About

 I’m Murielle!

I vividly remember being a child and watching back to back episodes of “a baby story”, I was fascinated by the pregnancy and labour stories, of how despite the same intended outcome, it was such a unique and life altering experience for each individual involved. How a cluster of cells could become such a complex human being. I had my mind set on becoming a baby doctor!

My last year of high school I had the opportunity to attend a workshop for aspiring med school students, I had my sights set on it, until later that day, when I snuck on the nursery floor. I just had to see the babies! When I walked into the room there were a few newborns and one woman in the room. I asked her if she stayed with the babies all day, she said she did, I asked her if the doctor was around frequently, she mentioned he did rounds, and would come by occasionally to check on them but she was the one who provided the care around the clock. I asked her what she did. She said she was a nurse. And I thought "I want to be her! I want to be the person that’s always there".

I became a registered nurse and worked in public health for most of my career, providing counselling and education across the lifespan.

Following an infant mental health training, my interests for the babies was sparked again but now with a new lens. Understanding adverse childhood events and the impact of childhood trauma across the lifespan and generations became a new passion of mine. I wanted to learn more about the interplay between physical, mental and spiritual health.

I was learning and discovering it as much for myself in my personal life as in my professional life and I craved for the kind of services that could start putting all the pieces together. I learned about holistic care.

I pursued studies as a holistic reproductive practitioner, studying reiki, reflexology and doula support. I thought if people had the tools and supports to heal, not only their own trauma but intergenerational trauma, where would that leave them and the generations to come.

Along the way I found yoga, and after completing my yoga teacher training and diving into it’s somatic and therapeutic effects, I truly understood for myself that healing was an ongoing experience that encompassed many components all at once.

Taking the leap into independent practice was a big one but somehow I was always drawn to this work: supporting, advocating, empowering, educating and healing, connecting the pieces together to understand the whole.
