Toronto & York Doulas
Liz - Postpartum Doula
-
Liz walks gently beside families in the tender season that follows birth, offering care that is rooted in empathy, warmth, and deep understanding. Based in midtown Toronto, she brings a nurturing and non-judgmental presence to every home she enters, knowing that sometimes the smallest acts of support can mean everything.
Her path to doula work was shaped by her own story — giving birth far from home and finding herself adrift in the vulnerable, uncharted waters of new parenthood. A decade after navigating postpartum depression, Liz now offers the kind of steady, loving support she once needed herself. With a background in education and public health, she weaves together knowledge and compassion to guide families through the early days with care that is both practical and deeply human.
Whether she’s tending to a newborn, listening with an open heart, or simply holding space for rest and healing, Liz’s goal is always the same: to help new parents feel seen, heard, and held as they grow into this new chapter of their lives.

Hi, I’m Sherry — a birth and postpartum doula based in Seagrave, ON, supporting families throughout Durham Region, Kawartha Lakes, and the GTA.
After more than 20 years managing complex projects in the fast-paced world of IT, I felt called back to where my heart has always been: birth work.

My approach is calm, confident, and culturally sensitive, meeting families exactly where they are and walking alongside them through one of life’s most transformative seasons. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, I’m here to ensure you feel supported, informed, and empowered every step of the way.
When I’m not supporting families, you’ll likely find me spending time with my lively family and dogs, hiking in nature, or recharging by the water — my favourite places to be.
