I honour the path you choose to follow in the days after giving birth. Allow me to hold your hand (and your baby) while we travel the path together. I strongly believe that the first step in baby care is care for the mother / new parents. Supporting new parents and treasuring them through this transitional time in their lives is the best start for baby
Your Postpartum Doula
Welcome to Treasured Doula. My name is Melinda Lamarche and I work as a Postpartum Doula. I am a Mama to 4 silly, loving and very energetic children. I have always loved being in the presence of children and newborns fill my heart. I have been a Registered Dietitian for 20 years, I hold a Master of Science in Community Health, completed culinary training and I am currently working towards becoming a Lactation Consultant. I also keep my CPR, first aid and safe food handlers certifications up to date. The joys of pregnancy, birth, newborns and feeding both the body and the heart are my motivation for helping new parents on their journey.
I am so honoured that you have found me and are considering connecting. I believe in helping families find their village in the early days of their baby’s life. All birthers need a support system to hold them, their baby and their family as they embark on the parenthood journey. Many of those first moments with baby can be filled with mixed emotions; excitement and fear, love and exhaustion. I am here to help you and your family navigate this new normal, to cherish the journey and find the treasures and beauty in this postpartum period.
I service Woodbridge, Maple, Kleinburg, Thornhill and some parts of Toronto.
