Nancy Lucina is a ceremonialist, sound healer, women’s guide, birth educator and postpartum care provider and mother of 4 who has been supporting women through life’s initiations, transitions, and healing journeys for over a decade. Her work weaves together ritual, ancestral wisdom, embodiment practices, and earth-based spirituality to create spaces where profound healing and transformation can unfold.
Nancy has spent years studying with Indigenous Mexican elders and wisdom keepers, deepening her understanding of ceremony, grief, community, and the sacred cycles of life and death. She is the founder of multiple programs and communities dedicated to women’s healing, cyclical wisdom, and reclaiming a more intimate relationship with the body and spirit.
Her connection to this work is also deeply personal. Nancy experienced the devastating loss of her daughter, Lilah Jewel, at 27 weeks gestation. She has also experienced miscarriage. Through her own journey of grief, remembrance, and healing, she came to understand how profoundly transformative it can be to have spaces where loss is honored, witnessed, and held with tenderness.
Nancy brings both professional experience and lived understanding to her work with bereaved mothers and families. She believes that grief is not something to be fixed or overcome, but something sacred that deserves time, presence, ritual, and compassionate support. Her intention is to create spaces where every story is welcome, every emotion belongs, and no one has to walk this path alone.

The First Forty Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother, by Hen Ou, Amely Greeven, Marisa Belger
Modern guide rooted in traditional postpartum wisdom from cultures around the world, especially the Chinese practice of zuo yuezi (“sitting the month”). The authors highlight a universal truth: the first six weeks after birth are a sacred window of recovery, bonding, and rebuilding, and how a mother is supported during this time influences her long-term physical and emotional health.
Ina May's Guide to Childbirth
Foundational text in modern midwifery that reframes birth not as a medical crisis, but as a physiological, powerful, and deeply human experience. Ina May Gaskin, a renowned midwife from The Farm (Tennessee), blends birth stories, practical guidance, and evidence-informed midwifery wisdom to empower birthing people to trust their bodies.
The Nourished Mother, by Lindsay Taylor
Recovery begins with how you're fed. Written by Canadian food doula Lindsay Taylor, The Nourished Mother is a warm, practical cookbook made for the real rhythms of new motherhood one-handed meals, freezer-prep plans, and recipes that replenish a healing, depleted body (and support milk supply, if you're nursing). It's nourishment without the overwhelm: simple food that helps you feel cared for, while you care for your baby.
The Midwife Box
Some of the most tender parts of pregnancy happen in the in-between; in the quiet of the evening, in the questions that surface at 2am. The Midwife Box was made for exactly those moments.
Each box is curated by Kate, a Canadian midwife, with midwife-written education and intentionally chosen essentials to carry you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum for something meaningful to turn to when you need it most.
These curated baskets are rooted in the same kind of care I believe in and bring to every family I walk alongside. I share it because it's something I'd genuinely want for myself.

Essentials
Spinning Babies® Daily Activities
One of the simplest, kindest things you can do for your body in pregnancy is to move it gently and often.
This collection of easy, everyday movements like walking, stretching, gentle inversions, and pelvic tilts that help ease common aches, and create space for your baby to settle into a good position for birth.
3 Rs: Relaxation, Rhythm, and Ritual
When labour begins, slow, steady and signals to your body that it's safe to soften and open. It's also the foundation of Penny Simkin's 3 Rs: the people who cope most beautifully aren't following a script; they between contractions,t like a ritual, wave after wave. The power isn't in any single technique; it's in finding your rhythm and trusting it.
Take Charge Routine
Is a simple, powerful tool a partner can lean on in that moment: coming in close, holding you steadily, and offering a rhythm to follow so you don't have to think when it matters most, because at its heart it isn't about taking over, but being a grounding presence so you feel held, capable, and never alone.
What if your skincare could be as gentle as the season you're in?
There's something quietly grounding about it, tallow is simple and ancestral, and because it mirrors the natural oils already in our skin, it melts in and nourishes in a way plant-based products often can't.
Gentle and rich in the vitamins skin loves, it's a soft bit of comfort for the tender, stretched, and weary skin that pregnancy and postpartum can bring.
It's local, women-owned, and made with the same honest, intentional care I try to bring to every family I support: the kind of thing I happily keep on my own shelf.
