Kelly Maslen

Kelly Maslen is a stabilizing force! We could not imagine giving birth without her supporting presence. She has walked with us through the birth of both our daughters, and I simply cannot imagine those experiences without her. Birth is birth, and there are so many challenges and triumphs that Kelly helps you to navigate — and she does it with sincerity, gentleness, and stability. Her calm wisdom helps nervous husbands and labouring mamas to know that the labour storm is navigateable, and that it is truly beautiful! Kelly helps to make the intensely powerful seem clear, and the small seem significant. I cannot recommend more highly to every woman I meet that they contact Kelly to walk with them through the wonderfully complex and deeply fulfilling journey of pregnancy, birth and new motherhood. Finding her was truly the greatest gift. We are eternally grateful.

Kelly was a fantastic resource for us. Not only is she very knowledgeable and experienced in pre-natal, child birth and post-natal matters, she was amazing at referring other care providers - from acupuncture and osteopathy to even a photographer specializing in newborns, she has the best contacts! Kelly really impressed us at one of the pre-natal home visits, where she guided a visualization and relaxation exercise as part of birth preparation. My wife is convinced she was able to avoid an induction with Kelly’s many tips. Kelly was great about checking in with texts or phone calls and was always available for answering our questions, before and after our son was born. We are very grateful for all her support.

A million stars! Best decision ever! Kelly is an amazing, dedicated doula and I was so lucky that she was available. She has the ability to put you at ease with her wonderful personality and her wealth of of knowledge and experience. She provided invaluable support to me and my husband and I credit her with being able to stick to my birth plan and a stress-free and smooth labour and delivery. Her postpartum visits and support were also incredibly helpful to have. I highly recommend Kelly and her services. You’ll never regret having her in your corner, whether it’s your first or third birth.

I feel I had a great experience! I am someone who absolutely needs 9 hrs of sleep. After having my baby obviously there is much to learn and not consecutive sleep hours. I feel that these pills literally gave me the help of energy I needed where my lack of sleep did not do the same as if I had little slee in the old days. Kelly herself was super helpful and knowledgeable about answering my questions before and after and I am forever grateful!

Kelly helped me to feel prepared and supported in the months leading up to my first baby's birth. She provided great advice, resources and emotional support, making me feel calmer about this new unknown chapter of life. When my daughter Olivia was born, Kelly was a true life saver. She came to our house every 3-4 days for the first few weeks of Olivia's life to help with baby care and breastfeeding, but also to help sort through the hundreds of questions swirling around in my head with a kind, patient and relaxed approach. The emotional support she provided was invaluable to a a first time Mom and I couldn't recommend her more.
