About Nurtured Choices

Hi! I'm Kelli, birth and postpartum doula, breast feeding and lactation educator.

I’ve been providing care and support in one way or another for most of my life. I started as a Rehabilitation Worker caring for young adults with various mental and physical disabilities, which lead me to a fulfilling career as a Personal Support Worker for children and adults with severe spinal cord injuries. From 2012-2017 I travelled abroad and found work as a Nanny in Australia, then as a Healthcare Assistant providing Hospice Care to terminally ill patients in New Zealand and even helped rebuild a village on the remote islands of Fiji after a devastating cyclone.
 

Caring for others is rooted in my DNA, but It wasn’t until I began supporting friends through pregnancy and postpartum that I decided I wanted to be a doula. As I listened to their different birth stories, I realized there is a huge gap in the system when it comes to supporting expectant mothers. I want to change that.
 

I want to empower mothers by creating a safe space, where your voice is heard, while providing exceptional pregnancy care, non-judgmental support, and evidence-based information. When things get crazy, I’ll be the calm and steady presence in the room, keeping you educated on all your different options and providing you with the tools to advocate for yourself and own your birth!
 

My #1 goal is making sure you feel supported in your choices and that you’re respected. It’s your body, your birth, your baby; and I’m here to support YOU, no matter what choices you make for you and your family.
