Hi, I’m Ashley!

Hi, I’m Ashley. I’m a postpartum doula based in Calgary with a background in holistic nutrition, lactation counselling, preconception health, and women’s wellness. After spending several years living and training abroad, my goal is to bring a grounded “back to roots” approach for supporting women through motherhood. Whether I’m caring for a new family or mentoring women through life’s transitions, my focus is offering compassionate and intentional care. Outside of my doula work I love longboard, surfing, travel, cooking, and time with my little beagle Benny.

I have  been caring for children for over 10 years and has excelled at my transition to postpartum and newborn care.

Hi, I’m Jennifer O!

Hi, I’m Jennifer W!

I’m a birth and postpartum doula, and a mom of three daughters. I understand that birth is a completely normal, natural process, as well as a deeply meaningful life transition and rite of passage. I’m passionate about helping families feel informed, supported, and truly seen as they move through it.I have a background in holistic nutrition, which means I place a strong focus on nourishment and rest during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Not only that, I come to pregnancy and birth with a holistic mindset, understanding that the health and wellbeing of people comes from caring for their whole selves. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll usually find me writing novels, travelling around Mexico, or curled up with a good book!

Hi, I’m Mollie!

I am one of the childbirth educators with Calgary Birth Essentials. I have been a Birth worker for almost 12 years as a Labour and Delivery Nurse and Birth Doula. I am married to my best adventure buddy and Mom to an amazing 5 year old.

I’m happiest near water, especially on a paddleboard, fly fishing, or just doing anything outside with my family.

I am passionate about empowering people to have the best birth and parenting experience possible!

Hi, I’m Jody!

I have been working as a registered nurse in maternal and infant health for over a decade. I am passionate about helping others to learn about the amazing things our bodies and minds are capable of within the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences.

My passion comes from witnessing and facilitating birthing families as they make this incredible journey together, and seeing how truly empowered they can be.

When I’m not at work in the hospital or teaching you can find me playing the French horn witha local wind symphony, crocheting, creating art, wrangling my many pets, paddleboarding, or spending time with loved ones. 

I look forward to learning and exploring alongside you!

Hi, I’m Cristina!

With over 13 years of experience nursing in low to high risk obstetrics, postpartum, and newborn areas, as well as public health nursing, and urgent/emergency care, I feel I bring both professional expertise and personal insight to my role as a prenatal educator. I’m passionate about supporting families through one of the most transformative times of their lives: pregnancy, birth, and beyond. My goal is to help individuals, couples, and families feel confident, informed, and empowered through their journey into parenthood.

I believe that knowledge is the key to achieving that empowerment and confidence. I strive to provide clear, compassionate, and evidence-based education so families can make decisions that feel right for them in the most holistic way I can.

As a mom to a beautiful blended family of four children, ranging in age from 6 to 18, and an aunt to many nieces and nephews, I feel I’ve learned firsthand the incredible joys and the challenges that come with growing a family, and continue to learn as my family grows. My family is everything to me and when I’m not working, I love spending time doing anything and everything with them and with my friends. Personally, my faith keeps me going daily, I’m a passionate foodie, and I’m always seeking to learn and grow, both for myself and to better support those around me.

Hi, I’m Nicole!

When I was pregnant, I was scared to give birth. I believed home birth wasn’t an option for first-time moms, and that having a baby was mostly something to “get through.” Then Covid restrictions meant I could only have one support person at the hospital—my husband or my doula. Choosing to stay home gave me both, and helped me realize that preparing for birth is less about gathering information and more about unlearning: unlearning fear, cultural conditioning, and the belief that birth is automatically traumatic. That shift helped me find trust in the process.

As a childbirth educator, I don’t just want to share information. My role is to help you (and your partner) reconnect with what the past century has stripped away: trust in birth, trust in your body, and trust in your inner knowing. With a background in mental health nursing and years of exploring holistic wellness and the nervous system, I believe birth is just as much a nervous system event as it is a physical one.

I’m especially obsessed with the whole-body experience of birth—including the identity shift it brings. In a culture hooked on productivity and “bounce back,” I’m here to remind you that birth is meant to change you.

When I’m not teaching or coaching, you’ll find me playing fetch with my border collies, sipping pretend tea with my daughter, or convincing my husband that a WestJet seat sale is a sign we should book a trip.

Hi, I’m Polina!
