Lyz Radcliffe is a compassionate postpartum doula based in West Ottawa, dedicated to providing respectful, non-judgmental support to families during the transformative postpartum period. Her journey into doula work was inspired by her personal experience as a mother of two. After facing postpartum depression, anxiety, and sleep deprivation following the birth of her first child, Lyz recognized the critical need for support during early motherhood. This realization led her to pursue training through DONA International, marking the beginning of her commitment to assisting new parents.
Through her practice, Lyz offers a range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each family. Lyz emphasizes evidence-based education, empowering parents to make informed decisions without imposing her own judgments. Her approach focuses on breastfeeding/bottle feeding support, light meal preparation, baby-related tasks, and emotional support, ensuring that families feel nurtured and confident during their postpartum journey.
Lyz's dedication to her clients is evident in the heartfelt testimonials she has received, with many describing her as a "baby whisperer" and a "lifesaver." Her ability to provide comfort, practical assistance, and a calming presence has made her an invaluable resource for families navigating the early stages of parenthood.
She sees clients in Westboro, Nepean (including the Arlington Park/Algonquin College area), Kanata, Stittsville, Richmond, Ashton, Carleton Place, Bells Corners, Munster, Carp, and Centrepointe
