While living in Halifax, I was a member of the Volunteer Doula Program through Chebucto Family Centre. In that role, I provided free birth doula support to members of our community in need of support for their birth while a paid doula contract was out of their financial reach. I am also working on completing my PhD research in Sociology, where I am studying what kinds of evidence or information birthing people find helpful in planning for their births. This work is part of the larger advocacy I do to ensure that birthing people are provided with effective, meaningful care that helps them to feel truly supported and empowered during this critically important time in their lives.
While I'm new to being a doula, I've been supporting families professionally since 2010, first as a NICU and pediatric nurse. Being a birth doula means that I get to hold space for YOU, for your mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing all throughout your pregnancy and birth. I want this transformative time in your life to be the most empowered it can be. My standard birth package includes: ongoing phone and text support during daytime hours until 37 weeks gestation; on-call 24/7 support from 37 weeks until your birth; up to three prenatal visits to get to know each other and prepare for birth and baby; in-person labour and birth support at your chosen birth location; and one in-home follow-up postpartum visit within a month of your baby being born.

I cannot recommend Brooke enough as a doula! From the very start, she was incredibly supportive and attentive to my unique and complicated birth plan. When things didn’t go as expected and my birth turned traumatic, Brooke was there every step of the way, advocating for my wishes and ensuring I felt heard. She also supported me through a difficult postpartum period, helping me cope with mom guilt and reminding me that I was doing my best. Her presence truly made all the difference, and I honestly couldn’t have navigated this journey without her. Brooke often crosses my mind because her support was truly a lifeline during a difficult time. If you’re looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated doula, I highly recommend Brooke—she is an absolute gem!

I highly recommend Brooke for post partum support. I felt comfortable and relaxed from the moment she stepped into our home. Brooke has a calm and caring demeanour about her. Having come from a large family, she's a natural at childcare. My newborn daughter warmed up to Brooke instantly, and when she would cry, Brooke was able to settle her when she would cry with patience and affection. By caring for my daughter. Brooke allowed me to focus on self care and nutrition while I was in the early stages of postpartum. Don't hesitate to hire Brooke, you won't regret it!

We had an amazing experience with Brooke! She was an incredible support during our postpartum period, helping not only with the baby but also with meal preparation and caring for our other children. Her friendly and positive attitude made such a difference, and her wealth of knowledge was invaluable. She shared so many practical tips and advice that eased our transition into this new phase of life. We are so grateful for her care and highly recommend her to any family looking for a compassionate and skilled postpartum doula!

Brooke is a wonderful Doula. She was like another member of our family, and visited regularly after the birth of our second baby. She was incredibly helpful, and we all looked forward to her visits - especially our toddler!
The postpartum period can be a challenging time, and on the days I knew Brooke was coming I could breathe more easily knowing help was on the way. Brooke is thoughtful, kind and knowledgeable in all things babies - she also great at entertaining toddlers!
Thank you Brooke for supporting our family through the transition from one to two. If you are thinking of hiring a Doula, definley hire Brooke!

Thanks to your dedication and expertise, I was able to have the empowering and positive birth experience I had hoped for. You truly are a guardian angel for mothers and families!
I highly recommend you Brooke to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive Doula. You will be in excellent hands!
Thank you again for being an integral part of our birth journey. We are forever grateful.
