Empowering Pregnant Mamas in Every Trimester

"Choosing to become a mother is welcoming a personal transformation on every level. The bravery is not acknowledged enough."

J.R. Stone

Are you an expecting mom...

  • Feeling overwhelmed by unpredictable birth outcomes & concern around medical interventions?

  • Seeking more personalized, holistic support around your emotional well-being & postpartum planning, so you can enjoy this precious time?

  • Overwhelmed with contradictory information around birth and ways of parenting, leading to self-doubt?

  • Feeling excited but also anxious about your identity shift, professional and family expectations, not to mention your own?

  • Craving a supportive community where science and intuition come together, to help you embrace this transformation with confidence?

Did you know our babes begin co-regulating with us by the second trimester?

The reticular activating system, which filters messages from the nervous system, helps govern sleep & wake cycles, and consciousness begins to take shape!

How my learnings can support you & your family?

Life has been my school... and you might have guessed I LOVE learning! I was fortunate to learn many tools and stumble upon Somatics (body-based healing) as a child, which is why I am so passionate about sharing these simple, holistic tools. I have a strong understanding of neurophysiology and use this to help clients create physical, cognitive, emotional and energetic wellbeing. You are welcome to take a peek below at my specialities, modalities I incorporate, and my qualifications.

Modalities

While I offer a variety of holistic modalities, the choice is completely up to my clients. By holistic I mean exploring our internal & external environments, including physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and energetic or spiritual.

I am not a first time mom, can I still join?

Yes! Our community is for moms who have had past pregnancies and have children too. You do not need to be a first time mom to join us. Your experiences, although each of ours are unique, might be supportive for another to hear about.

Do I have to be in Canada to work with you?

I work with clients all over the world via Zoom... so you can be where ever you like!
