Complete Birth + Postpartum Care

Premier, continuous support from pregnancy through six weeks postpartum.

This is not simply birth attendance.

It is comprehensive preparation, experienced support through labour, and generous postpartum care—offered as one continuous relationship so you are not piecing together support as you go.

From the time we begin working together, you have someone who knows your story, understands what matters to you, and is available to help you navigate the questions, decisions, unexpected turns, and early realities of life with a new baby.

Let's talk about your birth

Birth + Postpartum Doula · Calgary, Alberta

Thoughtful preparation before birth

We’ll meet two to three times during pregnancy to prepare for both birth and postpartum.

Together, we’ll talk through:

  • Your hopes, concerns, and previous experiences

  • Birth preferences and priorities

  • Comfort measures, movement, and positioning

  • Induction, interventions, and unexpected changes

  • How to stay informed and involved in your care

  • Your partner’s role and how they can support you

  • Breastfeeding, pumping, and feeding preparation

  • Postpartum recovery and what support may look like at home

Between visits, you’ll have ongoing phone, text, and email support.

That might mean talking through a recommendation from your care provider, helping you prepare questions for an appointment, sorting through conflicting information, discussing a change in your pregnancy, or simply offering reassurance when something is sitting heavily on your mind.

You do not have to save everything for the next visit.

“Choosing Jayne as our doula was a transformative experience. Her absolute superpower is her deeply inclusive nature—she creates an incredibly safe, welcoming space for families from all walks of life, honoring exactly who you are without judgment.”

— Suzanne D., 2019

Experienced support through labour and birth

I go on call at 37 weeks and will join you when you feel ready for support.

I’ll stay with you through labour, birth, and the early postpartum hours until you are settled and resting with your baby.

Support may include:

  • Comfort measures, movement, and positioning

  • Calm, continuous emotional support

  • Clear information as decisions arise

  • Help understanding your options and asking questions

  • Support when plans change

  • Practical guidance for your partner

  • A steady, grounding presence when things feel intense

After seven years of doula work and four very different births of my own, I know that birth can unfold beautifully and still look nothing like the plan.

I’m not there to steer you toward a particular kind of birth.

My role is to help you feel informed, respected, and supported in the birth that is actually happening.

“Jayne exudes the most comforting ‘mama bear’ energy—her care is deeply compassionate, and her expertise is evident in everything she does.”

— Madison M., 2020, 2022, and 2026

Generous care after birth

My support continues through the first six weeks postpartum.

This is where many families realize how much care they actually need.

You are healing, feeding, learning your baby, adjusting to interrupted sleep, and giving an enormous amount of yourself.

I don’t believe mothers are meant to do that depleted.

Postpartum support may include:

  • Breastfeeding support and troubleshooting

  • Pumping support

  • Guidance as your body recovers

  • Newborn care and reassurance

  • Questions about feeding, sleep, recovery, and what is normal

  • Ongoing phone, text, and email support

  • Referrals when additional medical, lactation, or specialist care is needed

  • Nourishing meals, broths, teas, and snacks

Sometimes you need information. Sometimes you need reassurance. Sometimes you need someone to notice that you haven’t eaten.

And sometimes you need a warm meal, a clear answer, and one less thing to carry.

“While my baby was in the NICU, Jayne was there with me: helping me learn to pump, providing emotional support, making incredibly nourishing meals, and even coming over one day simply to do the dishes so I could sit and rest.”

— Emily B., 2022 and 2024

Testimonials

  • Choosing Jayne as our doula was a transformative experience. Her absolute superpower is her deeply inclusive nature—she creates an incredibly safe, welcoming space for families from all walks of life, honoring exactly who you are without judgment. On top of her exceptional emotional and physical support, she is a top-notch chef who prepares the most nourishing, delicious postpartum meals that truly heal the body. She nurtures both the soul and the family, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Suzanne D., 2019

  • When our son was born and spent his first months in the NICU, having Jayne there was such a relief. There were so many things we were trying to figure out as first-time parents, from pumping and feeding to latch issues, and I often felt pretty helpless. Jayne was such a steady source of support for my wife and for both of us. Her food also kept us going through the long days and sleepless nights.

    I’m so grateful we had Jayne with us during such an overwhelming time. If we ever have more children, I’d want her there with us again without hesitation.

    — Kristian B., 2022 and 2024

  • With my first birth, I knew my son would need an extended NICU stay because of a congenital condition we learned about at 20 weeks. Jayne helped me feel confident and prepared for birth, and when I was ultimately induced and ended up needing an emergency C-section, she made me feel incredibly cared for—especially in those difficult days afterward.

    While my baby was in the NICU, Jayne was there with me: helping me learn to pump, providing emotional support, making incredibly nourishing meals, and even coming over one day simply to do the dishes so I could sit and rest. Because it was during COVID, she wasn’t allowed in the hospital, but I know she would have been an incredible support there, too.

    When I became pregnant with my second, I knew I wanted Jayne by my side. She has an extraordinary ability to bring calm to the chaos of pregnancy and birth, and she will always be my number-one speed dial for anything pregnancy or birth related.

    — Emily B., 2022 and 2024

  • I have had the pleasure of being cared for by Jayne throughout every stage of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Her care is incredibly compassionate, and her expertise in all things pregnancy and birth is evident in everything she does. Jayne exudes the most comforting “mama bear” energy and is truly a pleasure to be around.

    Her food offerings are also a game changer for postpartum healing and wellness. Having nourishing, thoughtfully prepared meals during such a tender season is an incredible gift.

    Although the pregnancy and birth chapter of my life has now come to a close, I would choose Jayne to be part of that journey again and again. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

    — Madison M., 2020, 2022, and 2026

One relationship, not a collection of add-ons

I don’t believe exceptional care should feel transactional.

I don’t want you wondering whether a question is worth sending, whether you have used too much of my time, or whether you need to purchase another hour of support.

Some weeks you may need very little.

Other weeks you may need much more.

That is the nature of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

So rather than dividing your care into separate services and hourly add-ons, I offer one complete experience from pregnancy through six weeks postpartum.

You should be able to reach out when you need support without rationing it.

The care surrounding a mother should be generous enough to meet what this season asks of her.

If this feels like the kind of care you’ve been looking for, I’d love to hear from you. Fill out the form below to book a complimentary, no-obligation consultation, and we can talk about your birth, your hopes, and what support might look like for you. I’ll be in touch soon.
