At Lifetime of Love we provided services to our clients as a team. You will have two doulas who share your prenatal and postpartum care and share an on-call schedule. Working as a team benefits our doulas as well as our clients, who tell us that they appreciate the added value of having two skilled doulas working together to help them prepare for this incredible time in their lives.
Our Doulas

Carol Anne Skorvaga

Carol Anne is an incredible source of encouragement to expectant families as well as families in the postnatal period who are in the throws of learning about life with baby combined with lack of sleep! She has a gift for helping women find their strength and their own voice. Carol Anne's humour and personality make all of our clients feel at ease and supported as they transition through pregnancy, birth and through the early months of parenthood.
Carol Anne is mama to two incredible and inquisitive boys. It was during her first pregnancy that she learned about the benefits of having a doula and knew in her heart that this was a career and passion she wanted to pursue.

What our clients have to say about Carol Anne:
"I was afraid I would meet a doula who was only interested in natural birth and I was at a place where I planned to deliver in a hospital and possibly with medication. She was not judgemental and planned to support me through a hospital birth. I never felt pressured or judged by her... she was going to be there for us on our big day!"

Nicole Anderson

Nicole's passion for supporting families through pregnancy and childbirth can be felt from the moment you meet her. Being able to provide knowledge and unbiased support to so many people in the community is a driving force behind why Nicole sought out doula work in the first place. Nicole is no stranger to how the body works. She holds a BA in Fine Arts from York University where her studies included dance, kinesiology, anatomy and injury prevention just to name a few. She has spent a large portion of her life working with children as a dance educator but has always had a calling to work within the pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum fields.
Nicole was finally able to follow through on her dream after the birth of her second son. It was only after the birth of her own children that she realized the great need to empower women and families to advocate for the own fulfilling birth experiences.
