Full Spectrum Doula Services
Supporting families through their pregnancy, child birth and postpartum journey.
My passion for all things birth and babies has led me to here.
During the pregnancy and birth of my three boys, I felt the need for support from my sisters and mother. I realized how important it is to have knowledgable and supportive people around baby, mama and family during pregnancy, birth and after birth. In respecting the process, and holding space for the new mother and baby, I come in and allow bonding, healing, emotional, informational and physical support to the new family unit. I can jump in and help how ever help is needed. I will provide resources and contacts to trusted specialist when they are necessary, go to doctors appointments, child birth classes and navigate through different practices that suit you best.
Every person’s story is unique, their needs are unique to each situation and I can adapt and help in different ways such as meal prep, light house work, baby laundry, organizing, navigating guests and visiting family, and of course help with baby, mom and their needs.
I look forward to meeting you and your family soon!
Testimonials
Lydia has a relaxed yet fun presence that I welcomed as a tired new mom. Her wealth of experience and knowledge of new babies and breast feeding was helpful and reassuring. Knowing what a new mom needs and naming those needs helped me tremendously. I recall getting the first signs of mastitis and feeling so tired and overwhelmed. Those around me were scared and unsure what to do. When I called in Lydia for support, she advocated for me. She knew what I needed most was rest along with some herbal and vitamin supplements. I could rest knowing my baby was well nurtured and got through mastitis without needing antibiotics. She also helped me gain the confidence in baby wearing on my first outing. I can only imagine the support she would give in labour. She did an excellent job encapsulating my placenta as well. I would not hesitate to recommend Lydia to any expectant or new mom to have her as your labour and postpartum doula.

Lydia was such a blessing to have by my side while I went through both of my pregnancy's. Her enthusiasm and knowledge around each stage of the pregnancy was very reassuring, and don't get me started on how crucial she was to me when she talked me through my roadblocks after the baby arrived! Her guidance helped to calm me down when I was worrying for nothing or steer me towards solutions when they were necessary. In this day and age with the overload of information on the internet, it is so important to have a guiding light to help you navigate through the nonesense and find what is pertinent to you and your situation. Lydia has a strong aura of postivity and love around her and I feel lucky to have her on my side.
