Janelle McLean

Postpartum Doula

Hi! I'm Janelle! 

I’m a mum of two busy boys and stepmum to two more!

In 2013, after my first son was born, I decided to begin attending La Leche League meetings. I loved hearing about how families found their new rhythms and learned how to breastfeed their babies. So many different aspects of parenting came up at the monthly meetings and I wanted to be able to assist families adjust to the demands of parenting and raising a family in these busy times. Being a postpartum doula allows me to do just that – offer individualized help to families.

I’ve enjoyed a career in relationship and sexual wellness coaching for years! I love being able to merge all of my services for the families I serve to make sure they don’t lose their connection in the whirlwind of adding a new baby. ‘Relationship’ doesn’t just mean you and your partner – it includes your bond with your other children, and your friends and extended family as well. Understanding and love are crucial during this time of transition, and I’m here to support you.

I love to read, write (I have published four novels so far!), knit, bake, cook, and organize!

I’ve owned a small baking business, so if you enjoy freshly baked goods in your home we can absolutely include that in my doula work! I’m also trained as a professional organizer and would love to help you discover new ways to arrange your home before or after your baby is born.

New nursery? Baby proofing? Making space for baby toys? Sign me up!

I’m thankful for every family that has welcomed me into their home and their hearts as part of my career. This work is my passion, and I would be grateful for the opportunity to assist you in this transition.
