Hi, I’m Christine and I am a certified childbirth educator. In my prior schooling, I focused on early childhood education (RECE) & children’s mental health. I also have an Honours BSc in biological sciences where I enjoyed courses in developmental biology, nutrition, and psychology.

I am a mom to a busy 4 and 1 year old. My 4 year old was who sparked my urge to bring more education to the perinatal world after feeling a bit lost during my birthing experience. Education can be very empowering and that’s my ultimate goal; to empower parents-to-be and postpartum parents through their journey.

When I’m not talking all about babies, you can find me teaching children in nature, climbing in a tree, baking, or going on adventures with my kiddos.

I believe that parents need support throughout the journey and that postpartum doesn’t stop at 6 weeks. I am excited to share my knowledge with those in The WOMB!

Hello all, I’m Lindsay!

I’m a registered nurse psychotherapist, as well as a certified holistic nurse coach, and board certified lactation consultant.

As a nurse, my greatest joys have come from walking with my patients through the most beautiful and difficult moments of their lives. From the first breath to the last, and every in between, it’s changed me. Forever.

I know deeply that our healthcare system is trying its best, with limited resources.

I also know that by focusing primarily on our physical health, it has left many of us wondering how we then begin to address our desires for deeper healing.

I have a passion for working with women on their journey through fertility, birthing, and beyond. The largely invisible load on women doesn’t just impact mental wellbeing. It can seep into all areas of life - manifesting as physical, mental, and emotional dis-ease.

I believe that through care of the whole person - in mind, body, and spirit - we can unlock a new level of health and well-being.

I can’t wait to connect with you.
