About
I’m a Registered Nurse with a passion for postpartum care and maternal mental health. I’ve worked as a postpartum nurse in the hospital, supporting families through those first sleepless, love-filled, “what just happened?” days after birth.
With a Master of Nursing focused on maternal mental health and training in infant feeding support, I’m passionate about helping parents adjust to life with a new baby.
In-Home Postpartum Nursing Care
I provide non-emergency postpartum nursing care to families across the Vancouver area. Care is tailored to meet the unique needs, preferences, and goals of each family. Services are designed to support recovery, confidence, and emotional wellbeing during the postpartum period.

No. My services do not replace care from a physician, midwife, or nurse practitioner. I provide non-emergency postpartum nursing care focused on support, education, and wellbeing alongside your existing medical care.
Services are provided in the client’s home. Availability and service area will be discussed during the initial phone consultation.
No, these services are not covered by MSP. Since I am a registered nurse, my service may be covered by extended health care. Can check with your provider.
