Linda Lionel
(she/her)
I am a mother of two and a proud grandmother. I have an Honours bachelor’s degree in child development, a bachelor's degree in education, and a Diploma in Early Childhood Education. I am currently employed with the Toronto District School Board as a teacher.
My journey to becoming a doula began when I started providing postpartum support to families by helping with baby care. Prior to my career in education, I worked as a nanny for over twelve years, which provided me with extensive experience working with families and children. These experiences motivated me to pursue certification as a doula.
I am a passionate, committed, determined, patient, and empathetic individual who deeply cares about the well-being of expecting mothers, parents, and new life coming into the world. My goal is to provide emotional and physical support before, during, and after childbirth. I am dedicated to using my skills, experience, and knowledge to reduce anxiety and create a stress-free and positive environment for mothers, birthing persons, and families.
