About Us
Lakeside Doula Group provides postpartum support for families across the Halton, Hamilton and Mississauga areas. We are a collective of experienced doulas offering in-home care during the early weeks and months after birth.
Meet the Owner: Jaklyn Andrews
My background is in health promotion and research. I came to doula work through my own deeply touching experience with my doula. I decided to combine my skills with my passions, and I’ve been lucky enough to work in the perinatal community ever since.
Our Story
Over the last ten years, Oakville Family Birth has grown into a doula team and we’ve been fortunate enough to support and educate hundreds of families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Newly rebranded as Lakeside Doula Group, our focus is now exclusively on postpartum care—providing steady, practical support that helps families recover, adjust, and feel confident during a major life transition.
We Believe:
- There is no “right” way to do this. Our approach is centred on the values and needs of each family we serve.
- Postpartum matters. Physical, emotional, and mental recovery deserve time, care, and support.
- Caring for parents is essential to caring for babies.
- Families deserve reliable, professional support during the fourth trimester.
