I am so grateful that are paths are crossing at this very moment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here. I am Makaila. A Mama, daughter, granddaughter, sister, friend, fiancee, wellness coach, doula, dog mom, entrepreneur, empath, and student. There are many hats we wear as we walk through life, each of them telling a unique story that is true to us.

I was born & raised in Saskatoon, SK. The wide open blue skies are a place of happiness for me. In 2016 I moved to Victoria, BC to go to university & experience life as an “adult”. Boy, life looks so much different now then I what I had envisioned for my life then.

After completing my education in Kinesiology, I worked for many years as a personal trainer & group fitness instructor. This was where I really first dipped my toes into the world of health & wellness/entrepreneurship. I worked with a variety of people of all sorts of different backgrounds & helped them find strength within their physical bodies.

From there, I found myself getting curious about the other “bodies” we are born with. Our emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. I was so focused on the physical body, but I knew there was more. In 2021 I sold everything, gave my notice to my landlord and set off by myself to Mexico.

I found myself in Tulum, eating fresh fruit, running barefoot on the beach, drinking from coconuts, planning how I was going to get drinking water delivered to my air bnb, biking as my main source of transportation & drinking cacao at cacao ceremonys.

It was here where I was introduced to different parts of myself. The parts of myself that were scared, anxious and fearful of what the heck I was doing living in Mexico alone. The younger parts of myself that were searching for purpose, love and belonging. The future parts of myself that were divinely guiding me along the way.

I was then led to a isolated mountain top in Guatemala. Lake Atitlan to be precise. My days started at 6am and ended at 8pm. I spent my time meditating in the mountains. Learning the science of yoga. Going down rabbit holes with a intimate group of people about earth & life itself. Discovering the sticky parts of life that were trapped in my body. Crying, laughing, singing, dancing, teaching, playing. I left with 200hrs of Yoga Teacher Training.

When I arrived back in Victoria after quite some time away, I wasnt sure what was next. Naturally, I fell back to what I knew best. Health & wellness, but with a evolved perspective. I now integrated the spiritual, mental and emotional components of wellness into my practice, along with the physical.

Not long after, I found the love of my life & now fiancee by complete fluke. We shouldn’t have met. But we did, as a divine reminder that we are always being guided. 4 months later, I was standing in my bedroom, looking at a positive pregnancy test….

“There is no way I can give birth”

“Im not ready for kids”

“How am I going to do this”

“I don’t even have my life together”

“Am I even capable of being a Mom?”

“I have no clue what to do”

The anxious thoughts filled my mind, leaving me with a sense of all time anxiety countered by a sense of peace. The thought of kids was not even a thought for me at this time of my life.

For as long as I can remember I have always been more of an anxious person. The idea of birth crippled me with fear. How the heck was I going to get a baby out of me and into the world. As I moved through each week of pregnancy, growing, and nourishing the little peanut inside of me. I began to unpack the anxiety and fears. Slowly but surely I started creating space for possibility & strength.

9 months later, I went into my birth excited, confident and like I had all of the tools I needed to support myself. I went into it knowing that this was MY story. I prayed for a positive birth & a healthy baby.

“He’s here Makaila! 8 pounds, 3 ounces. 11:03 pm on January 9th. You did it Mama”

As we laid in the hospital bed skin to skin, tears rolled down my cheeks trying to comprehend how and what just happened. Pure magic. Birth of my baby boy, and birth of an evolved version of myself.

As I processed the major turn of events in a short amount of time, I felt a deep, unexplainable, nudge to help other mamas & mamas to be on their journey from maiden to mother.

So here I am now, following that nudge And here you are now, following your nudge. Our paths have crossed, and not for any random reason. I would be honoured to hold space for YOU. To walk your journey with you. To support you in pregnancy, birth and as a new mom.
