Hi. I am Asia. I am a Herbalist, Birth Doula, Yoga Teacher, Intuitive Energy Worker and Educator.
I believe in the inherent wisdom within each of our bodies and the essential need of individual and global healing, especially during this time. I truly believe that through healing ourselves, we heal the land and help raise the consciousness here on Earth. What healing we do during our life matters, it directly effects our children and all the lives we will touch. As a practitioner, I understand that social justice and health care are fundamentally linked and believe in educating, listening and serving in the best ways I possibly can. |
Registered Holistic Birth Doula, Community Herbalist,
Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist, E-RYT 200hr, & Reiki Master |
I have studied Yoga since 2007 and taught since the fall in 2015. My first 200hr training was done through Naked Truth Yoga, only igniting the passion within me to dive into the world of alternative medicine more so. The following year, in 2016 I found my teacher and Yoga mentor, Karen Waite. I studied under her, starting my 500-hr and redoing my 200-hr through Red Door Yoga. In 2016 I started a one-on-one Reiki mentorship, graduating to my master teaching level in 2018. In the fall of 2017, I took an
85-hr Ayurvedic Yoga Teacher training through Melanie Phillips which has deeply served my personal health and ability to serve at a deeper level. I love integrating the wisdom of Ayurveda into all my work to help my clients achieve a dynamic state of balance, health and vitality according to their unique mind-body makeup. During January of 2016, I took my Doula training and Prenatal Yoga Teacher training. I studied under one of Vancouver’s most well known Birth Doula’s, Jessica Austin and Traditional Midwives, Gloria Lemay, through Wise Woman's Way of Birth. Their knowledge of an unassisted, hands-off approach gave me an understanding of what kind of, empowering, transformative experience I would like to promote through my work. For my Pre/Post-natal yoga training, I studied under retired Birth Doula and E-85-hr Prenatal Yoga teacher trainer, Lori Lucas in Vancouver, B.C. Her approach to birth education and care solidified the wisdom I had acquired in my Doula training, highlighting the importance of self-care, and holistically aligning the body with its own natural rhythms during this time. Since the winter in 2019 I have been enrolled in a 3-year Medical Herbalism course in Victoria, B.C at Pacific Rim College to deep dive into the world of Herbalism, nutrition and Ayurveda with a special emphasis on pregnancy, birth and childcare.
Some highlights of my studies and experience to date include:
1000+ hours yoga teaching experience
1500+ hours in holistic perinatal continuing education
150+ hours studying Ayurvedic medicine
500+ hours in Yoga trainings and courses
