Your Labourhood Doula
Full Spectrum Doula Services
I am a full spectrum Doula serving families in Victoria, Esquimalt, Saanich, Sidney
and Langford and I'm ready to connect with you.
I provide non-judgmental emotional, educational and physical support during your pregnancy, labour and into the fourth trimester. I provide evidence-based information so you and your family can make informed decisions in the best interest of your newborn baby. I want to be your Labourhood Doula.
Hello
My name is Cleo
Growing up in a family full of strong, empowering women has influenced my decision to become a Doula. I was surrounded by these women with all types of birth experiences. As a child I was always drawn to babies and how fascinating it is that a woman's body can create, grow and nourish a new life.
​
After giving birth to my daughter, I knew I wanted to help other people feel the same empowerment and support I felt during my pregnancy and birth. I have found my path and am honoured to help families at this transformative time.
​
I am now mother to three wonderful active kids, a daughter followed by fraternal twins (boy and girl). When I'm not supporting other incredible families, I am with my family exploring playgrounds and the rest that Vancouver Island has to offer.

My Journey
I have had a few career paths but I have found the one I was meant to follow, being a doula for birthers across Vancouver Island. My training with Wise Women Way of Birth has given me extensive knowledge of the physiological birthing process. As a mother myself, I have both training and personal experience with pregnancy, twins, birth and postpartum life. I nourish the birther and baby as a unit and provide support to the entire family into the postpartum phase.
​
I acknowledge every birth journey will be different but I believe in your ability to make the right decisions for your family and will help you implement those decisions in your home. There are lots of options we discuss to help you at this transitional time of your life.
Living in a city like Victoria or Saanich, where most people are far from their families, I am here to help fill that void with support at this most crucial life changing time. To learn more about me and the services that I offer, please get in touch.
TESTIMONIALS
I’m grateful to have Cleo as part of my birth team. She was very knowledgeable, easily accessible, and had access to many helpful resources. My confidence in my ability to give birth grew because of her, and she really helped guide my husband on how to best support me. I especially appreciated Cleo checking up on me, as well as her ability to calm and encourage me. Because she's a mother herself, I knew I could trust her advice. I would highly recommend Cleo to anyone considering a doula.
