Hi, I'm Jillian and I am a proud positive birth ADVOCATE!

The decision to become a Doula came sometime after I gave birth to my fourth child, in spring of 2019. To be honest, I thought I knew a fair bit of what birth doulas had to offer ( I didn't know the half of it) but was completely unaware that support existed specifically for the postpartum period. Had I been more in tune, I CERTAINLY would have hired someone!

Adjusting to life with two under ONE and two more littles in primary school, made for some very hectic days. Days that weren't always filled with joy and all of the ways mothers are "supposed" to feel. Postpartum anxiety hit hard this go around. I needed help. More than my core support system could truly offer.

The pandemic has really opened my eyes to the systemic trauma our heath system truly inflicts upon parents, babies and their families. I've fought the uphill battle of body autonomy, choice and consent alongside so many clients as their rights were consistently pushed and blurred. SO much of our postpartum mental wellness depends on how we view our birth and the control we are given during. 

As a doula, my goal is to educate myself on YOUR wishes, hopes and non negotiables. To support you in them, to help you best inform yourself in the choices you make for your family and to help ensure these wishes and goals are honored within your birth space and beyond into the days and months that follow.

I offer to growing families, what I so badly needed myself in those early weeks and months,  

I can't wait to connect with you!
