Hi,
I’m so happy you’re here!
Growing up, I really did not know what I would do with my life. The only thing I knew for sure was that I loved people. I had a home birth with my third baby and this shifted the whole trajectory of my life. I started my doula career shortly after and started supporting women and their families as they welcomed their babies earthside.
I knew right away that this was my heart work. It made me feel so connected and alive. I spent a lot of my time studying, taking classes and creating courses for the community. Things really shifted for me once again when I travelled out to BC and took a Childbirth Education Class called Sacred Pregnancy - once again this was pivotal in my growth and changed how I was able to support and care for women. This was not your run of the mill CBE class, it was deep, it was built on connection and understanding of the body, the mind and the spiritual realm.
I ran pregnancy circles for a couple of years and then decided that not only was this beneficial for pregnancy but it was great for all women! There is nothing like sitting in a space where you can show up just as you are, lay it all out on the line and be held and loved simply for being who you are. No judgment. No shame. Just love and deep resonance for you and your experience. This is medicine.
I dealt with some health issues back in 2016 after having a c-section the year before. My body became a space that I did not recognize, nor did I appreciate and love like I wanted to. I did my best to seek out alternative ways to heal my body in conjunction with allopathic medicine.
It was a long journey, and I would be lying if I said that journey was complete. But that is the beauty of life, isn’t it? To weave our way through life and all it has to offer us, to go to the depths of our own darkness to find those nuggets of gold and resurface better than we were before.
I was very lucky to have taken an Integrative Pelvic Care course with Martin Beaudoin where I learned a solid foundation for the work I do. In this class I found something inside of me that was waiting to emerge. My whole life has brought me to this time, and I am so fortunate to do the work that I do.
For the last year I have taken my studying to a whole new level and am studying with Carly Rae and Andrea Terrones with Ma School. With each avenue that I work, there’s so many layers that overlap and make me the loving, supportive, care giver that I am. Though I am no longer showing up for births, I am showing up for women and their bodies. Thank you for being here, if your heart feels called to it, I hope I get to meet you soon!
All my love,
Lacey
