| About me |
Registered Acupuncturist RAc., BA, Shamanic Practitioner, Holistic Doula and Mama.
Growing up in the wilds of Alberta near her grandparents and extended family from the earliest age Marika was exposed to the importance of being raised by a village of humans, animals, trees and plants. Though it wasn’t until living in Tanzania on a medical anthropology internship during university that she recognized that the village was lacking for most families she knew in Canada. Upon returning to Canada she became a birth and postpartum doula to work with families through the child bearing years.
It was during her training as a doula at Pacific Rim College that she was inspired by the philosophy and wholistic health model of Chinese Medicine. After several years of working as a doula and studying to be a Shamanic practitioner, she decided to return to Pacific Rim College to complete her training as an Acupuncturist. Graduating with the highest honours, Marika offers a grounded and inspired approach to her treatments, weaving her knowledge of Western Anatomy and physiology, herbs, shamanic healing, birth medicine and the ancient art of Chinese Medicine. She loves to work with girls and women in learning to balance and track their cycles, preparing for conception, finding ease, comfort and strength throughout pregnancy and birth, transitioning gracefully into motherhood and supporting mental and emotional wellbeing throughout life.
