Kelly Maslen, RHN, RNCP
Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Birth Doula
and Personal Chef

I am a birth doula with five years nutritional counseling and two years as a personal chef. I have combined these three professions to create Simply Healthy Family, a health integrated service that supports women from preconception to birth, and postpartum recovery.

Each birth is unique. You don’t know what to expect and every woman has different needs. As a doula, I can tailor my services to each individual. As long as it takes, I will be by your side providing emotional and physical support from the start of labor until the birth of your baby. I understand the importance of nutrition during and after pregnancy using natural foods. I guide women and their partners through the child bearing journey by suggesting meals plans, healthy food preparation, supplements, exercise, and labour options. I believe the development of a child’s immune system begins in the womb and relies heavily on the nutrition provided by the mother during pregnancy.

I am a graduate of the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and Childbirth International, and have taken culinary arts at George Brown College. I have dedicated my life to helping families that seek an alternative health solution. I also spent time in Africa volunteering with adults and children suffering from AIDS, trying to make a difference in their lives, showing love, compassion and providing nutritional education. I continue my support here in Toronto, helping single mothers, refugees, and newly arrived immigrants achieve a healthy and positive birth experience.
