"Doulas are adaptable to many different environments and situations, but what’s important is finding a good fit for YOU. I don’t believe there is a proper way to birth. I’ve supported home births, hospital births and c-sections. You can choose a med-free birth or allll the drugs. What matters is that you feel supported and educated in your decision. My goal for all my doula clients is that they feel like they’re have someone in their corner, rooting for them all the way."

"Offering Doula care that is Wholistic in nature, I utilize my knowledge both as a Doula and Registered Nurse to offer care unique to my clients' preferences. I offer many different modalities and therapies including Thai massage, homeopathic remedies, acupressure and pre-natal yoga. The diversity in knowledge and experience provides unique and tailored ways to welcome breath, movement, and ease to each birth"

"Birth is a journey; one that should empower! Over my years as a doula, I have been very fortunate to experience many unique births and it is truly an honour to provide support to each client in a very individualized way. I greatly enjoy being able to share my passion for birth through education and guidance and I continue to look forward to serving families in the Central Alberta area. When you and your team step into your birth space, you should feel confident to navigate the path ahead and be surrounded by compassion and kindness. This is my hope for all birthing families."

I am a mom of 5. I live on a farm south of Drayton Valley and north of Rocky Mountain House. I have been a birth nurd my whole life, and it was only natural that I start a career holding space in the birthing room and postpartum after i was done raising my babies. I believe that everyone has the right to choose what happens in their birth. I also believe that anyone who gives birth knows their body and baby best and so should be listened to.

"My passion is helping parents during their labour and delivery feel empowered. I love seeing parents meet their little one and become a family. Whether you want a homebirth with a midwife, or have a cesarean planned, I look forward to helping you prepare for the process, and be informed of what to expect and how to be an advocate for yourself. I hope your birth story has you feeling supported, encouraged, and empowered."

"Adding a new tiny person to your life is a wild freakin' ride. Whether it's your first or your 12th, you deserve to have someone in your corner who is going to have your (and your partners!!!) back throughout the entire process. The best way to birth is by surrounding yourself with a team that will be there every step of the way. ​If a reading-obsessed, inclusive, Noah Kahan and Hozier screaming, informed consent advocate sounds like your kind of doula, let's chat!"

"I believe that being educated in all of your rights and options is essential for you to have a positive birth experience, regardless of outcomes. In my opinion, there is no “right” way to birth, only the right way for you. It is my goal that all of my families look back on their births with satisfaction and joy."

"Bringing a new life into the world is a magical journey - unique to each woman and family. I am committed to guiding you, supporting you, and providing evidence based information and education to help you attain a positive birth experience."

Hi there! I'm Shelby - wife, and mama to 4 beautiful kiddos. 

​

​I began doula work in 2014 with a desire to help mothers and families feel supported and empowered in their birth and postpartum. I feel strongly about informed consent, and believe that every birth is wildly unique. The right choices look different for every family, and my goal is to help you feel confident in making the ones that are the best for you. ​I am also a professional birth photographer and birth videographer, and am passionate about capturing the raw beauty and emotion of birth – preserving the once in a lifetime moment of meeting your baby, and the incredible strength it took to get there.

​

Thanks for reading, and if photo/video are an important part of your support package, I'd love to chat more!

"Birthing is a unique, powerful and individual experience. Forming a strong prenatal connection is paramount in building a safe, loving and trusting relationship to aid you in feeling confident learning just how you want your experience to unfold. Every single BODY deserves the love and respect of trusting the ability of their body on this journey. No matter the shape, color or size."

"Calm and compassionate doula that supports each birthing family with love and evidence based information to guide them towards a gentle birth. I have a special passion for supporting families through the fourth trimester, helping build their village and adjust to their new realities."
