Ridge Meadows Doula Services

A little bit late, but we wanted to make an official welcome post to our new Postpartum Paige.

Paige is a Postpartum Doula with experience working with over 50 families. After graduating from Vancouver Film School, Paige wanted to continue her acting while doing something that challenged her and allowed her to be creative.

While Paige still continues to nanny, she always has a deep love for helping parents. Thousands of births happen each day, yet she feels that postpartum parents are incredibly overlooked and under supported.

Being on the autism spectrum herself, Paige has been able to connect with children and parents who sometimes struggle to be understood. She wants to make a difference. Not in a large world sense, but if she can make even one person feel heard, understood, and safe through her work, she has succeeded.

She is here to support you in one of the most beautiful, life changing experiences. She will bring her passion for art, and human connection with her when she walks through your door.

Because we all deserve a village.

Every baby photo has a story… apparently ours led to birth rooms, middle-of-the-night labour calls, and a whole lot of babies.

Meet the RMDS team

Today is International Women’s Day, and this photo felt a little too perfect not to share.

Standing in front of a sign that says “I’ll be there for you…” we couldn’t help but smile because that line captures the heart of birth work.

Being a doula means showing up.
In the middle of the night.
Through uncertainty, strength, tears, laughter, and the incredible moments that change families forever.

At Ridge Meadows Doula Services, we are honoured to support women and birthing people, and the partners and families who love them — in all the beautiful ways families are created.

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, compassion, and wisdom of women everywhere including the women on our team, the women we support, and the women raising the next generation.

And to every family we’ve walked beside:
When labour begins,
when the rain starts to pour,
when the newborn days are tender…

We’ll be there for you.

Same doula
Same house
Same sling
Same family
Different baby.

We feel so honoured that families continued to hire us for subsequent babies time and time again.

Happy valentines Day from your future doulas

Just read the NYT piece on feeding and “equality,” and here’s my hot take: bottles don’t create equality partners doing actual work does.

Breastfeeding isn’t the barrier. Unsupported breastfeeding is. When partners think their role is to watch, weigh in, or “help” occasionally, of course it feels unequal.

Breastfeeding thrives when partners are in it doing diapers, dishes, meals, laundry, mental load, and fiercely protecting rest. That’s what shared parenting looks like. My take from the article was the author didn’t feel supported in her first postpartum.

Feed babies however works for your family but equality isn’t found in the bottle. It’s found in who shows up and does the work. 🎤⬇️🔥

Come join us this Sunday for our newborn prep class. This class goes everything you need to know when you bring your baby home. Sleeping, crying, diapering, feeding and more.

Why Parents Should Attend La Leche League Maple Ridge 🤍

Parenting especially feeding your baby can feel overwhelming, isolating, and full of questions. La Leche League Maple Ridge offers something every parent deserves: support without judgment.

Whether you’re breastfeeding, combo feeding, pumping, chestfeeding, or simply figuring out what works best for your family, LLL Maple Ridge is a place to:
✨ Learn evidence-based feeding information
✨ Ask real questions in a safe, welcoming space
✨ Connect with other parents who truly get it
✨ Feel reassured that you’re not doing this alone

These meetings aren’t about perfection they’re about confidence, connection, and community. Partners and caregivers are welcome, and every feeding journey is respected.

If you’re a new parent, expecting, or even months (or years) into feeding your baby, this is a space where you’ll feel seen, supported, and empowered.

💛 Community matters. You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Our own RMDS doulas Dawn and Tracey are our local Maple Ridge Leaders.
