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 am one of the childbirth educators with Calgary Birth Essentials.  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 with a 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 Janelle!

I am a Registered Psychologist, and Mom of two, with a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology (Adler University, Vancouver, BC). Since 2015, I have been providing compassionate counselling services to individuals and couples in private practice, corporate, and agency settings. I help my clients learn practical tools to manage issues such as prenatal/postpartum depression & anxiety, parenting, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship challenges.

My own journey through pregnancy and parenthood, along with my specialized training in perinatal mental health, helped shape my interest in supporting parents during this major life transition. I primarily work with Moms, Dads, birthing people, and parents-to-be to help them navigate the peaks and valleys associated with the experience of parenthood.

Depending on the unique needs of each client, my approach to counselling offers a blend of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Adlerian Therapy, mindfulness, self-compassion, and Solution-Focused Therapy techniques.  If you feel like we might be a fit—feel free to reach out for a 15 minute free phone consultation to help you decide.

With support, you can realize that you are not alone, and change is possible. I meet you where you’re at, and we move forward from there.

Hi, I’m Dr. Kendra!

My “Dr.” title reflects a PhD in clinical psychology, a degree that’s led to over 15 years of supporting children (0-18 years), caregivers, families, and adults in different settings including hospitals, school divisions, a non-profit organization, and private practice. Importantly, however, I’m a mom and wife experiencing first-hand the incredible joys and complexities of my most meaningful and important relationships: parenting and marriage. I’m also a friend who looks forward to connecting over pizza, coffee, and dessert. Always dessert. And lastly, I’m a fan of hot weather who enjoys live theatre and music, sporting events, travel, and big (really big) cities.

I returned to private practice because everyday I get to do the absolute most important and fulfilling work. Everyday I join with individuals, couples, and new parents as they make and work on goals related to relationships, wellness, parenting, and other things meaningful to them. And everyday, I am trusted with stories and journeys, hurts and pains, strengths and insecurities, feelings and thoughts, laughter and tears, and hopes and goals so that life and relationships look different. More peaceful. More enjoyable. More fun. More meaningful. Maybe Closer. Clearer. Simpler. And often more hopeful and confident. Even easier.
