"The child was born all pink, velvet and covered in white. In that moment, we were born too. Reborn from Maiden to Mother. Ego melted. Selfishness dusted from young shoulders. The birth, the birth of Mother is perhaps more difficult than the birth of the baby. It is felt in the bones and the blood and the spirit. It is a transformation more sacred than any other. Yet, it is often overlooked for fear of weakness. For fear of not being enough. We must allow the Mother within to swell between our ribs and fill all the empty spaces."

About Megan:

A recent relocation to the West Kootenays has me excited + passionate about making new connections in the Kootenay region. I am based out of Nelson, BC; however, I support mamas far + wide between the Okanagan and Kootenay area. My days change with the seasons; however, there are a few constant passions in my life. I am a lover of learning, constantly devouring knowledge through podcasts, blogs, traditional + audio books. I’m a lover of memoirs, forever interested in how others live out their days in this wild world. I appreciate all things cozy, including warm mugs of tea, handknit blankets + wood burning stoves. Most of my days include bits of nature, poetry, connection, movement, music, self-exploration + snacks.

In 2015 I was blessed with my greatest gift, my son Cameron. My transition into motherhood was beautiful + challenging. The birth of my son and my entrance into motherhood ignited my passion to learn more about prenatal and postnatal health + movement. I started my business Mandala Mamas in 2018 to support + care for mothers in my community. Mandala Mamas is an expression of who I am and what I wish to offer the world. My intention is to gently guide mamas to strengthen + develop their own inner wisdom and power. As well as, to offer an accepting space for mamas to connect and build community. I offer prenatal, postnatal + motherhood circles and yoga classes; as well as, offering one on one support through my birth + postpartum doula services.
