Halifax & Area Postpartum Doulas
Alana Kerrivan, Blossom & Birth Doula Services
Alana Kerrivan is a birth doula committed to providing non-judgemental, evidence-informed, and continuous support to women and families throughout pregnancy, labour, birth, and the postpartum period. She believes birth is a significant life event and that every birthing person has the right to feel supported, respected, and empowered to make informed decisions about their care. Alana is a mother of three, having had her first son at 19 and her youngest at 40, conceived through IVF. Her personal experiences of pregnancy, birth, fertility challenges, and postpartum recovery across different stages of life deeply inform her practice and strengthen her understanding of the physical, emotional, and social support needed during the childbearing continuum. As a member of the Blossom and Birth team, Alana offers continuous emotional, physical, and informational support that is responsive to each family’s unique needs and values. She recognises the importance of supporting not only the birthing person but also the other parent, acknowledging that their confidence, understanding, and emotional wellbeing can significantly influence the overall birth experience. Supporting and guiding the other parent is therefore an integral part of her doula care. Alana’s approach is grounded in respect for autonomy, informed choice, and collaboration with care providers. She is passionate about supporting physiological birth where possible, while holding space for all birth outcomes with compassion and without judgement. Alana is dedicated to walking alongside families with warmth and continuity of care as they transition into parenthood.

Kirstie Smith, Beloved Light Doula
Hello! I’m Kirstie, a proud mama to two daughters, and Elmsdale is where I call home.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by pregnancy, motherhood, and babies. My journey to becoming a doula began with the support I received from my own doula. My passion is in creating a safe, supportive space - physically, emotionally, and mentally - where birthing people can advocate for the birth experience they envision and where postpartum families can find their footing in parenthood.
As a cisgender, straight white woman, I recognize my privilege and am committed to being a strong ally to marginalized communities. No matter who you are or how you identify, I would be honoured to support you through your pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum journey.
If you have any questions or would like to book a consult, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Laura Marino—Blossom & Birth Doula Services
I’m Laura, a birth and postpartum doula based in Cole Harbour, supporting families throughout the Halifax region. I’m also a mom, and that experience really shapes how I show up for the families I work with.
What I love most about being a doula is being able to support people in a way that actually makes a difference during such a big life transition. Whether it’s helping someone feel more confident during labour, supporting feeding, or just taking care of baby or the home so they can rest, I really value being someone families can rely on.
My approach is very flexible and centred around what each family needs, I’m there to support you in what feels right for you. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where you feel heard and supported, whether that’s during birth or in those early weeks at home. I’ve worked with a variety of families, including those without partner support and those adjusting to life with newborns and multiple children. I try to be someone who not only helps in the moment, but also makes things feel a little more manageable overall.
It means a lot to be trusted during such an important time, and I’m grateful for every family who allows me to support them

Wanda Cox, Graceful Beginnings Birth Services
Your birth and postpartum period is so important. How you navigate through it can have such a great impact on you, and your family. You deserve to be; listened to, centered in decision making, and supported both emotionally and physically in a way that makes sense to YOU. While birth can be unpredictable, the presence of this care should be consistent. I’d love to help you with that! A little about me: I’ve been a doula since 1999. While the families I serve remain my greatest source of learning, I’m always exploring new ways to serve my clients. In addition to being a Certified Birth and Postpartum doula, I teach high-quality Evidence-Based Birth® childbirth classes, I am a Certified Lactation Educator (CAPPA), Certified Infant Massage Instructor (IAIM) and a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Instructor (LCCE). I also train Birth Doulas and train Infant Massage Instructors as well! Explore my website for more information on my offerings. I’m looking forward to exploring how we might work together!
