Hello, my name is Janette (she/her), and I became a Doula because being in a supportive role, compassionately and empathetically meeting you where you are at in your journey, is something I am both proficient and passionate about. My own births and parenting experience, along with extensive training in Fertility, Prenatal, Birth, Postpartum and Loss education through Bebo Mia and other reliable resources, has enabled me to have a full spectrum of support I can competently offer to families. I intend for families in my care, to feel seen, heard, empowered and emotionally supported throughout their journey, and to know that their wishes, wants and needs are met along the way. I would specialize my care, with extensive Lactation Support for those intending to or proceeding to feed from their body. For my own care, I practice yoga, spend time in nature, walking and hiking or near water, and I am a very active volunteer in La Leche League Canada and within my community. Primarily, I am a lovingly involved Mother to 3 young children and our furry or feathery family members. I look forward to caring for you and your family.
