Shelley Stewart is the Wholehearted Doula.
Shelley and I back up for each other.
We are both committed to making sure we always have a back up for all of our birthing clients.
My name is Linda. I have three grown children and I am blessed with two beautiful grandchildren. I live in Langley and serve Surrey and Abbotsford as well.
As I raised my children with my circle of friends, I noticed a gap in the way we live. Society has become so busy that birthing women are not being supported by their village anymore.
All through history families and neighbors would know when a woman was in labour. They would check in on the birthing mama, helping, supporting, and making sure they had what they needed. They were a community. They made sure birthing people never felt isolated.
Birthing can be hard work. With supportive people around to encourage and care for the birthing mama, an atmosphere of empowerment, during a time when a birthing moms may feel unsure and vulnerable.
When I think about the lack of support and community for young families I feel like standing up and screaming: "This is not right!"
Every birthing person should be in labour with the support of a wise women for companionship, to educate, empower and love her. Someone, she feels comfortable talking to and someone she trusts.
At 53 years old I did some serious soul searching to decide what I wanted to do in the final third of my life, I knew I needed to do something to uplift and support birthing mamas. I woke up to who I truly am.
I am a Birth Doula!
"Linda walked alongside us with the birth of our son in 2021. Her warm and caring demeanor made a world of difference in navigating our medical system during the birth of our first child. The information she provided before the birth and her coaching was so helpful and truly appreciated."
Birth is the most overwhelming and intense experiences of your life, especially as a first-time mom. Having Linda supporting me and my husband during this time brought us so much comfort and gave us both the guidance and reassurance we needed during labour. Linda really cares for you and treats you like family right from the beginning and I highly recommend her for anyone who’s looking for additional birth support!
Thank you again Linda for all your support in bringing our precious girl into this world!
