Hi, I’m Lana.

I’ve been researching holistic healing and well-being for periods, wombs, perimenopause, pregnancy and more for a decade and it all began with addressing my own challenging symptoms. My period problems led me to embracing periods as the powerful body-based rituals they are, and propelled me onto a path committed to healing our culture’s relationship to the feminine and embodiment.
I want to rewrite our cultural expectations for the lived experience of having periods, pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, postpartum, perimenopause and beyond. These are all powerful times and parts of living in these bodies, and I want all of us to tap into the gifts that lay in each of these stages.

My training has and continues me to support clients dealing with adverse symptoms across this full spectrum of experiences. I am trained and certified as a Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner, a Peristeam Facilitator, and a Doula. Few people know what all of these mean, so I call myself a womb witch; I weave together modern science with ancient healing practices and intuition to offer clients an alternative approach to their bodies and symptoms - an alternative approach that I hope is more and more holistic the more I learn.

Charting Your Cycle

Charting is a data collection tool that allows you to better understand your cycles and any adverse symptoms. This practice empowers you to make more informed decisions and plans regarding your health. Your charts are a tool for translating the language of signs and symptoms from your body into a language you can understand.

Focuses:

  • Contraception

  • Conception

  • Addressing Problematic Periods

Pelvic Bowl Steaming

Also known as "yoni steams", "bajos", and "chai-yok", Pelvic Bowl Steams have been used for centuries around the world to address painful or irregular periods, fibroids, infertility, cysts, endometriosis, and vaginal dryness. Each steam includes ritual, meditations, Womb Yoga, somatic exercises, tea and nourishment, all to support energetically cleansing the womb.

Focuses:

  • Healing Relationship to the Feminine

  • Restoring Your Ability to Listen to the Body

  • Relaxing tension in pelvic floor

Vulva & Womb Care Consultation

Whether it’s discussing options to address prolapse, cervicitis, or a vaginal itch that won’t go away, these consultations serve as a landing point or compass to point you in a direction that feels hopeful and aligned with your values.

Areas of Research:

  • Uterine alignment and prolapse

  • Vaginal tension

  • Vulvovaginal biome pH

  • Connections between cycles and mental health

  • Nervous system changes throughout the cycle

My philosophy & spirituality

  • I believe in equally valuing the feminine and the masculine, and that we all contain both in our own unique and fluctuating formulas.

  • I believe that being incarnate is a gift and having a body is meant to be a joyous thing worth celebrating.

  • I believe that when we have challenging symptoms emotions, and/or thought patterns, they can block our ability to feel the inherent joyfulness of having a body.

  • I have seen souls unfurl and come on stage in full, unbashed bloom through artistic expression and the joy of dance.

  • I believe - thanks to Audre Lorde for her influence on this - that the raw creative energy in our wombs is available for all kinds of creative endeavours: building a house, writing, painting, having children, creative parenting, teaching, problem-solving — you name it.

  • I believe that the Great Turning is upon us and we are blessed with this opportunity to breathe life into what nourishes the joyful reality of being alive in this world.

  • I believe in honouring and respecting whole plants for their many gifts — from spiritual to physical and everything in between.

  • I believe the wounded and the healer are never fully separate — and my calling is to support the (re-)discovery of the wise healer within you while I continue recovering the wise healer within me.

Mystic of the Womb:

A Journal for Cultivating Wombfulness through Pelvic Bowl Steaming

To cultivate wombfulness is to develop a sense of awareness of the womb and to allow the wisdom, insights, and other riches that originate in the womb to be experienced both consciously and unconsciously. The journal is dedicated towards restoring the status of the womb in our every day lives with the faith that more guidance from our wombs / our roots will support restoring right relationships within the world.
