ABOUT
My name is Justine Lum. I am a full spectrum Doula offering care from pregnancy loss, birth, to postpartum support. I love being outdoors, reading, yoga, meditation and anything to do with wellness!
I became interested in becoming a Doula after being present for the birth of my first niece. My sister had an 18 hour, unmediated birth, facilitated by a wonderful Doula and Midwife. I marveled at how my sister harnessed her own strength, went deep within herself and her persistence in birthing how she chose! After everything was done and baby was nestled in mom’s arms, her midwife asked me if I had ever considered being a Doula. She commented on my calm demeanor through everything, and assistance in both encouraging and comforting my sister. As I left the room and I felt like I was floating on air… I realized my calling.
I am captivated by the human body's ability to create life. I believe birthing people are powerful beyond words. Navigating pregnancy, preparing for childbirth and becoming a new parent can be uncertain, and even challenging as we can get inundated with information. I will guide you in feeling prepared for your journey ahead. I believe being educated about what is happening in your body during birth can allow you to relax through the process and allows you, and your family to make informed decisions. My goal is to instill trust in your body and your intuition. I will guide you in feeling prepared by going through the stages of birth, going over all the choices you may have to make and working with you to determine your birth preferences. Whether you are wanting a home birth, hospital birth or planned caesarean, I want you to feel respected, safe and supported! As a postpartum Doula my care is focused on the birthing person, holding space for you through your transformation and shining a light on your intuition.
I believe birth is sacred, intimate and should be a powerful, positive and peaceful experience. I would be honored to support you and your family! Contact me for a free consultation and to learn more!
