Dedicated to Supporting Families in the Transition to Parenthood and Beyond.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

As of December 1, 2025, I will no longer be supporting doula clients in person—both birth and postpartum. I do not have any remaining availability for birth or postpartum clients for the last quarter of 2025.
I am now an IBCLC and will be offering lactation support. I will also continue to provide belly binding services (Benkung) in the York region.
To ensure a smooth transition, doula support will be transferred to our sister company, Thornhill Doulas, starting September 1, 2025.
Thank you for your continued support!

Pregnancy, childbirth and the first few weeks of parenthood is an amazing time in our lives. It should be about the birthing parent, partner (if there is one), baby or babies and what they want for this special time. However, in our fast paced and hectic lifestyles, it can often feel completely overwhelming, especially as more people are living further away from traditional family support.

Having doula support will smooth your transition to parenthood- a Magical yet challenging time!

COVID-19 AND DOULA SUPPORT:

During this pandemic, babies continue to be born and parents and their families still have to deal with all the changes, pressures and anxieties that can often arise with a newborn.  The lack of support caused by isolating, distancing, travel restrictions and other public health requirements has made this even more challenging for many families.  A postpartum doula can be really helpful during these difficult circumstances and I can help you work through them.  I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and follow the current Public Health and Government Guidelines as well as considering client concerns.  When I work with clients, I usually also keep close contact with them through texting and a lot of families have found this very helpful.  

For those not yet comfortable with the idea of contact at this time or for those who live further away, I also offer on-line doula support for parents and families with newborns where I can offer valuable advice, support and encouragement through FaceTime, e-messenger, e-mail, text messaging.

If you would like more information about my e-doula services please send me a message using the “Contact Me” link on this website or send me a message at suyindoula@gmail.com.

I am now a Certified Maternity and Child Sleep Consultant with IPHI (International Parenting and Health Institute) and am offering Holistic Sleep Consulting, an integrative approach to sleep optimizing for pregnant individuals and children.  Please see my sleep optimising page for more details.  

As of June 2025, I am now an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant).

Testimonials

I had previously worked with two lactation consultants during my daughter’s NICU stay, but I left those consultations still feeling uncertain and without the guidance I truly needed. When I began working with Suyin, the experience was completely different—she provided clear, thorough, and individualized support that immediately made an impact.

One of the most valuable things I learned from her was the importance of proper flange sizing. I had no idea how critical this was to both comfort and milk expression. With her guidance, pumping became significantly more effective and, most importantly, pain-free. This was especially meaningful during an already emotionally challenging time, as I had been experiencing unnecessary discomfort for weeks prior.

I am incredibly grateful for Suyin’s expertise, compassion, and willingness to support me. Her care made a lasting difference in my breastfeeding and pumping journey, and I would highly recommend her services to any mother seeking knowledgeable and attentive lactation support.

Gena Durand

Su was very helpful & knowledgeable. Being a first time mom I was quite anxious & she really helped steer us in the right direction. She genuinely cares for her clients & would frequently check in!

Saina Sarafian

I had the pleasure of working with Suyin during my postpartum journey and her expertise in breastfeeding support was very helpful in the early days. From the very first visit, she offered thoughtful and practical advice with my goals in mind. She patiently helped me with latch issues, answered all my questions, and provided the encouragement I needed to feel confident. I truly felt supported both physically and emotionally. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows their stuff when it comes to breastfeeding, Suyin is the person to call!

Rachel Lao

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Suyin as our postpartum doula. Her knowledge and expertise over the past 2 months really helped us grow our confidence as first time parents. I also appreciated her support especially with my breastfeeding journey and always being there to provide me with educational material, recommendations and encouragement. Suyin navigated us through challenging newborn times and we can’t imagine what it would be like without her care and support. I highly recommend Suyin as she brings so much knowledge and passion to what she does. Thank you Suyin for always going above and beyond to address our concerns and needs. We will miss the magic you brought to our home and are forever grateful for your support (:

Jasmine Ko

I’m so glad to have stumbled across Cherry Blossom Doulas and have Suyin come in and support me after the birth of my first child. I was originally looking for Chinese post-partum cuisine but received so much more. Suyin’s extensive knowledge from her previous career as a nurse was incredibly helpful in my recovery and my baby’s care. Also I was thrilled to have lactation consulting in my early days to ensure I was able to breastfeed my child. Also I was extremely happy to have belly binding as part of my care. If you’re a new parent looking for amazing support don’t hesitate to contact this company – you’ll be really pleased with the service and attention.

Margaret Loong

Suyin was super supportive for our newborn and also for me and my husband. Our baby being our first child, it was a very stressful time with many new things to learn. Suyin gave us many advice and tips and is really responsive via our chat.

We really trust her being with our child and knows that she would take really good care of him.

Asides from taking care of our baby, she also provided emotional support for both my husband and I, which is very important during this tough (but also happy) time.

We 100% recommend Suyin’s services to others, and if we have any future children, we will look for Suyin’s help again!

Carrie Li

We hired Suyin as our night time doula for the early newborn stages. She was very helpful with showing me how to breastfeed, and providing different options/apparatus and helpful tips along my journey. She brought my baby to me when it was time to feed and promptly took him after, to give me more rest. She also helped to fold baby’s laundry, and washed bottles while I was sleeping.

Suyin is very friendly, easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, very good with babies and does not hesitate to follow up with any questions you have with her colleagues. She was always on time/early and gives you the feeling that she truly cares for you and your baby’s wellbeing. 10/10 would recommend

Thank you Cherry Blossom Doula!

Peggy Fung

I decided to do belly binding for my second pregnancy postpartum. Suyin was amazing she took her time to show me how to bind my belly and made sure I was comfortable doing it myself. Suyin answered all my questions and concerns. She was easy to talk to, very professional and knowledgeable. Suyin is also very caring she took the time out of her busy schedule to message me on several occasions to see how I was doing. It’s been two weeks and so far the postpartum belly binding has helped with my abdominal muscle heal. Thank you Suyin!

Stacey

We were lucky to have support from Suyin (and Petra who we were also lucky to meet) for the first month and as a first time mom it made things so much easier. All of my worries were soothed, my questions answered with patience and I trusted them to leave my newborn in their care while I took a nap and caught up on much needed sleep. Suyin solved all of my breastfeeding woes and made the process so much easier when it was initially painful. She’s also an amazing cook and it was so great to not have to think about that while figuring out how to take care of a newborn. My husband and I both felt like we had a shortcut to better understanding our baby. Most of all our newborn was able to feel calm and well supported with Suyin’s care and guidance – she’s almost three months now and is very easygoing, which I believe is because we learned how to understand her! We highly recommend Cherry Blossom Doulas!

Linna Xu

As a first-time parent, having Suyin support us as our doula during my postpartum period was a game changer. It was reassuring to have access to her knowledge and expertise as we navigated through the confusing and sleep deprived newborn stage.

I was especially grateful for Suyin when I was struggling (and in a lot of pain!) from breastfeeding. She provided helpful tips and videos over text and then even came for a visit the very next day to provide in-person assistance. I’m happy to report that breastfeeding is now a breeze.

Also, Suyin’s cooking is amazing and we appreciated her help keeping our house in order while we had our hands busy with our new baby.

Thank you for everything, Suyin! We’ll miss you!

Bernice Wong

I had the privilege of undergoing doula training with Suyin last year. SuYIn is a very knowledgeable teacher, someone who knows the profession at the back of her hand among many other things. Sharing her knowledge does not stop after the training and she is always ready to support and help build your confidence in doing the job. I will always be thankful to you Suyin and for all the things that you do.

eunice agunod

Ms. Suyin is one of the genuine people I know. She is really informative, caring, reliable, and patient. She kindly shares lots of ideas that will make her students feel equipped and ready to face the Postpartum doula world! I am grateful to have met her and will recommend her to anyone who likes to be a PPD someday! Kudos!!

Reneli

Having SuYin as our postpartum doula was one of the best decisions we made for the birth of our daughter! Not only did we gain some much needed rest as SuYin taking care of our baby and the house chores, most importantly, she helped us in the big transition of life with a new baby. As first time parents, we didn’t know much about caring for a baby. SuYin taught us through every step of taking care of a newborn, so we have the confidence to carry through after she moved on to help other parents. Suyin’s background in midwifery and years of experience in the field really provided her with the wealth of knowledge to answer any questions we had. As new parents, you are sure to have lots of worries about the baby. Having Suyin kept us calm and stress free, so we can focus on building a loving relationship with our baby. I also can’t imagine my breastfeeding going so well if not for having Suyin there, teaching me how to do it, and ensuring that latching was always correct. Suyin is a caring person and a good listener who makes you feel like chatting with a dear friend. She respects your decision as parents and will support you in anyway you want. She is also a great cook and can whip her magic with whatever you have in the fridge into delicious dishes. I will recommend her to anyone I know and will use her again if we have any future baby.

YiChun Lin

Suyin is the best doula you can possibly get for your child! She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. From sleep training, to how to properly latch your kid, to what to do with a clogged milk duct, she knows it all. In addition, even after our subscription with her, she still followed up with us to make sure we are doing great. Lastly, she is very prompt at responding to our text. P.s…her lactation cookies were amazing
