As I prepared to welcome him into the world, I discovered just how powerful education, support, and trust in the body can be during pregnancy and birth. That experience ignited a deep passion for supporting women and families during one of the most transformative times in their lives, and it ultimately led me to become a birth doula. Today, I am a certified birth doula with DONA International and have had the honour of supporting over 150+ births. Each birth has reinforced what I believe at my core: that when women are supported, informed, and respected, birth can be an incredibly empowering experience. My approach to birth is holistic and deeply individualized. I believe every family deserves compassionate care, evidence-based information, and unwavering support as they navigate pregnancy, labour, and the early postpartum period. I have supported families through hospital births, home births, and VBACs, and I meet each client where they are—without judgment—helping them make the decisions that feel right for them. As both a mother of three and a doula, I understand the physical, emotional, and transformative journey of bringing a baby into the world. My role is to ensure families feel supported, confident, and empowered every step of the way. In addition to my doula training, I have completed further education in birth and postpartum care, including: Certified Birth Doula – DONA International Certified Postpartum Doula- DONA International Member – Association of Ontario Doulas Red Cross Emergency First Responder (Infant & Child CPR + First Aid) Basics of Lactation Management Lactation for Doulas Workshop – Ann Grauer Postpartum Mood Disorders Training – DONA International Whether you are planning a hospital birth, home birth, VBAC, or are simply seeking more guidance and support, my goal is to help you feel informed, prepared, and deeply supported as you welcome your baby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/18a21bd8-e225-45a2-b6df-71461088b832/290501078_2010408365816658_9047945951458961993_n.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/f08c4d22-54b7-479f-8195-80c5fa2f88c7/E9975E85-7A60-49D1-838A-D91896660D25.jpeg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/3009f2bf-2a17-4fbb-a805-cd78b5f1713e/image0.jpeg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/6204743e-dca8-4f82-a00d-311d62bec0e4/IMG_3476.jpeg Our Team https://mothernurturedoulaservices.ca/work-with-me daily 0.75 2022-05-05 https://mothernurturedoulaservices.ca/contact daily 0.75 2026-03-16 https://mothernurturedoulaservices.ca/reviews-1-1 daily 0.75 2026-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/1654614594597-1LJIZXJSCJ3IR8C2VVZ6/unsplash-image-V106bb1a9BY.jpg Testimonies - “Emily was amazing.

I wouldn't have wanted to bring my son into the world any other way. Emily did so much to make my time more comfortable and was super understanding every time I needed her help afterwards as well. If I end up becoming pregnant again in the future, I will be having Emily as a doula for sure! Such a blessing. — Krystal Hember https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/1654614964014-SBBWJR08OQII4KZSVYZK/unsplash-image-S8BW-Wx9G8I.jpg Testimonies - “Emily was my doula for my first pregnancy and birth. Words can not describe her service to me during this completely new time for my husband and I. We were scared and nervous every step of the way and she was a breath of fresh air being able to ask all our questions to. When it came time to deliver, Emily was there from beginning to end, she showed my husband how to assist through the entire process. I looked for her for guidance and support and she was always there knowing what I needed... She never left my side or turned any of our questions away. After birth she has been great with my baby questions and checking up on all of us! I can't recommend Emily enough to all you pregnant ladies out there! Amazing just amazing! — Lisa Rodgers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/1705443541675-PTPUGFDA2O9X8OBDBDTB/image-asset.jpeg Testimonies - “Emily was an amazing support during pregnancy, labour, and postpartum.

It wasn't until during labour that we knew for sure we had made the right choice. The even better choice with choosing Emily Hime to go through this journey with us. She was knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, patient, understanding, supportive and there for us no matter what we needed. We are so glad that we found her and wouldn't have done it any other way. Thanks so much Emily. Shawn, Cora and I are so glad we found you and that you are part of our lives. You really helped what could've been a scary process not so scary. We thank you to the moon and back” - Pam Slade https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/1773457578337-H213KWHZ1O4S8KPGKO1I/unsplash-image-IbhotFKx9ik.jpg Testimonies - “True Lifesaver and Birth Angel - The Highest Recommendation! My experience with our birth doula, Emily, was nothing short of transformative. Honestly, before we met her, my husband and I felt completely lost and overwhelmed navigating the entire pregnancy and birth process. We didn't know what to expect, and the anxiety was high. From the moment we first connected with Emily, her caring nature and deep knowledge immediately put us at ease. She helped us feel prepared and empowered, shifting our mindset from fearful to focused. When it came time for the big day, I can confidently say I could not have gotten through my birth without her. Her presence was an absolute necessity. Her guidance, and physical support were instrumental, and I truly believe her coaching is what helped me labor quickly and efficiently. Emily supported not just me, but also my partner, ensuring he felt confident and involved every step of the way. She is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in a positive birth experience. As an extra incredible bonus, Emily took amazing birth photos that beautifully captured moments we will cherish forever. If you are looking for an amazing, caring, and truly essential doula, we offer our highest, unreserved recommendation for Emily. She made all the difference! — Sandra Kerr https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/1773457692334-2BN1JKZZYD4PW2EGXT3N/unsplash-image-1vnB2l7j3bY.jpg Testimonies - “Having Emily as my doula for my 2nd baby was one of the best decisions I have ever made. She was so supportive of all my birthing preferences and helped me get through a tough pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She is extremely knowledgeable and is there to truly help you achieve the birth that you envision. Not only did she support me emotionally and physically all throughout my labour, but she also managed to capture the most amazing videos and photos at the same time. If you are looking into having doula support, I highly recommend Emily!” — Lindsay Gregg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/143287b0-2477-44bf-a150-93737cb7ae36/danielle+birth.webp Testimonies - “Emily was such a amazing support person for me through my pregnancy and birth. I had a difficult first birth, so this time I wanted a doula to help me with the mental aspect of labour. Through my whole labor I felt spoiled, she always made sure I had water or juice, affirmation cards, a birth comb to squeeze, and even a fan while I was in the birth tub. She also works so well with the midwives of chatham kent. Also the photos she took of the birth are so amazing I'm glad to have them !!!” — Danielle Marchand https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/af3e2a07-520b-4385-8be8-8fccb1d672c7/chels+birth.webp Testimonies - “Emily was my doula for my second baby and we loved having her as part of our birth team. I wanted to try a home birth but had some fears and was hesitant. Emily helped me to feel so comfortable and confident in my choice to birth at home - I am so grateful to have had that experience. Throughout pregnancy, labour/birth, and postpartum, Emily was so supportive. Her encouragement helped me to feel calm and confident in my choices and in my ability to birth my baby. I really loved that she was supportive of my husband and encouraged him to be my main support while she was there to assist with anything else we needed. We opted for birth photography as well and the photos turned out so beautifully!! I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a doula” — Chelsea Morningstar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/1773458050998-CT7FAI0Y7VVH11OSOYNC/unsplash-image-6yi0oPZSNy4.jpg Testimonies - “Absolutely loved our experience with Emily !

She guided me through some very painful contractions. My husband and I both agree she's extremely knowledgeable, very experienced and the best decision we made for our birth. Her birth photography is beautiful, intimate memories captured.” — Melissa Wigle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/882086bf-40e3-46a5-a38a-66adbf6a6f3d/susie+birth.jpeg Testimonies - “Emily was the doula for my second birth. After my first, I wanted to experience birth as natural as possible. Emily helped me achieve my redeeming birth story. As I was planning a home water birth I was quite nervous about it, but Emily was so encouraging and always had the right words to say when I was having doubts. In the short time we had, she was so personable and made a huge effort to get to know me and my goals. I had a pretty quick labour, but could not imagine what it would have been like without her a part of the team. 100% recommend!!” — Susie Klassen https://mothernurturedoulaservices.ca/faq daily 0.75 2024-01-18 https://mothernurturedoulaservices.ca/postpartum-doula-support daily 0.75 2026-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/8ebd99b3-90dc-4392-addf-5b3e23572e1f/postpartum+pic.jpg https://mothernurturedoulaservices.ca/birth-postpartum-classes daily 0.75 2026-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg Birth & Postpartum Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/6de81fdf-e0f4-49f7-bfe1-91ec9cf7d98c/Frannie2.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/bc8b252a-70aa-4364-b74e-3a0b556cdaba/frannie+birth.jpeg https://mothernurturedoulaservices.ca/about-doula-support daily 0.75 2026-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/fc628733-3ca7-48bc-bec0-8ecab296b3f4/559864709_18427265911097223_1140558060728409814_n.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/1773459614657-IV8B89ERG6SNF9HYZJCU/unsplash-image-o1XLLy7SCCY.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/46218a8b-cd92-4111-9684-95fa47c33f83/280287108_1664755783876001_1477699233819612729_n.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/76ea8e26-4e93-4780-95ad-c882e67ec611/331933086_5188933681210213_3100747243310367638_n.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/07970b3d-55bb-4817-813f-5fcd884d6f0a/JY7A3096-2-1024x696%28pp_w587_h398%29.jpg https://mothernurturedoulaservices.ca/birth-tub-rentals daily 0.75 2026-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273b236797d1a5962186bf2/ac109ffd-de69-4d53-bb19-51cf54b9b9ad/DSC04425+2.JPG
