maskihkiy provides counselling, land-based healing programs, consulting, workshops, & kihtehayak (Elders) services. our kihtehayah (Elder) Wiisug Richard Wright (Leech Lake Anishinaabe) taught us that medicine is anything that helps a person to heal and live a good life. our team uses both traditional and contemporary Indigenous and land-based approaches to holistic wellness to support individuals, families, communities, and organizations in miyo pimâtisiwin (living a good life). we do this through consultation and workshops that incorporate Indigenous pedagogies and experiential learning. each team member brings unique strengths and gifts, including expertise in Indigenous approaches to counselling and trauma work, decolonizing and Indigenizing organizations including strategic planning and program evaluation, reconciliation initiatives and cultural education, and holistic nutrition. maskihkiy wellness is based out of Calgary, Alberta. our team is available to travel both nationally and internationally.

colonial holidays can be difficult for many iyiniwak.

this is a reminder that self-care and rest are so important! take time away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and choose to rest. for yourself and the generations ❤️

the world can feel chaotic, but you have the tools and medicine you need to come back into balance ❤️

here are some simple land-based tools you can use:
- taking a drink of water or splashing your face
- using sage or other plant medicines
- using essential oils, especially awakening ones like mint, cedar, rosemary, spearmint, tea tree, eucalyptus 🌿
- getting outside for fresh air
- putting our hands in the dirt
- using stones

your nervous system will thank you.

maskihkiy onîsôhkâmakêw, okimawapiw iskwew Lisa, had the honour to attend the Assisted Reproductive Technology Research Report Launch last month in Ottawa.

this research report on assisted reproductive technology, developed in partnership with uOttawa and Survivors Circle for Reproductive Justice, focuses on available options for Indigenous survivors of forced and coerced sterilization in Canada.

this report serves as a guide for our iyiniwak relatives seeking healing. 🪶✨

we are strong, but we don’t have to carry it alone ❤️

iyiniwak have been surviving genocide in North America for over 500 years, and it takes a toll; physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
