After a conversation over zoom that was intended to be a donation request it quickly flipped in to a request to guest speak.

I have done a few speaking events but never of this magnitude! I’m super excited as it is something I am passionate about!
Self understanding!

If you have time come check out this event in Innisfree.

It’s a full days event surrounded by women.

I am honoured & so blessed to be invited 💕

Throwback 2017: From hating myself thin… to loving myself healthy

My whole life dieting never crossed my mind, it wasn’t even in my vocabulary.
It actually felt repulsive.

I ate what I wanted- junk food mostly and took part in some sports, the occasional walk which kept me seemingly healthy.
I had the mind frame that if I was active that I could eat what I wanted.

I didn’t realize there was such a food relationship that had to be uncovered.
That my way of thinking was skewed.

You can’t be healthy by consuming things that are polluting your body.
And it did eventually catch up to me, it always does right?

I had 2 babies and was approaching my 30’s and my body felt so far gone.
I could feel the lumps and bumps.
I felt uncomfortable in my skin.
I tried to cover it up with my clothing and even they didn’t feel right- what the heck was happening with fashion?

I had no confidence, I wasn’t happy and I was sick all of the time.
Colds, gut issues, you name it I caught it.

Enough was enough and when I decided to make a change it was small steps.
Choosing an item here or there for me to eat that was healthy.

Then the more I did it the more I was empowered to make healthier choices.
The easier it became to get in a daily work out, I was addicted to the results.

And now my whole family eats what I eat, I don’t make special meals for anyone.
I love the skin I am in, I am fit, healthy and happy.
I am more at peace with myself. 🙏

I am forever grateful for the help in radiating confident in this session. You both were truly amazing to work with.

Check out classes The Power House
Getting together for a sweat session with Mama’s was my saving 🙏🏼 on mat leave

📞 Calling all Mama's!
Guess what's back!
MAMAS GOT MUSCLES !!

It's crazy for me to think about all the past postpartum mama's in this original group, how they have grown , their babies now in school or daycare . And one of our own mama's from these classes will be leading her very own group!

This is one I am passionate for , maternity leave , stay at home mom, shift work mom with free daytime looking to connect and get their kids out to play with others while they get in a feel good workout!

Did you know that excercise can significantly decrease the chances of developing and also improve postpartum depression!?
Back that with building a community of mama's going through similar territory having discussions, sharing stories and just that connection ...this is Power House .

Work to your own level , if this is all new to you we will help you choose appropriate weight to build strength through consistency and build back those core muscles.

Our newest instructor Renee Miller , mother of two on a maternity leave will be our Thursdays class trainer ! Her passion for health and wellness is one to be admired and backed with a Personal training certification and a Postpartum excercise certification, she is the perfect fit!

Let's build this community, share or tag this post , send it directly to a friend with a little one!

✨ Are you interested in a therapy group for new moms? (Not just first time moms- but those who have recently had another baby too!)

As a fellow new mom, I’ve noticed a gap in community services and am looking at offering a group specifically for new moms to come together, socialize, normalize experiences, learn from one another and vent!

Step 1- see if there would be interest!

So, If you’re interested- send me a message, comment below, or text 780-710-5407

Are you expecting right now?
Maybe your first, second or third baby!?
Congratulations!

Do you have questions about how to feed your baby- there is so much information and an overwhelming amount of products out there.
Are you wanting information prior to babies arrival to feel prepared, to understand your body, your baby and all the tools.
To know you have the right tools to meet your goals…

My intuitive infant feeding class is the answer.

Taking this course could literally save you hundreds of dollars in unnecessary costs…

I’m not like other Lactation consultants- I want to support you to feed your baby how you choose.
This is your journey not mine.

I want you to feel prepared.
I want to save money.
I want you to know that there are options- it’s not all or nothing.

This class goes WAY beyond what you’d learn in prenatal.

We sit in circle as mothers.. we pull cards.
I guide a 1:1 mom to baby soul connection.
We go over what you need.

This is a prenatal intuitive feeding workshop- ITS COMING MAY 2026.

I’ve created a cart on Shopify, it’ll currently say the class is free. This is just a waitlist.
Please sign up if you feel called.
If you can’t make it in person we also have space virtually, and it’ll still include the mom to baby soul connection.

When and got the message to start this training, we were passionately motivated to spread more kundalini to Alberta and support others the way this yoga has supported us! In 2 years, we have now graduated 28 teachers from Alberta, BC, Ontario and USA. I’m in absolute awe and so grateful we listened to the soul nudge to bring this forward! 🤍

Yesterday, 12 new kundalini teachers entered into the world with a technology to support the masses! ✨🤍 I can only imagine the light that is going to ripple from this group 💥✨ It was a pleasure being not only the teacher but the student for these power houses!

What an absolute honour and gift it was to spend 7 weekends together - moving through layers and moving, chanting, laughing and crying!!

The world feels EVEN brighter in my world today and it’s because of all of you 🤍🙌🏼✨ From my entire heart, thank you all so much!

This training! I can’t wait to get hands on

In this moment captured from one of my recent trainings (thank you ) we were deeply immersed in the practice of healing early trauma imprints for babies and small children.

What makes this work so powerful is its simplicity and reverence—how just holding a space of deep listening allows the body to speak its truth, no matter how young or tender that body may be.

We explored the roots of tension, fear, and disconnection, often formed in moments too early for words. And with that exploration, we find pathways to safety and reconnection. To wholeness. It’s this reconnection that allows little ones to settle, their nervous systems to regulate, and their natural vitality to shine through.

For parents, this process isn’t just about supporting your baby or child, it’s also about understanding the deeper imprints that shape your own connection with them.
For practitioners, it’s an invitation to expand your tools and your capacity to hold meaningful, lasting space for families in need.

If this work speaks to you, I invite you to join me for the next Healing Early Trauma Imprints for Babies & Small Children in March.

This 2-day course is open to both parents and practitioners and offers:

🤍Teachings on pre- and perinatal psychology and early developmental trauma
🤍Live demonstrations
🤍Techniques rooted in Craniosacral Therapy and Relational Somatic Healing
🤍Embodied group processing and a supportive community

Together, we’ll create a foundation for resilience and healing; not just for this generation but for the ones to come.

📍 Tofino, BC

So many things about this..
So much resistance lately.

I’ve asked for so much clarity, and to be honest I was afraid of the answers.

I went in to conference called Inspired & Awakened and asked the universe if what it is I am doing is my purpose, then give me the tools to get me through this.

From the first presenter singing Roar which is my wild peace loving girls favourite song- brought family in to perspective.

Then meeting so many beautiful souls and having the courage to step out of my comfort zone and just small chat with people- boy was it hard not to go too deep too fast.

It became really evident that the tools were accessible. But what was I going to do with them?
How can we move forward, grow forward, reflect but awaken?!

There’s so much about this phase, this growth edge, the evolution of me…

I’m sitting down for the first time in my space, planning, branding, creating… all the things and it brings me so much joy to honour my creativity!
To just go for it!

I have so many things to share with you, and some are not yet to be. And I’m excited about this new evolution.
I no longer feel stuck, I feel inspired & awakened

Thanks for being a mentor, a coach, a friend… and guiding me back to myself again 💕

This next year with you along my side, cheering me on is going to be amazing… ✨✨✨

If you are in a tough space, have you asked the universe for signs?
It’s as simple as show me a White car or a Red car…

Thanks too for simplifying my fear.
