“Education is not the filling of a pot, but the lighting of a fire.

As you may know I support families in pregnancy and childbirth in Vancouver and the surrounding areas, as a certified birth doula and yoga teacher. I more recently began offering holistic fertility, postpartum and end of pregnancy support. Did you know that I am also continuing my studies? I am currently enrolled in the comprehensive Holistic Reproductive Practitioner training with Michelle Stroud, By The Moon.
So what is an Holistic Reproductive Practitioner?
An HRP is someone who supports the body, mind and spirit in all stages of life, with a focus on reproductive wellness from fertility to menopause and beyond. Our healing support is focused on all aspects of reproductive health including: people trying to conceive, those experiencing menstrual irregularities, have reproductive health conditions, and those who have experienced birth trauma or an end of pregnancy. Along with offering holistic birth and postpartum doula skills to support our clients, we utilize reflexology and energy healing to meet our clients wherever they are their reproductive journey.
I was called to train with Michelle of By The Moon to gain more hands on skills to support people with their reproductive health. Not only am I cross-certifying as a birth doula and certifying as a postpartum doula through this two year program, the certifications I am working towards in both reflexology and energy healing cannot be found anywhere else. Michelle has been a certified reflexologist for over 18 years, she is also a mother, Reiki Master, yoga teacher, and an experienced doula and doula trainer — and all around amazing human! She is sharing her professional experience and expertise in these all of these modalities, to expand our knowledge and give us access to indispensable tools for supporting fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, birth trauma and loss.
What does this mean for you?
I am currently adding on complimentary reflexology sessions for fertility clients that book into a three month support package, as well as offering this service to all birthing people that book into my Holistic Doula Care & Birth Support package.
Both my Holistic Fertility Support package and my Holistic Doula Care & Birth Support package include monthly two hour information sessions in your home. Our reflexology sessions will simply be included in a few of these two hour visits for birth clients and all three of our monthly visits for fertility clients. All you need is a comfy place to sit, a foot stool (or ottoman), and a towel.
Want to meet me?
I would love the opportunity to be apart of your family’s journey. It would be an honour to be the person in your corner, offering informed, compassionate support, wherever you are in your pursuit to grow your family.
