Hi, I’m Lindsey Burns.

My mission is to create a compassionate, trauma-informed space which supports the emotional and physical wellbeing of new and expecting parents.

With a holistic approach as a Certified Nutrition Consultant and Postpartum Doula, this practice centres maternal mental health and the profound identity shift that comes with becoming a mother.

With a nurturing, evidence-based approach, Lindsey offers thoughtful guidance through the complexities of the postpartum period, holding space for grief, joy, anxiety, and transformation alike.

My Approach

I help you slow down, soften the in-between, and find patience with yourself in a season you’ve never walked through before. My work blends holistic care with practical, long-term support, creating a safe haven where you’re seen, validated, and guided with intention. Together, we shape a path through motherhood that honours your body, mind, and evolving identity.

Mental-health-centred

I didn’t learn about postpartum mental health in a textbook — I lived it. After birth, extreme sleep deprivation pushed me into anxiety and depression I never saw coming — just like 1 in 5 new mothers. This work is mental-health-centered because it has to be.

Support that holds, not fixes

You don’t need to be told “this will pass” or hear someone else’s story when you’re in the thick of your own. You need someone who can really listen — without fixing, minimizing, or making it about them. That’s the kind of support I needed, and it’s the kind I’m here to give.
