Welcome - I’m really glad you are here

Everyone deserves a gentle, safe and caring postpartum experience

Hey, I’m Amanda and I’m a Postpartum Doula in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

I believe you are everything your baby needs. I believe that listening to your own intuition is a very important skill to build as a parent. When you are taken care of, rested and feeling connected to your baby, listening to your intuition becomes a lot easier. My goal is to help you feel calm and confident as a parent to your new baby. Everyone deserves to be supported during their transition into motherhood.

The word doula means “the one who mothers the mother” and that’s exactly what I do -caring for you so you can care for your baby all while feeling rested, calm and supported.

My approach

Every visit starts with me with checking in with you- maybe over a cup of tea or while I make you a nourishing meal. We will chat about what you need that day and make a plan together.

No two visits will look exactly the same and every family has different needs.

    • Caring & non judgmental emotional support
