Services: As a Labour Support Provider, I accompany women and their partners in labour to help promote a positive birth experience. I draw on my knowledge and experience to provide emotional support, physical comfort, information and interpretation as necessary through pregnancy, labour and birth, and the postpartum period. I provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, offer suggestions for continued progress of labour, and help with relaxation, positioning, and other techniques for comfort during labour and birth. I am independent and self-employed. As your Labour Support Person, I am working for you.

An active doula since 1999, I became a childbirth educator at Sunnybrook and Women’s College Health Sciences Centre 3 years ago. Currently I am the Director of the Antepartum Program for CAPPA Canada.
