Some careers are simply a job. Others change how you see yourself, your community, and the difference you’re capable of making.

Birthwork did that for me. 💜

From October 23–27, I’ll be teaching Doula School’s in-person Birth & Postpartum Doula Training in Toronto. This immersive five-day training is designed to give you the knowledge, practical skills, confidence, and support you need to begin doing meaningful work with growing families.

You’ll receive:

💜 Two internationally recognized certifications
🌎 Connection to a worldwide community of doulas
👐 Hands-on birth and postpartum support skills
📣 Practical advocacy and communication training
📜 Eligibility to join Canadian provincial doula associations
🌿 Ongoing guidance as you begin building your career

This isn’t a training where you simply sit, watch, and take notes. We practise, ask questions, build relationships, and prepare you to step into this work feeling capable and supported.

If you’ve been feeling called to birthwork, this may be your sign to take the next step.

Ten years ago today, I attended my very first birth as a doula. Today, that baby turns 10. 💙

Happy birthday, Avril! You will always hold a special place in my story.

As I look back on this past decade, I think about all the families who have invited me into their lives, all the births I’ve witnessed, and all the moments that have stayed with me long after I’ve gone home.

The joy. The uncertainty. The strength. The moments when plans changed and we found our way forward together.

Each experience has shaped me. I’ve grown in knowledge and confidence, but also in my ability to listen, hold space, and recognise what each family needs from me. Ten years in, I’m still learning, and I’m still moved by the trust people place in me.

To every family I’ve supported: thank you. Thank you for letting me walk beside you through such a meaningful part of your story. You have become part of mine, too.

I’m so grateful to be doing this work, to be on this path, and to have found a calling that continues to mean so much to me.

Ten years of showing up. Ten years of growing. And so much gratitude for everything still to come. 💙

Allow me to reintroduce myself 👋

I’m Nadine, a birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, lactation educator, placenta specialist, doula instructor and mentor.

Since becoming a doula in 2016, I’ve had the incredible honour of supporting more than 350 families through pregnancy, birth and those tender early postpartum days.

Whether I’m walking into a hospital, teaching future doulas or helping new parents find their footing, my goal remains the same: to help families feel prepared, grounded and empowered.

If you’re expecting a baby, navigating postpartum or dreaming of becoming a doula yourself, you’re in the right place.

Follow along for evidence-based education, honest conversations and a behind-the-scenes look at life as a doula.

Walking through these doors never feels routine.

Even after supporting hundreds of births, I still feel the weight and privilege of being invited into such an intimate, life-changing moment.

A new baby is about to be born. A family is about to change forever. And I’m heading in, ready to bring calm, reassurance, knowledge and steady support through whatever the hours ahead may hold.

This work will never be “just another day at the hospital.”

It is always an honour.

Having doula support means having someone in your corner who understands birth, knows your preferences, and helps you feel prepared, grounded and empowered every step of the way.

A doula doesn’t replace your partner or your medical team, we help everyone work together so you feel informed, supported and never alone.

What would having that kind of support mean to you? 💙

Two hospitals. Two beautiful births. One unforgettable night on call. 💙

I started the evening at Scarborough General, where a sweet baby girl made her arrival. A few hours later, just as I got home, another client called, her contractions were coming every three minutes.

There was no going to bed just yet!

I headed straight to Lakeridge Health Oshawa, where things moved incredibly quickly. Her entire labour was only 2 hours and 45 minutes, and her baby boy arrived at 2:44 a.m. There wasn’t even time to take photos, that’s how fast it all happened!

This is the unpredictable reality of life as a birth doula. Some nights are quiet. Others take you from one hospital to another, witnessing two families meet their babies within the span of a few hours.

Exhausted? Absolutely. But mostly, I’m just so grateful that this is the work I get to do. ❤️

Putting the doula content aside for a moment because today was about me. 💙

I’ve been struggling with what to do with my hair for quite some time. I wanted to work with my natural grey instead of constantly fighting it, but finding someone who truly understood grey blending, and what I was hoping to achieve, wasn’t easy.

Then I saw the hair of a former client of mine and she looked incredible. Naturally, I immediately went looking through the page of the woman who had done it…and that led me to Nicky at Jesus is my King 👑 He is my business partner 🤝

Today, I finally took the leap and trusted her with my hair. I don’t have the final reveal ready to share just yet, but it’s coming!

Have you embraced your greys, covered them, or are you somewhere in between? Tell me below. 👇

Hi, I’m Nadine! ✨

If you’re new here, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Nadine, a Birth & Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, and mentor to new doulas. For nearly a decade, I’ve had the incredible privilege of walking alongside families during one of the most transformative seasons of their lives.

I’ve supported more than 350 births, but what continues to inspire me isn’t the number, it’s the relationships.

I believe every family deserves to feel heard, respected, informed, and genuinely supported. My role isn’t to make decisions for you, it’s to help you understand your options, build confidence, and create space for you to make the choices that feel right for your family.

Whether you’re planning an unmedicated birth, an epidural, an induction, a cesarean birth, or you’re simply feeling overwhelmed by all the information out there, I’m here to provide evidence-based education, emotional support, hands-on comfort measures, and a calm, reassuring presence.

Beyond birth, I also support families as they adjust to life with a new baby through postpartum care, newborn education, feeding support, and placenta encapsulation.

When I’m not attending births or teaching classes, you’ll usually find me mentoring the next generation of doulas, reading the latest birth research, cuddling a newborn, or spending time with my family (and my very enthusiastic dogs, Zeus & Hera🐾).

At the heart of everything I do is one simple belief:

🤍 Birth isn’t just about welcoming a baby, it’s also about welcoming a new parent.

Thank you for being here and allowing me to be part of this amazing community.

I’d love to get to know you! Tell me in the comments:

Some births are fast. Some are long. And some ask everyone in the room to dig a little deeper.

Today was one of those births.

After hours of patience, perseverance, teamwork, and unwavering trust, this incredible family welcomed their baby into the world.

Watching my clients find strength they didn’t know they had never gets old. Every birth reminds me why I do this work.

I don’t measure success by how quickly a baby arrives or whether everything goes exactly according to plan. Success is seeing parents feel supported, informed, respected, and empowered through every twist and turn of their journey.

Today was one of those days, and I couldn’t be happier for this beautiful family.

I left the hospital tired, grateful, and once again reminded what an incredible privilege it is to be welcomed into one of life’s most transformative moments.

Congratulations to this amazing family. It was an honour to walk alongside you.

One of the greatest gifts this work has given me is the people I get to share it with.

Today I met up with Coral Adams for brunch. We spent a few hours catching up, dreaming big, and talking about both our short-term and long-term goals.

Coral has been my secondary doula for the past two years, but our journey together actually began even earlier. She was part of my very first doula training as an instructor with Doula Canada back in 2022. Watching her grow into the incredible doula she is today has been such a privilege.

Something I’ve been intentionally changing in my language is referring to this role as a secondary doula rather than a backup doula. Words matter.

A secondary doula isn’t “Plan B.” They’re a trusted colleague, an experienced birth professional, and an extension of the care and values I promise every family. They’re someone I trust completely to step in seamlessly should the unexpected happen, ensuring my clients are always supported.

Birth work was never meant to be done alone. The strongest care comes from collaboration, mentorship, and a community of professionals who genuinely want to see one another succeed.

I’m so grateful for friendships like this, ones that challenge me, inspire me, and remind me that while birth may be the work we do, it’s the relationships we build along the way that make this career so meaningful.

Here‘s to dreaming bigger, supporting one another, and continuing to grow together.
