrival by reading all the books and paying close attention during our prenatal classes. We were both feeling pretty confident that welcoming our little one into our family was going to be an easy and natural transition.

 Once our baby was in my arms
it didn't take long for a new realty to set in. 

 I remember wanting desperately to breastfeed my sweet baby boy but having no idea how to get his little mouth to open. The videos we watched in prenatal class made it look so easy!

 After getting conflicting advice from well-meaning family, friends and even health care providers, I was left feeling confused and overwhelmed.

I was fortunate to have one particular nurse show up for us in a way that was gentle yet encouraging all while giving me the personal touch I needed to feel secure and confident.

I finally felt ready to grow into my role as a mother, learn to trust my intuition and my baby's innate capabilities. 

 I went on to have 3 more children and began to realize that the support I experienced with my firstborn was uncommon.

I had simply “lucked out”.

It became clear to me that there’s a significant gap in postpartum care in our culture.

This sparked a passion within me!

I made the decision to become a certified Paediatric Sleep Consultant in 2013 because I saw a clear gap—families with babies were struggling, and there wasn’t enough support that honoured both rest and relationship. Sleep felt like the tipping point, where exhaustion met uncertainty, and I wanted to offer practical, caring solutions.

As I worked with more and more families, I realized that cookie-cutter sleep plans weren’t enough. Parents needed more than a schedule—they deserved to feel seen, supported, and empowered.

I transitioned into postpartum doula work and immersed myself in learning everything I could about infant feeding and respectful, connection-based parenting. Along the way, I became a certified Circle of Security Parent Facilitator, completed the RIE® Foundations course, and embraced the core principles of Conscious Parenting.

I’m honoured to support families through one of the most tender and transformative seasons of life—postpartum.

Through my private practice, Sleep Well Mama, I offer in-home and virtual support rooted in respect, connection, and secure attachment. I also serve as a Nurturing Newborns worker with The Children’s Cottage Society, a non-profit dedicated to breaking down barriers and ensuring every family can access compassionate care.

As a bonus, a few times per year, I get to share my passion and experience with the next generation of doulas as a Postpartum Educator and Mentor with the Canadian Doula Academy. This is where I have the privilege of helping aspiring Postpartum Doulas grow into confident, grounded professionals who will continue this vital work.

Each role is a privilege. Every family I support, every doula I guide, is part of a larger calling—to care for mothers, babies, and the village that surrounds them.These experiences shaped the way I support families today—with a holistic, responsive approach that prioritizes connection, confidence, and rest.

Why I Chose the Name
“Sleep Well Mama”

Sleep is a powerful indicator of how things are going—when moms are well-rested, everything feels more manageable. Rest allows them to show up fully for themselves and their babies.

Wellness in motherhood isn’t just about the baby—it’s about you, too. It’s about finding balance between your health, emotions, and peace through rest, self-care, and support. When moms feel strong and cared for, the whole family benefits.

I chose Mama because my passion has always been to “mother the mother” with warmth and kindness. As a doula, my role is to support you first—because when you’re okay, your family thrives.
