Meet Your Doula
Hi, I'm Valour Mir
I believe every new parent deserves calm, capable support during the fourth trimester. Those first weeks with a newborn are precious, but they can also be exhausting. My role is to lift some of that weight so you can rest, heal, and simply enjoy your baby.
For more than five years I have cared for young children and supported their families across the Lower Mainland, in child care settings and in my own home daycare. I hold a diploma in special needs care, and along the way I have cared for children with special needs, including autistic and neurodivergent children. That work taught me to slow down, notice the small cues, and adapt my care to each child, rather than expecting each child to adapt to me.
Today I bring that same patience to newborns and their parents. I help with overnight and daytime newborn care, feeding, settling, and the small things that keep a home running, like clean bottles and a tidy nursery. I keep you updated along the way, so you always know how your little one is doing.
My care follows your family's choices, not mine. Whatever your approach to feeding, sleep, or parenting, I support it without judgment. And because I speak English, Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu, you can share your worries and wishes in the language that feels most like home.

What Families Say
Kind Words From Families
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Valour. We only worked with her for a few nights (during an out of town visit) but she quickly gained our trust through her kind and gentle approach to caring. Our baby immediately took to Valour and so did I! She went above and beyond the traditional call of duty, even offering to help us pack the baby's things for our journey back home. Would definitely recommend her!
We had a wonderful experience with Valour, who helped care for our granddaughter during the night. She was always punctual, polite, professional, and very knowledgeable about infant care. Her calm and caring manner gave us great peace of mind, and she was always helpful and attentive to our granddaughter’s needs. It was such a comfort knowing she was in capable and caring hands overnight. We truly appreciated Valour’s support and would happily recommend her to any family looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate doula.
Valour was an absolute lifesaver during my postpartum recovery. From the very first night I came home from the hospital after my C-section, she supported our family and cared for my newborn through those incredibly challenging first six weeks.
I truly can’t imagine how I would have managed those early weeks without her help. Recovering from surgery while caring for a newborn is overwhelming, but Valour made everything feel so much more manageable and peaceful.
She is compassionate, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. The overnight support she provided helped both baby and mom get much-needed rest and settle into a healthy routine. I always felt completely comfortable and reassured knowing my baby was in her care.
I wholeheartedly recommend Valour to any new parents looking for a caring and professional doula.
Our family hired Valour as a postpartum night doula from week 10 to 15. My husband was returning back to work and we wanted the extra overnight support. Valour was excellent. She was incredibly kind and showed careful attention and care for our baby, and was always on time. Our bottles and pump parts were always washed and ready for the next day and she kept the room clean and organized. We really appreciated her help and attention to detail!
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!
Valour has been an incredible source of support for our family during the postpartum period, providing exceptional care for both myself and my newborn. She is highly professional, dependable, and truly compassionate in the way she cares for babies and families. In addition to providing attentive newborn care, she was always proactive in helping around the home and consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic. As a new parent, I felt completely comfortable leaving our newborn in her care, and I deeply appreciated the regular updates, photos, and videos she thoughtfully shared for added peace of mind. I would highly recommend Valour to any family looking for trustworthy, caring, and professional postpartum support.
