Montreal is all about hockey right now, living the Canadiens!

I love when my clients get to share what they love with their kids.

Are you watching the playoffs with your family?

Really, I’m in it for the parents. I’m not saying I don’t enjoy when I get to cuddle a baby, I totally do, but my real joy comes from helping new parents. Sharing calm, love and care is what I’m all about.

I was so touched by the responses people shared with me this weekend, I know I’m going the work I was put on this earth to do.

Are you new here? Hi!
I’m Cara, the owner at Lakeshore Doula Services in Montreal, Quebec

Supporting families after the birth of a newborn is exactly what I do. Whether you need a nap, lunch or someone to talk about what is going on (IYKYK) a doula can help.

I often encourage moms to drink more water, quietly setting it beside them while they are feeding. I need to do better listening to my own advice, and more importantly, other professionals!

So a shout out to a couple of them who tell me to drink my water.

I adore my optometrist in the Beaurepaire village. Seriously Dr Sandra is amazing and yes, recommended I drink more water.

Mel, who helps me take better care of my body with a mix of humour, and real talk at is always telling me to drink my water.

Have you eaten yet today?
It’s amazing how often the answer is no when I arrive.

My solution? Breakfast sandwiches. Easy to eat and perfect for those blurry eyed mornings.

Linked reel for my method.

Finding time to fuel your body can be hard. I mean, I can always eat, but fuel? That’s different.

New parents have the same problem. Some hard boiled eggs, homemade granola and soup can make all the difference.
