I am a family-oriented Calgarian, born and raised in Calgary, Alberta. I am married with three teenagers, and my father also lives with us. Our family loves dogs and enjoys spending quality time together camping, hiking, biking, and participating in community and family events.
I am a **Registered Nurse (RN)** with 25 years of experience in Maternal-Child healthcare, specializing in Labour and Delivery, Postpartum care, and Lactation as an **International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)**. Supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey has been both my profession and my passion throughout my career.
I am also the founder of **Golden Hour Aruga**, a private maternal-child nursing service dedicated to supporting expecting and new parents as they transition into parenthood with confidence. Through Golden Hour Aruga, I provide personalized, evidence-based nursing care and education tailored to each family's unique needs. My services include labour support, breastfeeding initiation and ongoing lactation support, newborn care and parent education, postpartum nursing care, and post-cesarean section recovery care.
My goal is to provide compassionate, professional support that empowers parents while promoting the health and well-being of both mother and baby during those precious first days and weeks together.
Outside of nursing, I enjoy scrapbooking, baking, canning, and gardening. I value creating meaningful memories with my family and appreciate the simple joys of spending time together outdoors.
People often describe me as bubbly, friendly, approachable, and always smiling. I genuinely enjoy helping others in any way I can and believe that compassion, kindness, and encouragement can make a lasting difference. Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life.
My passion for caring for children began long before my nursing career. I started babysitting at the age of 15 and have spent many years caring for my nieces and nephews. Combined with raising my own children and my extensive maternal-child nursing experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge, patience, and confidence to caring for children of all ages. I am CPR certified and committed to providing safe, nurturing, and dependable care that gives families peace of mind.
