Doula and Mentor
Certified Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator and Mentor supporting families in Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton and Vancouver.
|
Based in beautiful Squamish BC, I serve families throughout the Sea to Sky corridor and Vancouver. Sparked by the birth of my first niece, this work has become all encompassing. Since attending that first birth in 2006, I have supported hundreds of families and continue to learn and be inspired by every single birth. My goal is to nurture, prepare, and educate families about their choices in birth and early parenting as their family grows.
In 2020, I was offered a seat in the University of British Columbia's Midwifery Program where I am excited to be continuing my journey in supporting growing families as a student midwife! While I am in school, my partner and team of doulas will be caring for the families in our practice. |

What they say |
"I can’t imagine anyone else I would have rather had present for the most special and intimate day. She not only supported me, but helped my partner with having an involved role making it an extremely special day for him as well. Kimberly is not only a lovely, warm, compassionate and empathetic person, but knowledgeable on such a wide range of topics and well respected by the doctors and nurses. I highly recommend all of her services!" -Sarah
"Kim truly helped make our birth story special. Her understanding and respect of our own needs was her priority. Her knowledge of the birthing process and post natal care was above par. I wouldn't do it again without her." -J.L. “Kimberly is the type of doula who goes WAY above & beyond what is often needed or expected. I've known her to do this professionally for many years now and it was no surprise that this is what she brought to the birth of my first child. My baby took a full 5 days to come and she was by my side every step of the way. I refer her to EVERYONE! She comes into a room and brings a warmth and confidence that is hard to explain. The postpartum support (breastfeeding, etc) that she provides is also unique and amazing! I can't say enough good things about her.” -Jenn L. “I'm an older first-time mom and my partner and I had a lot of questions and concerns about the birth and leading up to the birth. Kimberly always made time for us - answering our questions and meeting with us. She put in a lot of time and effort to establish a close, trusting relationship before our birthing time. As a result, the birth was an incredibly positive experience.” -DM |
