My name is Lisa (she/her). I am a trauma informed yoga teacher, breathwork and meditation facilitator, emergency medical responder, prenatal, birth & postpartum doula in training, and a non-judgemental space holder rooted in love. I have years of experience working with marginalized communities ranging from harm reduction support to empowering women fleeing violence.
My journey into birth work has begun during my pregnancy with my son, who is due in March 2025. I value the intuitive nature embedded within each individual woman. I will take the direction from every human I work with and truly meet them where they’re at, with what they and their loved ones need, remaining neutral and open to learning. I would be grateful to be a part of anyone’s journey that feels they would like extra support. Currently, I am offering a limited amount of pro-bono yoga classes to pre-natal mamas in Winlaw, Nelson and Castlegar. If there is a need for more birth support bro-bono, I am also open to that. These offerings are available for the next few months. I will be updating my offerings to a sliding scale, covering a larger demographic once I have rested in my own postpartum healing period and finished my doula training next September 2025.
