Placenta Encapsulation Specialist

I am a cisgender queer settler living on Katzie nation land (Langley) with my partner, our two children and our giant dog. I have been a full spectrum doula working on this land for 7 years, and the foundation of my doula work is built upon the roles I have held throughout my life and within my communities.

My first roles were as a daughter, sister, and friend. My adolescence introduced the role of ‘coach’ as I worked with a competitive swim club in my hometown for 10 years, and then other complex and lifelong roles like being an additional caregiver to another’s young children, a partner and a mother followed.

My life experiences sparked a special interest in things like body physiology and mechanics, the mind-body connection, brain development and function, human sexuality, and the effects that culture and community have on both the roles within families, and on the entire timeline of the human experience.

These interests are reflected in my doula work with my enthusiasm for providing birth giving folks and their support people with well rounded education in the perinatal period that includes how birth can unfold, how the brain and body changes in the process, how to navigate culturally driven medical systems, and how to meet the rite of passage of being a birth giver and the shifting season that this rite brings, in a way that feels authentic to each individual.

My doula work is always applied with an evidence based, individualized, and family centred approach, and I strive to provide trauma informed care, acknowledge my bias, and be informed by my privileged ability to gain extensive experience attending births both in homes and hospitals, and work collaboratively with various forms of health care, both medical and paramedical.

I love doing deep work with folks as they explore their own human timeline and move through one of life’s biggest milestones with intention, curiosity, and reverie for the whole childbearing year.

Prenatal + Postpartum Yoga

I was born and raised in Maple Ridge. After spending a few great years in Fredericton NB for an undergrad in Leadership and Women's Studies, I returned home to the Fraser Valley and am now settled in Yarrow with my husband, two young daughters, a dog, a garden, and two cats.

Like Steph, I was a doula before I knew what a doula was, walking alongside both my sister and a friend on their homebirth journeys over a decade ago. I have now birthed two babies of my own. Being on the receiving end of Steph and Michelle’s doula magic during my birthing times sealed the deal on my passion for this work. It went from thinking “maybe I’ll be a doula when I grow up” during my first pregnancy in 2020-21, to completing an extensive doula training during my second pregnancy in 2022-23.

In the summer of 2024 I began a mentorship with Wildflower, drawing on Steph and Michelle’s collective wisdom gained through supporting hundreds of births. My mentorship completed in late winter 2025 after having attended and case studied dozens of births. I now work as a team of 2 with Michelle, taking turns on-call for our shared birth clients.

Teaching yoga for the birth year is also a really important thread in my work. After my first birth was so deeply and beautifully affected by yoga and meditation, I have built on a previous 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with an 85hr Prenatal YTT. This deepening of my practice was personally transformative during my second pregnancy, and it has enabled me to share the potent tools of mindful breath + movement for birth and motherhood.

Thank you to the incredible Wildflower team for entrusting me to step so fully into this work with them. And of course, most importantly, gratitude to the families who welcome me into their birth space to serve and learn at their feet.

Postpartum Doula/Reiki Practitioner

My family is originally from India, though I was born in Dubai and immigrated to Canada in 1996. I grew up in Richmond, spent my twenties in Vancouver, and now live in Langley with my husband, our two children, our dog Flaca, and our cat Moon. These places shaped me, but becoming a mother is what truly opened the path I walk today.

After the birth of my first child, I realized just how much support, rest, and nourishment is needed during the postpartum period. By the time I welcomed my second baby, I wanted that experience to feel different. I prepared not only for the birth itself but also for the weeks that would follow. Drawing from traditional Eastern postpartum practices, especially those rooted in Indian culture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, I embraced the concept of “lying in” and adapted it in a way that fit my life.

For my first postpartum, that meant limiting visitors for 40 days and then gathering with loved ones in celebration. With my second baby, I leaned even more deeply into rest and nourishment. I stayed home, followed the 5-5-5 rule, ate warm, nourishing foods, and made space for my body and spirit to truly recover. Rest, warmth, and the presence of caring individuals became the pillars of my healing, and the difference I felt was profound. During those early days cocooned in my room, I quietly thought: one day I want to help someone else feel this held and supported.

Around this time, I was also navigating the intensity of parenting two young children while tending to my own personal healing. I was tired, stretched thin, and in need of something gentle and grounding. That’s when Reiki entered my life.

Reiki gave me a place to rest when my mind was busy, a sense of calm when my body felt overwhelmed, and the quiet I had been longing for. Through daily self-practice and offering Reiki sessions to friends and family, I slowly reconnected with my heart and returned to a steadier, more grounded version of myself.

As my relationship with postpartum care deepened and Reiki became a core part of my support system, the two naturally wove together. Supporting new parents and families felt like an extension of everything I had learned through my own experiences.

Today, as a certified postpartum doula and Jikiden Reiki practitioner, I support families in ways that honor body, mind, and spirit. I provide in-home postpartum doula services, newborn care, emotional support, nourishing meals, and Reiki sessions to help families rest, recover, and feel deeply supported. My approach is rooted in the belief that postpartum care should be slow, nourishing, and lovingly supported, just as traditional practices have shown for generations.

The postpartum weeks are sacred. They ask for softness, warmth, rest, and care, not pushing, performing, or “bouncing back.” My hope is to help families feel held, supported, and empowered as they navigate this tender and transformative time.

Certified Breastfeeding Specialist

I am an Ontario transplant who now lives on an egg farm in the Fraser Valley with my husband, our two kids, two dogs & two cats. I have always been drawn to everything pregnancy, birth and babies. I was a doula before I even knew what a doula was 15 years ago when I was invited to be a part of a friend’s birth. Since then, I have given birth to three babies of my own, finished my B.A. in Psychology from UBC, and completed a handful of different doula and birth-related trainings.

In my practice as a doula, I draw on my own personal experiences with pregnancy, loss and birth, my trainings, and the wisdom I have acquired from the over 115 births I have attended to provide individualized support to each family. I love birth work as I get to be a forever student and learner! I have had the honour of attending births of all types ranging from unplanned HBAC (Home Birth After Cesarean) to planned cesarean, and everything in between. I am forever grateful to each family who invites me to be a part of their birthing journey.

My current focus is on running the daily operations behind the scenes here at WFBC and working to become an IBCLC with the amazing support of my mentors Katy at Simply Nourish and Tracey at By Your Side Lactation.
