About

Nicole Lynne

I am a wife and mother of four young children as well as a Special Education Teacher, Prenatal and Postpartum Doula, and practitioner of Reiki and energy modalities.

For as long as I can remember I have wanted four children, but our journey, like so many others, was filled with ups and downs and many lessons along the way. We experienced difficulties conceiving, a miscarriage, other challenges as well as triumphs, and four births- each with their own unique story, experience, and of course symptoms!

Prior to starting our family, I began seeking out practitioners and support in the community for myself (and my family) that have supported us through the last number of years from preconception, through pregnancy, and beyond. Receiving SUPPORT whether through treatments, resources and education, or from family and community, has shaped my experience through this time in my life and is something I value deeply.

Through the years of receiving support from providers and experiencing various modalities, I found great benefit to myself and my family. I became increasingly interested in pursuing some of the modalities myself with the plan of becoming a support person. But I had a stable career as a Special Education teacher and was busy raising small children. I contemplated this thought of becoming a Doula and learning energy and wellness modalities for quite some time, and eventually the nudge turned into a shove and I dove in.

I am a strong believer in following our intuition and listening to our bodies. I began with Heliosol courses in 2020, Labour and Delivery and Postpartum Doula training in 2021, and Craniosacral and Reiki in 2022. Meanwhile we welcomed our fourth child in November of 2022. In 2023 I took homeopathy classes for first aid support and a spinning babies class. I am registered for Craniosacral level 2 in Nov of 2024.

I am passionate about providing support to individuals and families on their journeys. I am offering  prenatal and postpartum Doula support and will offer distance support during labour for the time being, while my children continue to need me during the night. I am also offering one on one integrative sessions primarily using Reiki and energy work. I have taken training in Reiki, Heliosol, Craniosacral Therapy and homeopathy first aid that I may integrate into sessions or offer as needed.

My background as a Special Education Teacher is an integral part of my approach to supporting moms and families as a doula. I have years of experience providing support and education while working as a Learning Assistance Teacher here in Saskatoon. My role involved supporting children with intellectual disabilities and learning disabilities and small group peer support for struggling learners. I look forward to bringing my teaching experience to my offerings, as I believe education is an important piece to what I provide to moms and families.  I want to set partners up to feel empowered when entering the labour and delivery stages and beyond. I have a passion for teaching and supporting others.
