Our Story
Dawn and Laura met at a local baby group after they each had their second child. They
bonded over their passion for the rights of women in birth. They decided to train to become Birth Doulas with DONA in 2011.
Through the facilitation of evidence-based information Laura and Dawn are passionately committed to helping empower expectant families during pregnancy, birth and beyond to create community connections and work toward changing the culture of birth.

Meet The Team
Laura B.A. (Animal Science), CD DONA
Laura was raised on a farm in the Annapolis Valley. She loves to see how nature and nurture has an effect on our everyday lives.
She is a certified DONA Birth Doula, and is a co-leader of her local La Leche League group. Laura hopes that by working with women and families, she can help them feel strong and encouraged to follow their own instincts and intuition.
Laura has experience with plants, ecosystem management and ran a small CSA (community supported agricuture) farm.
Laura, her husband and their 4 children have a small piece of land nearby where they have a little farm. Here, they grow as much of their own food as they can.
Dawn B.A. (Nutrition) MSc, CD DONA
Dawn is a proud momma bear to her two incredible children, a strong advocate for midwifery care, a DONA certified Birth Doula and a CAPPA certified Childbirth Educator. She holds a deep belief that “birth matters” and that knowledge is power!
Outside of her birth work, Dawn has a background in nutrition and health promotion and enjoys her roles in the Annapolis Valley Farm to School Snack and a local school cafeteria lunch program.
She loves camping with her family, playing board games and letting loose on the dance floor!
In both her personal and professional life, Dawn strives to relate to people with compassion, courage and connection
