About

I am a wife, mother, herbalist, yoga instructor, student, doula & coffee addict. I enjoy making people laugh and I am passionate about community. I graduated from the Musical Theatre program at Sheridan College (Oakville, Ont) and worked in theatre, film and television for 10 years. I also attended and graduated as a Practicle Herbalist from Wild Rose College (Calgary, AB), and trainned as a Yoga instructor at theSIVANANDA ashram in Madurai, IN. I am a certified birth doula through DONA international, educated at Mount Royal University. I am a knowledge junkie with a lot to learn and especially love to read about nutrition, health and wellness. I enjoy playing with my son, cooking, eating, family, watching families grow/babies being born gardens/permaculture, playing guitar, singing, laughing, democracynow.org and bike riding with my family. I am currently learning how to speak and write Malayalam as my husband is from the South of India.

moksha mama was a phrase I found in my Yoga teacher training while studying the bhagavad Gita; (sanskrit)

मोक्ष mokṣa; liberation

मातृmama; for me/ toward me

 

Welcome to my word press site, please browse around at all my different interests pertaining to health and wellness:) The photos on this site are mostly taken by my husband or myself, in the case of using photos from clients births I get full permission from the family involved.

Please see the right side ‘about me’ column on all pages for a bio:)

My doula services are separate from my knowledge as a herbalist and Yoga teacher as I am dedicated to following the DONA code of ethics and standards of practice. If you are interested in my services as a Doula I can provide resources, information and meet with you outside of my doula role if you request prenatal yoga postures or basic herbal remedies. Please feel free to contact me about any of the information on this site;) Thank you for checking out mokshamama!

Many blessings:)-V

 

herbalist, Yoga teacher and doula (DONA).
