Why I became a Postpartum Care Practitioner
When I was training as a birth doula, I noticed something that didn’t sit right with me.
There is endless preparation for pregnancy and birth — then mothers are sent home with a newborn and little meaningful postpartum support, when I see support is needed the most.
I saw the gap, and I knew mothers deserved more.
Even after completing a standard postpartum doula training, I didn’t feel equipped to fully support my own sister in her first postpartum season. That realization changed everything.
It led me to become a certified INNATE Postpartum Care Practitioner — and to create Blissful Womb Care.
Now, I’m devoted to supporting mothers in feeling nourished and deeply cared for in one of the most vulnerable transitions of their lives.
MORE ABOUT ME…
-
I grew up on the farm, in the kitchen with my mom and grandma’s, watching cooking shows, and even wanted to be a chef at one point, but after working in high-end restaurants, I realized that wasn’t the life for me.
I have a gift for turning simple, whole food, nutrient-dense ingredients into delicious, flavorful creations. I pride myself on infusing intention, care, and love into everything I make.
-
I reignited my passion for cooking through whole foods and holisitc modalities after 7.5 years of daily migraines and fibromyalgia.
When I began integrating all I was learning in the INNATE Postpartum Care training in 2022, I realized the 5 Essentials of Postpartum Care (rest, warmth, body care, nourishment, & community support) are really just the essentials for healing and thriving life in general.
-
I completed my yoga teacher training in Spain in 2013, followed by a specialty training in Prenatal Yoga.
I taught public classes full-time for years in both Calgary & Toronto until 2023. I taught many styles from Vinyasa Flow to Restorative, and specialized in Prenatal Yoga, which led me to studying to become a birth doula, which led me to becoming a Postpartum Care Practitioner.
I infuse my experience with yoga, meditation, and mindfulness into all areas of my care, and still offer Restorative Yoga as part of my in-home postpartum care.
-
I worked at Light Cellar in Calgary for 2.5 years. This is where I learned how to infuse culinary and medicinal herbs together, how to craft delicious elixirs with intention, created an incredible community of holistic-minded resources, practitioners, and life-long friends.
It’s also where I taught many classes like the Nourished Mother, Aligning with the Wisdom of Cycle Awareness, How to Craft a Superfood-Infused Bone Broth, and giving the speech you see below.

I’m a Taurus through and through. I enjoy the finer, simpler things in life like croissants, charcuterie on a hike with my partner in the mountains, going to thermal spas, trying new recipes, and enjoying all the care practices I support my clients with.
