Your birth, an experience you will love

Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, a planned home birth or a scheduled cesarean, you deserve someone in the room whose only job is you.

I've spent over a decade beside labouring mothers at Kelowna General Hospital and throughout the Okanagan. I'm there so you can make decisions from a place of calm, with an experienced voice by your side the whole way. The nurses breathe a little easier when they see me walk in, and families do too.

Why me

Trust that can't be bought, only earned, birth after birth

There are many wonderful doulas in the Okanagan. What sets me apart is the depth of my experience and the relationships behind it: over 400 births, ten-plus years, and the hard-earned trust of the doctors, nurses and midwives I work beside. I've been welcomed into rooms and moments where few others are.

  • 400+ births supported across Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton
  • Known and welcomed by local L&D teams at Kelowna General
  • Experienced with hospital births, home births, VBACs, inductions and cesareans
  • Award-winning birth photographer: add the story to the support
  • Genuinely on call: limited families each month, so I'm there when you call

Investment

A premium service, by design

I'm among the most experienced, and most requested, doulas in the Okanagan. I keep my calendar deliberately small so every family gets true 24/7 availability. Investment is discussed on your free consultation call, so it can be shaped around what your family actually needs.

Questions families ask

Kelowna doula FAQs

When should I book a doula in Kelowna?+

Ideally in your first or second trimester. I take on a limited number of families each month so I can be genuinely on call for each one, and due dates fill early, especially in spring and summer.

Which hospitals do you attend?+

Kelowna General Hospital most often, as well as Vernon Jubilee Hospital and Penticton Regional Hospital. I also support home births and births with midwives throughout the Okanagan.

Does a doula replace my doctor or midwife?+

No. Doula support is non-medical: continuous emotional, physical and informational support that works alongside your medical team, never in place of it. After 400+ births, I know how to work with your care providers, and the local L&D teams know and welcome me.

What does a doula cost in Kelowna?+

My support is a premium, limited-availability service, and investment is discussed on your free consultation call, where you can also ask me anything about your birth. There is never any pressure to book.

Can you also photograph my birth?+

Yes. I'm an award-winning birth photographer, and many families book my combined doula + birth photography package: one trusted person for both your support and your birth story.

Also serving families in Vernon and Penticton.
