Laine Ferguson

(Full spectrum doula)

Hi Folks!

My name is Laine (she/her), full-spectrum doula, lover of plants, and mom-of-two incredible little humans. My own journey - welcoming my first child in 2018, experiencing pregnancy loss, and later giving birth to my second child in 2023 - deeply shaped my path to and passion for birthwork. Both of my births were supported by wonderful doulas, and it was their steady presence that inspired me to offer the same kind of care to others.

As your doula, I provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support to help you feel nurtured, empowered, prepared, and cared for - no matter how, or where you choose to give birth.

I love working with new parents and growing families, holding space for the wide range of emotions and transformations that come with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My approach blends compassionate emotional and physical support with practical tools like childbirth education and babywearing guidance. I’m also passionate about birth photography, and love capturing the beauty and power of labour, birth, and those magical first moments together.

When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me tending to my plants, playing up at Whitewater, or keeping up with life alongside my kiddos.
