Hello friends! 

My name is Shayna, She/Her.  I’m a mom to 3 wonderfully wild children, and a wife to a man who supports my every move, crazy or not! I’m an avid coffee drinker, snack provider and hug giver. I’m also a Doula, Childbirth Educator, Peer Lactation Counsellor, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, Certified Infant Massage Instructor and Massage Therapist. I love all things perinatal and parenthood.

At Nurturing Roots we offer an array of educational support services all in one location! No more searching for the classes you’re looking for or waiting long periods of time for the new start date! At Nurturing Roots we have continual classes being ran at your convenience. 

Education is a passion of mine and my drive for knowledge is every flowing, always learning and always growing.

Grow along side me.


Nurturing Roots provides a safe and inclusive gathering space for local families wanting to find support, education, guidance, and community during their pre/postnatal journey. 

I found myself struggling to find a space to hold classes, where people could let their guard down and feel heard for their struggles and need for education and guidance. 

I wanted to create a space where everyone walks out feeling confident and empowered by the choices they have.  A space where you feel safe to share what is on your mind, and have support to move through those feelings. 

Nurturing Roots is a gathering space for anyone looking for support, guidance and education during your pre/postnatal journey. It’s for parents wanting to create a deeper bond with their infants. And for other birth workers looking for a teaching space, client meetings or an environment to host workshops.

I started Nurturing Roots because
