Hello! I’m Kashauna (Ka-shaw-nah), a trained Birth and Postpartum Doula, Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI) and Childbirth Educator based in Durham Region. My passion for maternal health and pregnancy stems from a deep belief that the journey of welcoming a baby is as much about nurturing a new life as it is about embracing the transformation of parenthood. As a mother of three vibrant children, I understand the joys and challenges that come with each stage of parenting and I am here to create a space where you feel empowered, respected and supported through your unique experience. With a background in Sociology and over a decade of experience in community advocacy, I approach my work through an anti-oppressive and inclusive lens, celebrating diversity and ensuring every family feels seen and valued. My philosophy centres on education and fostering healing, bonding and confidence—whether through the gentle power of infant massage, tailored birth and postpartum care, or emotional support. Together, we will navigate this new chapter, helping you recover, adjust and thrive as you care for your baby and family. My goal is to provide calm, compassionate care, equipping you with tools and encouragement to embrace parenthood with grace and strength.
