Meet The Friends Of Our Foundation
Registered Psychologist
Jenna Stang
Jenna Stang is a mom of two, registered psychologist and a passionate advocate for maternal mental health.
Her own experience navigating postpartum depression, anxiety, and rage is what first sparked her deep commitment to supporting mothers along their pre and postnatal journey. What began as personal survival became professional purpose.
Through her work, Jenna has had the honour of walking alongside women as they process birth trauma, navigate the identity shift into motherhood, and facing the complicated and unimaginable journey of infant loss — a space that has become one of her most meaningful and passionate areas of practice.
She brings both clinical expertise and lived experience into the therapy room with her clients, creating a space where mothers feel deeply seen, understood, respected and never alone.

Doula
Michelle Wooldridge
Michelle is a mom, a certified birth and postpartum doula, and a passionate advocate for families navigating all the complexities of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. Her own journey into motherhood—marked by a challenging pregnancy, a traumatic birth, and a difficult postpartum experience—shaped the heart of the work she does today.
She specializes in supporting high-risk pregnancies, as well as families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss, and those navigating pregnancy after loss. She understands how layered these journeys can be—filled with hope, fear, grief, and resilience—and she strives to create a space where every emotion is welcomed and supported.
As a doula, she offers steady, compassionate care rooted in evidence-based information, emotional support, and advocacy. Her goal is to help families feel informed, empowered, and never alone as they move through their unique paths to and through parenthood.
At the core of her work is a deep belief that every family deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported—especially during life’s most vulnerable and transformative moments.
Joining the Kayde Foundation and being able to support families through loss feels like such an honour. Walking alongside people not only in their grief, but also through birth, postpartum, and even into future pregnancy planning and pregnancy after loss—it’s something she doesn't take lightly.
This work is so deeply meaningful to Michelle, and being trusted in these incredibly vulnerable seasons is truly a privilege.
