certified birth Doula -cd-l ~ PRO DOULA & DSA badge

​

Jasper lives in Kamloops with her husband and two young adult children.  In addition to being a birth doula, also works in Kamloops as a community support worker.

Jaspers path to becoming a doula was inspired after having her own doula support for her last birth, a surrogacy journey.  Ever since that transformative experience of giving birth with the support of midwives, doula, partner and the baby’s family she found a passion in her for wanting to support and encourage others on their own path and journeys. 

She trained and certified with ProDoula in 2020, as well as received her DSA Badge the same year~ a key part of credentials for attending births in hospital during COVID-19.

She’s currently working under mentorship with Birth Matters and is looking forward to supporting new families at their births.

After supporting her sister through the birth of her child, Kayla was drawn to the power of birth and intrigued by the process. Since then, Kayla and her husband have had 2 children of their own. Personally experiencing this amazing support emphasized that Kayla wanted to be that person for other families in her community.

As such, Kayla made the decision to seek out and complete her Doula training with Pro-Doula in 2020. She also obtained her DSA Member a key part of credentials for attending births in hospital during COVID-19.

Nicole Cant

BScN,  ICBLC, dona 

Graduating from Thompson Rivers University in 2015 with a BScN, I have worked in the Neonatal Intensive Care, Postpartum, and Labour and Delivery units at Royal Inland Hospital. I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant in June of 2018, and I attended DONA doula training in November 2018. I am most proud, however of my three beautiful children. Each of them from conception through birth and now early adulthood and teenage years has transformed my life. They both humble me and ground me and push me to be the best person I can. My husband and children are my biggest fans. I firmly believe that each birth is both amazing and unique. I will often tell patients/clients families that they are writing their story, one they will remember for as long as they live. My wish for your birth is that you are made to feel strong, supported, empowered, and informed. It is an honour and privilege to be invited to support families at these defining moments.
