Welcome. While I was pregnant with my first back in 2008 I was the ever seeking, ever in awe pregnant person. I embraced this time as a time for transition, unfurling and discovery. I was intrigued by the birth process, stayed away from people’s need to share their stories and had a deep trust within the process and that of my body and baby. When we emerged postpartum, I eagerly reached out to my fellow new birthing families in the hopes that we could reminisce and rejoice in the absolute wildness of what we have just transcended and what I was mostly met with was trauma, detachment or disinterest. It isn’t so much the birth outcome that I know to impact how we feel about our births. It’s how we were held, witnessed and trusted. It’s clear we have shifted too far from the ceremony of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. And so, since 2016 I have been following my call to provide tender support for birthing and postpartum families. Together we cultivate confidence and serenity, we get curious and explore preferences and lean into intuition, we find the flow and embrace the journey as it is. In addition to supporting birthing and postpartum families I am a certified reflexologist and Reiki practitioner. Within these modalities I also have the privilege of supporting those who are looking for holistic complementary therapy for reproductive wellness, fertility, end of pregnancy/loss and peri-menopause. I truly love this work as a way to show up for my community and bring a holistic lens to our whole being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608ad0bdb740330df07e3016/a8875487-d7fd-4982-a679-3bcc4a097213/CES05435.jpg Meet Serene Pierce - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sereneholisticwellness.ca/contact daily 0.75 2026-01-30 https://www.sereneholisticwellness.ca/home daily 1.0 2024-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608ad0bdb740330df07e3016/2a68b140-10bf-4421-8937-df9fb50e42f5/CES05422.jpg Welcome © Cobi Sharpe/Spark Adventure Photography https://www.sereneholisticwellness.ca/services-3 daily 0.75 2024-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608ad0bdb740330df07e3016/0732b007-20d3-4fdd-8397-ce46f207e407/20220501_121433.jpg https://www.sereneholisticwellness.ca/contact-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://www.sereneholisticwellness.ca/store daily 0.75 2022-11-15 https://www.sereneholisticwellness.ca/services daily 0.75 2026-01-30 https://www.sereneholisticwellness.ca/services/childbirtheducation monthly 0.5 2022-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608ad0bdb740330df07e3016/36fba8b1-d532-4520-81ea-0603b82443b7/CES05450-Edit.jpg Services - childbirth education https://www.sereneholisticwellness.ca/services/postpartum monthly 0.5 2026-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608ad0bdb740330df07e3016/dc3c71eb-bb4d-40b4-a079-d8b2a9b99c48/CES04487-Edit.jpg Services - postpartum It takes time and intention to get to know your new baby and find your flow as a new family.

She has a confident, calming presence and is loving and encouraging. She offered holistic support to both our son and family, and we trust her implicitly. Whether it was feeding or playing with our son, doing laundry, making sure I had the time and space for a shower/nap, or simply offering a kind, reassuring word, we felt completely confident in Serene's abilities to care for our newest family member. She is very grounded and when she has been in our home, I have found her to be present, caring, empathetic and loving. We would hire her again in a heartbeat, and I can't articulate how much we appreciated her knowledge and postpartum support.” -K.W https://www.sereneholisticwellness.ca/services/birth monthly 0.5 2025-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608ad0bdb740330df07e3016/6db8d00e-2693-4209-9dda-31a07438bf4b/1.png Services - birth - Prenatal I invite you to book me early.

It is our seat of creativity, our fertility. Whether birthing a baby, an idea, a movement or flow. A lot of western practice calls on what we can “do”to fix our bodies and I want to bring the focus to our well being. When concerns arise or we are being called to reassess our reproductive wellness, Reiki can be a gentle way to reconnect with ourselves and ease into surrendering and letting go what no longer is serving us. The path you are on may be riddled with uncertainties. My intention with Reiki is to bring a little more ease and lightness in support of your continued journey. Some benefits specifically in scope with reproductive wellness may be: clear old, congested energy birth reclaiming ceremony fear and trauma release fetal breech position provide support with suspected/diagnosed reproductive conditions (such as pcos, fibroids, endometriosis, etc) support a healing response for postpartum https://www.sereneholisticwellness.ca/services/fertility monthly 0.5 2022-06-22
