My home base (and the Nest & Nourish headquarters) is in Sooke, BC. I serve families in-person across Sooke, Langford, Victoria, Sidney, Mill Bay and the surrounding areas. For birth support I travel to wherever you're giving birth — whether that's at home, the local birth cottage, or at Victoria General or Cowichan District hospital. Postpartum visits are offered in-home throughout my service area. I'm always up to travel! I also offer virtual doula support, coaching, circles, and groups to families anywhere in the world.

My care goes far beyond diaper changes, hip squeezes, and basic birth plans. I bring a unique blend of nursing experience, somatic coaching, holistic nutrition, and deep reverence for birth as a rite of passage — not a medical event to be managed. We'll work together to prepare your body, nervous system, and heart on a deep and intentional level for birth and motherhood. I bring nourishment, herbal support, practical tools, and genuine presence to every family I work with. I'm continually learning new skills to better support you through your perinatal experience. This is holistic, mother-centred care that honours the whole of who you are.

Yes — and many of my clients have midwives they love. A midwife's primary responsibility is the clinical safety of you and your baby. They will likely be in and out of your labour, managing other patients. A doula's sole responsibility is to you — your emotional experience, your nervous system, your confidence, your voice. A doula provides continuous care through it all. The two roles complement each other beautifully, and having both means you're truly held from every angle. My favourite part about doula care is building deep, meaningful relationships with my clients that last long after my care has ended. 

The earlier the better — ideally in your first or second trimester. That way we have ample time to connect and work together to prepare you for what's to come. Birth support spots fill quickly, especially around the 28–32 week mark when most families start actively looking. That said, if you're further along, please still reach out — I will always do my best to support you if I have availability.

Yes. I believe every mother and family deserves holistic support regardless of financial circumstances. Sliding scale, payment plans, and custom packages are available — please don't let cost stop you from reaching out. We'll find something that works for both of us.

*Funding may also be available for indigenous families through the Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant Program. I am an approved doula with the program. Reach out for more information. 

We'll start with a free connection call — a relaxed, no-pressure conversation on zoom to get to know each other and make sure we're a good fit. It's allllll about vibes for me, and it should be for you too! I'll answer your questions, inquire about your needs and desires, and share how I can best support you and your family. If it feels right for both of us, we'll talk through packages, pricing and next steps. I strive to respond to all inquiries within 48 hours (but the doula on-call life sometimes prevents that!).
