Juno Bug Birth Support (Doula)

I have had the pleasure of having Kirby in my life for the last couple of months as I have transitioned into motherhood for the first time. She has been an absolute blessing as I had no idea how hard breastfeeding and postpartum could be. She was available 24x7 to answer my questions over text which has been absolutely invaluable to me as I navigate this new world of motherhood. She is calm, responsive, reliable and extraordinarily helpful; she just knows what I need help with without me even asking. My daughter really likes her. We call her our ”baby whisperer” because when she is around my daughter is calm and just sleeps. On top of her postpartum knowledge, she is an excellent cook and housekeeper (and I have been told throughout my life that I have very high standards). I would highly recommend Kirby and a postpartum doula to any new mother and especially anyone like me that does not have a strong local support network. She has made the hard parts of becoming a mom easier and at the same time helped introduce me to my new community of Tsawwassen and made it feel more like home. Thank you, Kirby!!

I can't imagine what our birth would have been like without Kirby. In pregnancy, her wealth of information and ability to assuage fears was invaluable. During labor, her calm confidence and gentle support made me feel completely safe and cared-for from beginning to end. I was amazed at how she could perfectly read the situation (often based only on the sounds coming from my partner in the bathroom!) and act swiftly and accordingly. Kirby constantly made us feel that she believed in us. Postpartum, she was always there to answer any questions and provided helpful tools to facilitate a comfortable, healthy start.
