Maternity Reflexology 
Reflexology is a safe and effective holistic therapy that has countless benefits for the expectant mother and baby.
This ancient therapy is used by applying pressure to various points on the feet that correspond to or are relative to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body helping to bring the body into a highly relaxed state that can heal and return to balance. Reflexology has been found to be effective at reducing pains and discomfort, balancing hormones, reducing possible negative side effects of pregnancy, managing, reducing or eliminating conditions in pregnancy and promoting a healthy pregnancy by preventing such conditions.
Reflexology can also be used during labour to regulate body temperature, regulate contractions, as a form of natural pain management, for relief from backache, to support the delivery of a retained placenta and more.
Naturally, reflexology is just as beneficial post partum as your body transitions once again. Reflexology has been highly effective at balancing hormones, supporting faster healing, providing relief of discomforts, support milk production and more.
Michelle Stroud was certified as a reflexologist by the Ontario College of Reflexology in 2004 and received additional training as a maternity reflexologist by the International Society of Maternity Reflexology in 2010.
You can choose how often you would like to have reflexology during your pregnancy and postpartum. Contact Michelle for your free interview if you would like to consider having reflexology at your upcoming birth. See the Labour Doula page for more information.
Sessions are 45 - 60 minutes long and $55. Package pricing is available for 4 or more sessions if prepaid.
Postpartum More information coming soon! Thank you for your patience as we add more content.

Retreats Fertility Retreat
Register for this event
Next retreat date: Sunday, September 11, 2011
This one day fertility retreat is for any woman who is trying to conceive. If you have a diagnosed complication or not, you will benefit from this enlightening experience.
Meet and be surrounded by other women who understand your journey.
~Learn the tools that you can use yourself to reduce the stress of trying to conceive.
~Learn the things they didn't teach us in school about our bodies, our cycles and how they really work.
~Learn how to balance your hormones naturally, heal infertility conditions, reduce stress, detox, boost your immune system and regulate menstrual cycles.
~Learn how to release the negative beliefs and emotions that can work against your efforts.
~Learn how to be okay not being pregnant.
~Learn how to let go of control and let go of outcomes so that your true destiny can unfold.
~Release inhibitions, improve self confidence and body image so that you can fully enjoy baby making.
The struggle to have a baby when it doesn't happen the way we think it will is a journey that only the women who have travelled it understand. Find solace being surrounded by other women who understand.
This combination of exercises and therapies provide the emotional, spiritual and energetic support that can help your body heal and remove the blockages that can't be found on an ultrasound to help you to conceive. This support cannot guarantee you pregnancy but studies have proven that emotional and holistic therapy support significantly increase your chance of conceiving and improve the success rate of medical fertility treatments. At the least, these exercises can help you feel okay in the moment, even if you are not pregnant.

Reflexology 
This ancient therapy has been practiced for thousands of years around the globe. The premise behind this relaxing and healing therapy is that there are zones (similar to meridians from chinese medicine) that run up and down the body from head to foot. On the feet there are points or reflexes that correspond to all of the parts glands and organs of the body. By applying firm pressure to the various points we can stimulate the body to return to balance, improve circulation, remove toxins, balance hormones, reduce pain, regulate blood pressure and support the body so it can return to a state of balance or homeostasis.
During a session clients become very relaxed and sometimes even sleep. Tender or "crunchy" points on the feet can indicate trouble areas in the body. We often work a little more on these parts to encourage the healing process.
Sessions take 45-60 minutes generally (shorter or longer depending on the condition of health) and are most beneficial as part of a regular treatment plan. Many clients enjoy having weekly or bi-weekly sessions to continue to keep stress levels reduced, strengthen the immune system or manage certain health conditions.
The whole system (through the feet) is always worked. It is important that we support the entire body and not treat specific symptoms. We need not know what is causing a health issue if we can help the body return to balance, it can heal itself.
Reflexology is safe, non-invasive and compliments all other therapies.
While reflexology is helpful for all conditions of health, clients have found reflexology to be especially beneficial in reducing or relieving the symptoms of:
insomnia or disturbed sleep diabetes (circulation and hormonal support) hormonal imbalances night terrors endometriosis PCOS painful and/or heavy menstruation absent or irregular menstrual cycles menopause post traumatic stress disorder pain and discomfort various discomforts or conditions during pregnancy A reflexologist will not diagnose a condition. While trouble areas can be indicated in the feet, reflexology is a complimentary therapy and should be used in conjunction with regular medical care.
Reflexology supports your body so that it can return to a state of health. Sometimes symptoms will improve or dissapear while receiving regular reflexology treatments. It may still be necessary to make other healthy lifestyle changes as well to prevent conditions from returning.

Shaman 
Tracey Kennedy practices Andean Energy Medicine. Tracey trains with and assists classes with Dr. Alberto Viloldo Psychologist and Medical Anthropologist of The Four Winds Society with his Healing the Light Body School mentoring the new generation of energy workers and Shamans.
Every session with Tracey is unique. In most cases, a session starts with a short discussion to help you and Tracey determine "what is up for you". Talking is not necessary, but can be helpful for both yourself and for Tracey to assist you in doing your work.
In most cases, as clients, we can shift old patterns that no longer serve us, heal old wounds which can remove the "buttons" that we call others to push on us. With Tracey's assistance you will quicken the pace at which you grow and evolve. In most cases, life becomes a little easier, more joyful and more clear.
Some of what Tracey will do with you in a session include:
Intuitive counselling
Soul Retrievals
Destiny Retrievals
Illumination
Divination
Entity removals
Ceremonies and rituals
Chakra clearing
and more...
Tracey's extensive training and work on herself have opened up her gifts and abilities to work on levels of our being that most of us cannot see. In many cases, this kind of work is the missing piece of the puzzle that some people are looking for.

Doula 
Photo used with permission from my client and taken by Jenn Munro Photography
A doula is a professional who provides emotional, physical, informational support for the expectant, labouring or postpartum mother. As your doula I do not perform any medical tasks. I work alongside Obstetricians, Nurses and Midwives. A doula complements your birth team.
A labour doula helps a mother cope during labour. Whether you choose to give birth naturally or with medication or via cesarean birth, my job is to support you in having a positive birth experience.
Before you give birth, we get to know each other and discuss all of your options so that you can make informed decisions. We can create a birth plan or birth wishes list. I will help you to relax and feel confident, provide massage and suggest labouring and pushing positions. I am also a certified reflexologist and you may wish to use reflexology during labour for a variety of reasons.
I do not replace your partner. I bring confidence, knowledge and experience to your birth experience. I can support your partner in supporting you at whatever level you both desire. Sometimes partners wish for me to do what I can to help you to be comfortable and other times a partner may wish to be very hands on and I can provide them with suggestions and coaching to support you confidently.
Women who have labour doulas report having shorter, easier labours with less interventions and report greater satisfaction with their birth experiences.
I am a trained doula and also a maternity reflexologist. Reflexology can be used during pregnancy and labour to induce deep relaxation, regulate body temperature, support homornal balance, stimulate effective contractions, reduce pain/discomfort and much more. By supporting deep relaxation and your endocrine system, your body will be even more effective at birthing your baby.
I have training in the following:
Current Standard First Aid & CPR Level C, The Canadian Red Cross
Certified Reflexologist, Ontario College of Reflexology
Maternity Reflexology, instructed by Moshe Kruchik, Doula and Maternity Reflexology Instructor of Israel
Certified Dancing for Birth Class Instructor, instructed by Stephanie Larson, Dancing for Birth
H.A.L.O. Labour Doula
Care of the complicated birth, H.A.L.O.
Having a doula present has been proven to promote shorter, easier labours.
Reflexology during pregnancy and/or birth has been proven to promote shorter, easier labours.
Dancing and moving the body during pregnancy and birth has been proven to promote shorter, easier labours.
Packages and Services
Oh Baby! Magazine - Why a doula is a mom's best friend "We don't think we could have had this good of an experience without Michelle's help. She was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, friendly, and professional throughout the whole pregnancy and birth process. We have no complaints what so ever and we highly recommend Michelle Stroud to be anyone's birth doula. lf we are still in this area by the time we have a second child, we won't think twice about hiring her again." - Matt

Plancenta Encapsulation
You can read more about the benefits here . It is best to make arrangements before you give birth so that I can be on call to receive your placenta. I use raw food standards when dehydrating the placenta completely. This means that I use as little heat as possible for nutrient retention. You will receive capsules, a tincture, essence and prints. Capsules and essence will be delivered within two days of my receiving your placenta. Your tincture will be ready after 6 weeks. $200 ($150 for doula clients)
Fertility 
Fertility Reflexology
There are points on your feet that are relative to every gland, organ and part of your body. During a fertility reflexology session we apply firm pressure to all of the various points on your feet. During this treatment, your body will go into a parasympathetic response which is a deep state of relaxation - the opposite of fight or flight. This promotes conception because our current patterns put us in fight or flight to some degree, most of the time. Fight or flight is a survival state that should be reserved for when our life is in danger. Being in this state (feeling stress, rushing etc.) does not promote conception or healing. Resetting your nervous system allows your body to heal and conceive.
Reflexology balances hormones. By stimulating each of the endocrine glands, we can promote hormonal balance in your body. Stimulating ovaries, fallopian tubes and ovaries brings balance and healing to these areas as well.
The greatest thing about fertility reflexology is that we do not have to know why conception is not occuring, we always stimulate the entire body system each session, regardless of what the health concern is. I have had clients with ovarian cysts and severe endometriosis find that future ultrasounds show these conditions to be gone. Clients have also reported having regular menstrual cycles again or for the first time, reduction or elimination of PMS and a healthier menstrual flow indicating improved reproductive health.
The majority of my clients have unexplained or undiagnosed fertility challenges, and that does not make our work together any more challenging.
Energetically, reflexology will clear any blockages from your body system that may be causing a condition or blocking conception.
$65/1 hour session or $55 for prepaid sessions when you book 4* or more *(Can be used for one or two people)
Fertility Restorative Yoga
Yoga is amazing for fertility support. Again, yoga (especially restorative yoga!) will put your body into that deep state of relaxation and healing. You will leave feeling deeply relaxed and at peace. You will experience improved circulation and flow of highly oxygenated blood throughout your body. All of your internal organs will be gently massaged as you fold, twist and stretch in different ways. Energetically these movements will clear energetic blocks in your system (flow of chi or qi) and promote healing and conception. The movements in this class are geared towards fertility. The second chakra is associated with the reproductive organs and creativity/fertility. In this class, more emphasis is placed on movements that clear and charge up the second chakra promoting healing in this area and changing your energetic field to be one that is receptive to creating new life. Addition of crystal bowl sound therapy during your class will boost this clearing and charge. You will begin to think about conception differently from an energetic point of view. Where are you putting your energy in life? What about your partner? How you think and behave changes your vibration. This may sound like hippy new age talk but science has proven that we are made up of energy. Change the resonance you are vibrating at to one that promotes new life.
Each class will begin and end with positive intentions and affirmations that will gradually change the way you feel and think about yourself and your body, releasing old thought patterns, eliminating fears and anxiety and creating new ways of being.
$60/4 weekly classes or $100/4 weekly couples classes
Shaman work
Using personal sessions, journey classes or ceremonies you will be supported intuitively to release old ways of being that no longer serve you. Our shaman intuitively tracks your system to help you discover what may be getting in the way of conception. You will receive emotional support as you discover "what's up" for you. Intuitively, you know what is ready to shift, whether you realize it or not. Have emotional or energetic blocks unhooked and removed, have entities extracted, receive back soul pieces and more. What is your life's purpose? What are the gifts in your experiences so far and how can you honour those so that you can move forward. Release your greatest fears or triggers so that you can continue being at your highest level. There are many causes to infertility energetically and every session is individual and tracked for you specifically.
Regular session $75 Deep session $100 Couples session $100 Discounts available for prepaid sessions if you book 4 or more.
All of our classes and services are non-invasive and compliment medical fertility treatments to improve success rates or can be used without the addition of medical support.
We make no guarantee of conception but we feel very confidentin our ability to support you on this journey.
