Welcome

My name is Yaïza (she/her), currently based out of Toronto, Canada. 

I have spent many years living abroad, collecting experiences, stories, and lessons along the way, learning about myself and different ways of living. This all led me to appreciate the immense importance of community and the support it provides by creating environments where you are encouraged to ask and accept help from one another. 

Movement, art, and expression have always been a part of me, one discipline constantly leading me into a new layer of myself. I became a yoga instructor in 2018 in order to not only dive deeper into my soul practice but to share this knowledge and gift with those willing. My approach to health and wellness is through a holistic lens, inviting clients to view their experiences as multi-faceted. 

In birthing and postpartum care, my aim is to bridge the gap between Western medicine practices and the ancestral wisdom we all carry in our bodies, empowering clients to make informed decisions about their care. 

I hold a Bachelor of Design and Communications from the Toronto Metropolitan University, am a certified Yoga and Meditation Instructor, as well as Birth and Postpartum Doula.
