Seasonal Doula

  • I offer you support, friendship, guidance, resources, referrals and tenderness to honour and nourish your experience as you ride the waves of conception, pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion, postpartum, infertility or menopause. We are seasonal beings. Like the weather, we are meant to undulate like the oceans, ebbing and flowing like the tide. I’m here to hold space for your journey, whatever it looks like.

Shadow Boxing with your Shadow Self

  • Shadow Boxing with your Shadow Self is a martial arts informed somatic practice to address and affirm female rage and grief. Living in a female body in this day and age is HARD, and yet, there isn’t much time or space for female rage, or the emotion that often sits right beneath it: grief.

    In Shadow Boxing with your Shadow Self, I create a container to call your rage and grief to the surface. Using martial arts inspired movements and sound healing therapy, I invite women to call their rage to the surface, to feel it move through their bodies and out of their fists and feet. As anger dissipates, we drop into our grief, using somatic movements and circle work to tenderly hold whatever comes up. We close with a restorative meditation, drawing sustenance up from the earth and from the women we sit with. We close the session with a fortifying women’s wellness tea and the knowledge that our shadow selves are welcome, loved and set free.

Story Witnessing & Writing

  • We need to be heard, to release the words stuck inside of our bodies. Other times, the words are there, but we can’t quite get them out. We want help birthing our story and recording it. I use my background as a writer to help you transform your experience into something you can hold and revisit. I listen to your experience and capture it in story form, using my words to help honour and heal transitional experiences like menstruation, birth, miscarriage, abortion and beyond. 

Holistic Pelvic Care

  • Holistic Pelvic Care™ (HPC) is a multidimensional approach to women’s health and wellbeing, founded by Tami Lynn Kent.

    HPC physically and energetically realigns the pelvic bowl to enhance creative potential, pelvic wellness, post-partum care, pelvic pain, and healing for miscarriage. 

    HPC care combines elements of physical therapy, energy work, and emotional healing to address imbalances and provide healing and nourishment to women and their sacred body.

    The practice involves gentle, hands-on techniques, through external and internal massage. These techniques release tension, increase circulation, and restore balance in the pelvic bowl. They include working with myofascial release, trigger point therapy, internal pelvic muscle release, craniosacral therapy.

    Our bodies deserve this kind of hands on care and tending.

Healing Circles & Ceremonies

  • I facilitate healing circles and ceremonies to help you memorialise moments that are important. We’ll work together to conceptualise culturally meaningful practices that feel celebratory and supportive, and most importantly, center you. I help you pause, take up time and space, and integrate.

I wrote the poem below as a meditation on how we are carried in water, wombs and women, from generation to generation, across ocean and seas. I share it with you as a window into my mind, and the place from which my work is born.

I am a journey

that started in my grandmother’s womb,

beneath the monsoon skies of Chợ Lớn at noon.

my mother,

a fetus, nestled in the oceans of bà ngoại,

me,

an egg buried deep within má and bà,

layers of matriarchy keeping me warm and waiting.

I am a bridge between past, present and future

connecting lifetimes and lives

spent floating inside

bodies of water, women and wombs.
