I am a certified birth doula whose work is deeply rooted in compassion, strength, and connection. A mother of three, a social worker, Hypnobirthing Childbirth Educator and Lamaze Childbirth Educator (in-training), with nearly a decade of experience in mental health, I bring a steady, nurturing presence to every family I support. Whether advocating fiercely for your needs, holding space with tenderness, or wrapping you in one of my famously comforting hugs, I am committed to being a steady, grounding presence as you welcome new life. I believe birth is a normal process that people underestimate their ability in, and hope to be a part of putting an end to fear-based, patriarchal approaches to bringing babies into the world.

Nina is an incredible doula in Toronto. Her calm and compassionate nature shines through in all of the interactions she has with the families she supports. I highly recommend her for birth support

My birth experience wasn't very smooth, I had induced labour and the epidural didn't work well, but Nina being there helped me so much to cope with it better. She encouraged me and guided my breath, fed me water, gave me massages. Thank you Nina.

I cannot thank Nina enough for being the calming, encouraging and grounded support that I need during my first birth. From the beginning of entering our doula relationship, she took the time to understand my needs and plans for my first birth. My husband and I were so grateful to have Nina by our side and support our journey bringing our son into the world. She also provided us with an incredible summary of our birth experience- capturing all the details- a treasure that we will absolutely cherish for many years to come. I highly recommend Nina, especially for a new mom. She was very knowledgeable in preparing me for the birth and was the voice, presence and compassionate support I needed to get through one of the hardest and transformative experiences of my life.
