Services Provided
Steady support for birth and early parenthood.
With decades of experience and a calm, nurturing presence, I support families through brith and into postpartum with practical wisdom, emotional steadiness and care that honours how tender this season really is.
Imagine entering postpartum with a freezer already filled with warm, healing meals crafted specifically for recovery. This service gives you the nourishment, comfort and rest your fourth trimester deserves, leaving you feeling held, supported and deeply restored so you focus fully on your baby.
Postpartum Healing Is Not One-Size-Fits-All
Every woman’s postpartum story is different — so your recovery should be too. We start with a detailed Postpartum Recovery Assessment and an in-depth look at your diet, lifestyle, birth experience, stressors and past traumas. From there, I create a personalized nourishment and recovery plan that supports hormone balance, nervous system repair and deep replenishment after pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding.
Experience peace of mind with an infant care specialist, aka baby whisperer, offering expert support and nurturing care to guide you through the joys and challenges of early parenthood, ensuring a confident start for you and your little one.
Empower yourself for birth and beyond with private prenatal classes, tailored to your unique journey, providing comprehensive education, practical skills and unwavering support to help you approach childbirth with confidence and grace.
Transform your birthing experience with a la Bassine birth pool, providing a serene and comfortable environment for a soothing water birth at home.
Services are available in the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley.
Bringing a new life into the world is an amazing and beautiful gift!!
Empower yourself with evidence-based knowledge, personalized support and empowering techniques to prepare for birth alongside a dedicated doula, guiding you through every moment of your pregnancy, birthing journey and early postpartum period.
Marriage is a partnership and with children, you become a team. Let’s work together to build a strong foundation for your growing family xx
Client love
“Shelley was the most amazing Doula from start to finish! She taught me so much in such a short period of time in our prenatal visit about birthing positions, support and nutrition to help with healing. She helped tremendously during the delivery, guiding me into my desired birthing positions and providing counter pressure. Lastly, we had a lovely postpartum visit and she even made me a beautiful gift for my home to welcome our baby boy. Can’t say enough good things about this Wholehearted Doula <3”
