Just as a seed grows into a plant, and a plant seeks water and reaches toward light, there is an intrinsic capacity within all living organisms to heal and to grow, and a natural inclination to move in this direction. My approach is guided by trust in the wisdom of this life process. I am a holistic practitioner working in the realms of psychotherapy and birth care, with a focus on human attachment, lifespan development, and caregiving "from womb to tomb." Birth psychology and attachment relationships are areas of special interest.

I work with people navigating a wide range of experiences related to: Sense of self; Birth and lifespan development; Interpersonal dynamics and relational patterns; Emotional and somatic awareness and integration; Trauma resolution and personal growth; and Rites of passage and psychospiritual transformation.

I offer therapeutic support in areas such as: Perinatal, early childhood, and adolescent experiences and memories; Ancestry, family of origin, and relationships; Life transitions; Stress and overwhelm; Depression and anxiety; Anger and grief; Guilt and shame; Parenting and caregiving; Social and cultural conditioning; and Meaning, purpose, and values.

Womb Care for All Ages and Phases of Life

Hosted by

Emma Ellison

This is a space to explore the cyclical wisdom of women’s reproductive lifespan and delve into a range of supports within a womb care practice, including pelvic steaming, mindful movement, self-massage, and diaphragmatic breathwork. These time-honoured rituals nurture the body and heart, promoting circulation, relaxation, and balance while supporting physical and emotional wellbeing in a way that resonates uniquely with each person. Each practice invites awareness and integration, easing tension and encouraging the natural flow of energy throughout the body. For women of all ages and phases of life, you are invited to slow down, reconnect, and honour the seasons within.
