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, and Certified Infant Massage Instructor. I love all things perinatal and parenthood.

At Nurturing Roots we offer an array of educational support services because we believe support looks different for everyone.

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 space for local families wanting to find support, education, guidance, and community during their pre/postnatal journey. 

I started Nurturing Roots because…

For me, Nurturing Roots is more than a business; it’s a calling. I’ve always believed in the profound strength birthers find during their transition into parenthood, but I also understand how vital it is to have a helping hand and extra support along the way. Whether it’s guiding a parent through the beauty of infant massage, offering emotional support during labor, or teaching childbirth education classes that build confidence, my goal has always been to provide care that is as nurturing as it is practical.

The name Nurturing Roots symbolizes the foundation I hope to provide—a strong, supportive start that families can build upon as they grow. My hope is that every client utilizes our care, feels empowered to trust their instincts, embrace the joys and challenges of parenthood, and know they’re not alone.

Starting Nurturing Roots has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. It’s a privilege to be part of so many incredible journeys, to witness the resilience of parents, and to play a role in helping families flourish. I am endlessly inspired by the strength, love, and connection I see in each family, and I am honored to nurture those roots as they grow.
