They're the reason why I work so hard to do what I do.

 

I've been a Registered Nurse (RN) on the labour + delivery unit since 2017. I have learned so much working there and have spent countless hours teaching and building confidence in new parents. I always felt like I could be doing more, but I was never sure of where to start. I knew the community was lacking resources, specifically in birth and breastfeeding education. I continued educating myself through certifications and courses hoping at least in this way I could offer evidence based information to those that I was discharging. It felt like it was all I could do - I am only one person, right?

​

In April 2021, at the height of the pandemic, we welcomed our daughter into the world. My birth didn't exactly go according to plan - speedy, unmedicated, and early. I was proud of myself of course, but before I could even wrap my head around the fact that I just birthed a child I was already postpartum. What the hell? It felt like a bit of a blur. We were tossed into breastfeeding around the clock, minimal sleep, and soon what came about as infant colic. I had heard this newborn part was hard, sure, but I hadn't prepared for any of this. We had support around us in the form of family and friends, but it still felt lonely and isolating at times. I wanted there to be a different way.

​

Amidst the craziness of that time, Ten Little Toes Inc. was born. A space where mama's felt supported, not judged for their choices, and confident either by utilizing our services or joining our social media page. I wanted to offer a better, streamlined experience for mothers and their families because they deserve it.

 

I promise to care about your family as if they were my own. If that's the care you're looking for,
