I have always had a mothering, caring instinct about me. Even as a child, where there was a baby, there I was. If not, I was with my Cabbage Patch Doll. As I grew those instincts continued. I was always making sure people were okay and taken care of. 

As I found myself graduating from High School, I merged this with my love of sport and attended Douglas College, graduating from the Sport Science Diploma Program. With this Diploma, I worked and volunteered in the field of athletics as an Athletic Trainer for 13 years. I specialized in head and spinal injuries, and was blessed to be with one team for my full career, while also having the pleasure of experiencing other teams, sports organizations, volunteer opportunities and job opportunities. It was an amazing and fulfilling career that I sadly had to say goodbye too as other passions were calling. 

My loves were overlapping at this time and a decision needed to be made. At this time, I had been honoured by a volunteer position at a local Hospital in their NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). I was blessed with a position in this area called an Infant Cuddler, or Cuddler for short. This position led me to completing my Doula education during the first part of COVID-19 shut down in Spring of 2020. I love what I do. And I have always loved what I do. 

I am a strong believer that our jobs should not be a “J.O.B” to us. It should be something we are passionate about, something that changes our lives every day, and, I pray, changes the lives of others. Every day I get up and I do not know what the day will hold for me. What I do know, is I can help support, show compassion, and express love to those who around me.
