My Village
Everyone told me that becoming a mom takes a village. I didn't fully understand what that meant until I became one.
Along the way, I found people who supported me through pregnancy, helped me prepare for birth, guided me through those early postpartum days, and made motherhood feel a little less overwhelming. These are the people, businesses, and resources that became part of my village — and the ones I’d happily recommend to yours.
The People
The people worth knowing. The places worth finding.
-
At The Healing House YXE
My go-to girl for prenatal and postpartum discomfort — and a killer massage when you just need to relax.
-
At True North Chiropractic
Quite literally kept my pelvis from falling apart during my pregnancy. A lifesaver for prenatal and postpartum pelvic and back pain.
-
At The Village YXE
Gentle adjustment techniques to help with my daughter’s body tension, and supported us through our tongue and lip tie release journey. Special interests include pediatrics and women's health.
-
At Reynolds Physiotherapy
Helped me prepare for birth and made such a difference in my postpartum recovery. Passionate about core and pelvic floor health.
-
At Origin Chiropractic & Room Four Therapy
Supported me through my fertility journey, pregnancy discomfort and anxiety, and the ups and downs of postpartum.
-
At Speech Thrapy Saskatoon
Guided me through tongue tie and breastfeeding/bottle challenges. So passionate and empathetic when it comes to the challenges of early feeding.
-
At Embark
As a new mom herself, this beautiful soul offers breathwork, yoga, and holistic coaching. Her 9D breathwork journey was transformational for me during my own path to motherhood.
-

A compassionate space for families navigating the unimaginable loss of a baby. Services are provided free of charge, made possible through the generosity of donors and community partners.
Movement & Community
My personal favourite places to move, sweat, and connect with other moms.
-
A fun, welcoming space for moms and babies to move, sweat, and mingle. Justine and Jacquelyn focus on building strength, improving mobility, and supporting postpartum recovery.
-
This baby-wearing postnatal class for new moms and their little ones gets spicy. The bigger the baby, the harder the workout! A fun way to move, sweat, and connect with other like-minded moms.

This lady has single-handedly kicked my butt during her strength training classes! Also offers 1:1 personalized online coaching with a focus on prenatal and postpartum movement.

A free 6-week yoga class for moms and their babies. This was such a great way for me to ease back into movement while connecting with other moms in a welcoming and supportive space.
-
A great option for both expecting and postpartum moms looking to stay active, build strength, and connect with other women along the way. Ashley is so kind and welcoming!
