Hey, I’m Aislinn Hasty!

IBCLC, POSTPARTUM DOULA, B.SC IN MIDWIFERY

(pronounced Ash-lyn, because it’s Irish and nobody ever knows how to pronounce it)

With a Bachelor of Science in Midwifery and more certifications than I have fingers, I bring a wealth of knowledge to your postpartum journey! From Hypnobirthing to lactation education to being a certified IBCLC, I’ve spent just over a decade preparing to support families like yours.

My time as a hospital-based midwife in England gave me a wealth of clinical experience, but my move to Canada in 2018 added new layers to my work. Though my Irish midwifery degree doesn’t translate to practice here, my “midwife brain” never stops. I use that knowledge every day, whether assessing feeding challenges, offering emotional support, or troubleshooting sleep-deprived questions.

From Midwife to Mom: I know both sides of Postpartum (and the Tricks That’ll Keep You Sane)

I thought I had postpartum all figured out—until I was the one stuck in the 3 a.m. feeding/pumping/burping zone. I was a newcomer to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and hadn’t a clue where to turn!

With almost a decade as a midwife, I’d learnt it all… or so I thought. Then my daughter arrived, and we went through every possible challenge. From tongue ties to allergies to low supply to colic, and so many rounds of breastfeeding and pumping that I might’ve invented a new sport.

Here’s what I learned (besides that my caffeine tolerance is heroic): you don’t need to have it all figured out, and you definitely don’t need to do it alone. I know the isolation, the frustration, and the urge to scream when you’re not being heard (spoiler: I’ll do the shouting for you if you need it).

So, I’m here to help you skip the stress and get straight to the part where you feel supported and understood. My network of perinatal pros—from therapists to physios to doctors—has your back too, no extra hoops needed. Whether you need tips, tools, or a break, I’m here to remind you that you’re not invisible, you’re definitely not alone, and yes, you can (and should) eat the snacks.

Steal My Postpartum Prep Plan!

Everything I do to prepare myself (and my clients!) for feeding, nights, and more. As a trained midwife, practicing postpartum doula, and second-time mom. Yours, for the taking.

  • “Aislinn saved my breastfeeding journey!

    I went from exclusively pumping to exclusively breastfeeding within a few days of my daughter's tongue and lip tie release all thanks to their thorough assessment, help with coordinating the procedure, and teaching us stretches and exercises to do pre and post release. It was approached from a holistic perspective and also took into consideration my mental and physical well-being including exploring reasons for my low milk supply”

  • “Aislinn was great!

    She carefully walked me through everything that I needed to know and took the time to answer all of my questions. She’s professional, friendly and very personable. Would definitely recommend to others!”

  • “Aislinn provided us with much more than we expected

    she also provided invaluable guidance, support and encouragement during a critical time. We are so grateful to have benefited from her knowledge, experience and compassion as we continue on our parenting journey”

  • “ She can come over any time!”

    “Such an amazing service for moms with kids who can’t leave the house and/or don’t drive. I wish I knew about Aislinn’s services sooner! Aislinn is so nice.”

  • “I saw Aislinn in hospital, I contacted her at night when I was struggling with a newborn’s cluster feeding sessions

    on day 3 and she contacted me the next day and it was all very professional and quick. So happy I booked that session! I loved that she came upstairs to me and I didn’t have to get out of bed.”

  • “Aislinn met me where I was at.

    She checked in on what I knew already and what I didn’t and never assumed. From there she helped provide information to us that was useful, specialized and unique to what we needed.”

What was the best part about your visit?

​​”Talking with Aislinn about motherhood in general, not just lactation.”

“How well supported I felt. How after each appointment, we had a plan to try. How you were so prepared for our appointments because you had communicated with my team so collaboratively!”

“How thorough you were, and that you were very transparent about your findings.”

“I particularly appreciated Aislinn’s compassion and positivity” 

“Prompt support but so wonderful you have a midwife background as well!”
