about Stacy: the heart behind the healing

bodywork, postpartum care & divine feminine Ayurvedic wellness serving Alberta, Canada

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a seeker.

I’ve always been drawn to the quiet wisdom found outside the mainstream, searching for ways to live that feel more like a soft exhale than a constant race.

​

This path truly began over a decade ago during yoga teacher training, where I first met Ayurveda. It felt like a remembering; a 5,000-year-old whisper reminding me that we are not separate from nature, but a part of it.

​

As a mother of two, I know firsthand how easily we can lose our centre when we are busy tending to everyone else’s light. It wasn't until I discovered the healing power of warm oils and rhythmic touch therapy that I realized how deeply women need to be held. After certifying in Divine Feminine Ayurveda and becoming an Ayurvedic Postpartum Keeper, my mission became clear:

I am here to mother the mother. In a world that expects you to "bounce back," I invite you to sink in. Whether through the bliss of a bodywork session or postpartum guidance, I am here to ensure your cup is filled so it may overflow to those you love.

​

While my deepest passion lies in the birthkeeper tradition, I believe in holding the same support for women in all stages of life. We are constantly birthing new chapters. And every time we do, we may need someone to help guide us.​

INTUITIVE & AYURVEDIC BODYWORK

Untitled

AYURVEDIC HEAD MASSAGE

In our modern world, we spend so much of our lives living in our heads. This ritual is designed to gently move you out of your head and into your heart.

​

Using a rhythmic flow of warm, herb-infused oils, I tend to the sacred gateways of your upper body: your head, face, neck, shoulders and chest. Through the stimulation of marma points (vital energy centers), we awaken your body’s natural healing power and release the stagnant energy that often collects where we carry our heaviest burdens.

​

This isn't just a treatment; it is a recalibration of your spirit. As the warm oil sinks in, you may feel the noise of the day begin to fade.

​

The many ways this ritual mothers you to:

  • Quiet the Mind: Deep relief from the shadows of anxiety and the weight of daily stress.

  • Restore the Rhythm: Encourages a deeper, more nourishing sleep.

  • Nourish the Roots: Promotes vibrant scalp health and the natural luster of hair growth.

  • Sharpen the Spirit: Clears the mental fog to bring back gentle focus and concentration.

​

Whether you are a mother tending to small children or a woman tending to a big life, this is your permission to let go. Allow me to hold the space while you find your way back to centre.

ABHYANGA

In the ancient language of Sanskrit, the word for oil is Sneha. Beautifully, this is also the word for love.

To coat the body in warm, herbal oil is to coat the soul in affection. In a world that often asks us to be hard, Abhyanga (ah-bhee-yahn-gah) is an invitation to be soft. It is a holistic ritual that honours your entire being: mind, body and spirit.

​

Because no two women are the same, neither are two treatments. I use warm, botanical oils specifically formulated for your unique constitution (your Dosha).

This is your medicine chosen just for you, to bring your system back into its natural, rhythmic harmony.

​

By focusing on your marma points, channels and chakras, this treatment does more than relax a tired body. It serves as a gentle reset for your entire foundation:

  • Deep Detoxification: Gently drawing out what no longer serves you.

  • Immune Support: Strengthening your body’s natural defences and circulation.

  • The Power to Heal: Creating the stillness necessary for your body to repair itself.​

​​

There is a profound vulnerability in being truly cared for. As the warmth spreads across your skin, you may feel both a sense of openness and a shedding of the inhibitions and insecurities we carry like protective armour.

 

To be full of oil is to be full of love. It is a sacred reminder that you are worthy of being tended to with the utmost devotion.

CROWN TO SACRAL

There is a sacred thread that runs through us, connecting the thoughts in our minds to the deep, intuitive knowing in our bellies. Often, life pulls us too far into one or the other. This signature service is designed to weave them back together.

​

This experience is an intuitive flow, where I interweave various healing modalities depending on what your spirit needs in the moment. We tend to the head, face, neck, chest and stomach, creating a continuous line of care through your most vital energy centres.

​

The abdomen is where we digest more than just food; it is where we process our emotions, our creative fire and our life transitions. By bringing gentle, warm-oil massage to this region, we support:

  • Hormonal Harmony: Encouraging a soft, natural balance within your cycles.

  • Ease of Digestion: Helping the body release physical and energetic heaviness.

  • Emotional Release: Creating a safe container to let go of stored tension.

  • Radical Self-Acceptance: A quiet, physical return to loving the home you live in.​

​

 

You won’t find this exact ritual anywhere else. It is a bespoke journey, tailored to your unique rhythm. Designed to leave you feeling aligned, integrated and deeply at peace.

KARNA PURANA

There is a depth of stillness we rarely get to touch in our modern, noisy lives. Karna Purana is an ancient Ayurvedic ritual of pooling warm, herbal oil into the ears. While it may sound foreign to some, the feeling it evokes is as old as time.

​

It is a return to the hushed, protected peace of the womb. By gently muffling the external world, this practice invites you to turn your gaze inward, quieting the chatter of your surroundings so you can finally hear your own heart. I offer this beautiful practice as a complimentary addition to either the Ayurvedic Head Massage or your Abhyanga session. 

​

Beyond the profound emotional tucking in, Karna Purana offers physical support for the delicate structures of the head and neck:

  • Quiet the Mind: Deeply soothing for those navigating tinnitus or ear ringing.

  • Release the Jaw: Softens the tension we hold in our jaw and neck (perfect for those who clench or grind).

  • Find Your Balance: Gently supports the inner ear to help with vertigo and equilibrium.

  • Gentle Cleansing: Naturally assists with ear health and clearing buildup.

​

If you are seeking a truly grounded experience, I encourage you to try this soothing ritual. It is a quiet invitation to come home to yourself.

BASTI DOUGH THERAPY

Sometimes our bodies carry a specific weight: a persistent ache in the lower back, a tightness around the heart or a knot that won't let go. External Basti is a profound Ayurvedic therapy designed to bathe these specific areas in a focused, deep-tissue well of warm, medicinal oil.

​

By creating a gentle dam using organic dough, I am able to pool healing oils over a targeted area, allowing the medicine to sink deep into the tissues (far beyond what a standard massage can reach).

​

In Ayurveda, we believe our bodies store stories. An old injury in the knee or a heavy heart often carries an emotional blueprint. Basti works on both levels:

  • Soothe the Physical: Deeply effective for pain reduction, joint mobility and managing chronic tension.

  • Dissolve the Emotional: By holding heat and oil over your vital centres (like the heart or solar plexus), we encourage the melting of old emotional blocks, allowing you to breathe a little deeper.

​

While a single Basti session offers immediate comfort, a series of sessions is often the most nurturing path to long-term relief and structural change.

POSTPARTUM SERVICES

SACRED WINDOW 

In the wisdom of Ayurveda, it is said that the first 42 days following birth set the foundation for the mother’s next 42 years. This is your Sacred Window. A fleeting, precious time where the care you receive ripples out into the rest of your life.

​

This all-inclusive offering is my most heartfelt recommendation for the mother who wishes to be truly held, nourished and rejuvenated. I step into your home not just as a practitioner, but as a Keeper of your transition into motherhood.

​

What Your Sanctuary Includes:

You may choose a rhythm of two or three visits per week, allowing us to create a consistent flow of support tailored to your needs.

  • The Weekly Ritual of Restoration: Once a week, we dedicate a visit entirely to your physical body. I will pamper you with an in-home Abhyanga (warm oil massage) and a traditional belly wrap to help seal the body. I also provide a custom herbal bath decoction (a botanical soak designed to soothe your spirit and promote physical and emotional healing).

  • Nourishing the Digestive Fire: Our additional visits focus on the internal warmth required for healing. I will prepare and provide carefully selected herbal beverages and snacks to keep your energy steady. During that vital first week, I provide both breakfast and lunch to gently kickstart your Agni (digestive fire) and ensure you are being fed the grounding foods your body craves.

  • Guided Wisdom: Throughout our time together, I will share teachings and guidance specific to each stage of your six-week recovery. I will be there to help guide your rhythm.

GODDESS GLOW

The early weeks after birth are a time of profound opening, often leaving you feeling raw and physically unanchored. The goddess glow offering is six weeks of intentional tending: a way to gather yourself back in. It is a commitment to your own journey, ensuring that as you pour into your new baby, you are being refilled with equal measure.

​

This luxurious offering prioritizes the physical sealing of your body, using the ancient tools of warmth, oil and touch to ensure you feel held, grounded and deeply pampered throughout your entire sacred window.

​

What Your Weekly Sanctuary Includes:

Once a week, I step into your home to create a sanctuary just for you. Each visit is an invitation to exhale:

  • The Full-Body Abhyanga: A rhythmic, warm herbal oil massage to calm your nervous system and soothe your body.

  • Traditional Belly Wrapping: A gentle, supportive hug for your midsection to help your centre feel integrated and strong as it begins to knit back together.

  • Botanical Herbal Baths: A hand-crafted herbal infusion designed for deep physical and emotional replenishment. This sacred soak provides a moment of weightlessness, allowing the healing properties of the plants to mend the body while the warm water carries away the heavy emotions of your transition.

​

True mothering means giving you the tools to care for yourself long after our time together ends. I will tenderly teach you the sacred art of self and baby massage. This will further allow you to pour love into your own skin and into your little one’s, fostering a lifetime of rhythm, health and deep bonding.

CUSTOM PACKAGES

I believe that every woman deserves to be held, nourished and mothered, regardless of her season of life or her financial circumstances. Your well-being should never feel out of reach.

 

If my signature packages don't quite fit your current needs, I invite you to sit with me and create something that does. We can mix and match any of my rituals, adjusting the length of our time together or the frequency of my visits to align with your life.

​

Whether you are looking for a one-time reset or a long-term journey of support, we can weave together:

  • Your Choice of Rituals: From the pure bliss of a head massage to the sacred well of external Basti.

  • Flexible Timing: Creating a schedule that honours your family's unique flow.

  • Honouring Your Budget: I am committed to making this ancient remembrance accessible. If you have a specific budget in mind, please don't hesitate to share it with me.

SACRED SUPPORT WHEREVER YOU ARE

Whether you live across the country or across the world, I am here to walk beside you as you navigate your postpartum journey. This virtual offering ensures that no mother has to find her way alone, providing a bridge of traditional postpartum wisdom directly to your home.

​

Every journey begins with a postpartum planning session. Together, we will prepare your nest before your little one arrives, ensuring you have a roadmap for rest and recovery.

​

Once your baby is in your arms, our weekly sanctuary calls begin. During these sessions, I will guide you through the sacred 42-day window, sharing teachings on:

  • The Four Pillars: Deep dives into herbal supports, grounding nutrition, bodycare and radical rest.

  • The Art of Self-Care: Step-by-step guidance on self-Abhyanga, the ritual of belly wrapping and more.

  • Heart-Centred Connection: Space for troubleshooting, emotional check-ins and the quiet reassurance every new mother needs.​

COCOON CLOSING RITUAL

The days following birth are an initiation. This time is a significant transition where the rejuvenation of the body and spirit is of the utmost importance. To honour the end of this period, or any major life threshold, I offer the cocoon closing ritual.

​

This ceremony is a complimentary inclusion with the Sacred Window package. It is also available as an add-on to other support tiers or as a standalone offering for any woman walking through a season of change.

​

Much like a moth emerging from her cocoon, this process is both a beautiful call to come inward and a transformational release. The ritual includes:

  • Womb-focused bodywork: Gentle, intentional touch to ground your center and honour the space that carries life and intuition.

  • The ritual of wrapping: Using traditional woven textiles, your body is supported, held and then slowly released. If you have ever felt the comfort of a belly wrap, you can imagine that feeling amplified as it cradles various centers of your body simultaneously.

  • A sacred pause: A quiet space to acknowledge the version of yourself you are leaving behind and the one you are becoming.

​

For every death and rebirth cycle

While this ritual is a beautiful way to close the postpartum window, it is not limited to new mothers. It is designed to hold you through any transitional time where you feel open and in need of being gathered back into yourself.

​

This may be the right fit for you if you are:

  • navigating the end of a relationship or a season of grief.

  • relocating or leaving a long-term career.

  • moving through any cycle of death and rebirth in your personal journey.

​

If you feel a pull toward this ceremony, my door is open for a conversation to see if it is the right fit for your current path.
