Meet the Instructor
Amy MacAulay
Originally from PEI, Amy made Halifax her home in 2000 where she met her husband James and welcomed their two amazing children, Jasper and Fiona. From a very young age, Amy loved helping families and provided babysitting for many young babies and children after school and on the weekends. Her natural love for child development led her to a degree in Early Childhood Education and careers as an Early Childhood Educator and Community Home Visitor. This evolved into becoming a birth doula and postpartum doula: well-known and loved by her past and previous clients.
Since 2008 Amy has supported her clients through the thickness of sleep deprivation, feeding challenges, postpartum recovery, multiples and the navigation of new parenthood. After running a breastfeeding support group for seven years, being a birth doula for nine years, she is experienced working with singletons, multiples, breastfeeding, babywearing, infant massage and can offer insight when debriefing your birth story. Amy offers families compassion, knowledge, and over ten years of experience to make your postpartum experience what you desire: calm, smooth, and confident.
