Ever since I can remember I wanted to be a mom. I’m the youngest of 4 and became an Aunt at age 9. I loved helping my sister with her daughters as the years went by.

But it’s not until you become a mom that you realize how overwhelming it can be.

 

I was born and raised in South Africa. I studied Health And Skin Care Therapy and at the beginning of 2001 became a spa therapist who travelled while working on cruise ships and in 2005 made Vancouver, BC my home.

 

In 2010 I became a mom and a whole new adventure started. I was blessed to have my sister and 2 of my nieces arrive a couple weeks after birth. They were amazing; they cooked, cleaned, took care of baby when I needed a break, they were my village.

When my child turned 1, I started a home daycare with 2 brothers aged 2 & 4 until I got pregnant and had baby #2 in 2013. 

Once again I was blessed to have my sister around. She was like a fairy godmother and helped me navigate being a mom of 2. This is when I knew I wanted to become a Doula.

 

Raising kids is a passion of mine and after my youngest started Kindergarten, I had a wonderful 5 years working at a before and afterschool daycare, but the call to become a doula was too strong. 

My heart resonated with the holistic approach of Wise Woman Way of Birth and got certified through them. 

 

Nurturing mothers of newborns is what I am called to do.

I would Love to be your Fairy Godmother
