By now you have probably downloaded all the apps, joined all the baby Facebook groups and read so much about all the different things you "need to know". It probably all feels too much and just isn't in line with how you envision your birth and postpartum. Society seems to have over complicated birth and parenting way more than it ever needed to be.

Here's something really important I want you to know about me - I really believe in you and your ability to birth your baby. Now, that doesn't mean I am blind to the fact that yeah, sometimes things happen in birth where more is needed, and it is wonderful that we have modern medicine to help us when we need it. However, for the vast majority of births, it works when we allow the body to do what it needs and spend our time focusing on nourishing the birthing person with love and support. 

I am here to help un-complicate it all for you. With my experience both as a parent myself and as a doula in our community, I bring to your pregnancy and birth the knowledge and understanding to help you experience a deeply connected physiologic birth at home. This journey isn't just about birthing a baby, but also about birthing new parents.

I KNOW that birth can be joyous and triumphant. I've seen it again and again with many clients over the last few years working in the Tri-Cities, Ridge Meadows, Vancouver and Fraser Valley. 

Interested in chatting birth?

Because of the level of support I provide my home birth doula clients, I only take on a limited client load each year. If you would like to schedule a free consultation to see if we are a perfect match, please do get in touch!

When I am not doula-ing...

  • I am busy with my three kids - Joseph, Estelle, and Solomon
  • Packing orders and other work for Bellies Inc. - home of the Ab Wrap - a patented postpartum recovery wrap to help heal diastasis recti and restore core function after birth (my other business! You get a free wrap as a client!)
  • Likely doing some home DIY project, much to my husband Michael's dismay - check out my home instagram account 
  • At the pottery studio
  • In the summer months, hanging out in my backyard talking to my vegetable garden
  • Riding my tricycle around the neighbourhood - yes I said TRI-cycle
  • Walking my dog Sgt. Pepper's (no more) Lonely Hearts club aka Pepper, our rescue dog from Tulum Mexico
  • Face-timing my family who are all in the Philippines
  • Watching the Real Housewives of... anywhere (guilty)
"I firmly believe that Samantha's calm, unwavering support on the day
I was labouring, as well as her diligent preparation and education 
​for us is what helped me achieve an unmedicated VBAC,
and finally a birth I was proud of and at peace with. "
