Hi, I’m Kayla – a Canadian Certified Counsellor, Mama of two, and birth trauma survivor based in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
In 2021, I experienced a traumatic miscarriage, and in 2022, I narrowly escaped a stillbirth due to a fetal-maternal hemorrhage. These experiences, both deeply personal and transformative, have shaped my passion for supporting others through their own reproductive journeys.
Why Lotus & Lily?
The journey to motherhood closely mirrors the life cycle of the lotus flower, symbolizing resilience, transformation and beauty emerging from the depths of darkness and uncertainty.
Just as the lotus roots itself in muddy waters, mothers often begin their path amidst challenges and unknowns. Through perseverance and nurturing, both the lotus and mothers rise above these initial difficulties, blossoming into symbols of strength and grace. This parallel underscores the profound growth and enlightenment that can arise from navigating the complexities of motherhood.
“If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant or weak, return to yourself, to who you are here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong”
