Raising Families with Intention, Ceremony, and Community

At COYA, we believe parenting is sacred. From preparing to conceive to nurturing your child’s growth, the early years shape generations. Our Indigenous-led family services help you approach this journey with love, clarity, and confidence—through workshops, coaching, and ceremonial support rooted in multigenerational wisdom.

Whether you're planning a family, preparing to give birth, or adjusting to life with your little one, we're here to walk with you for each rites of passage.

Coya Family services:

  • Birthing in Ceremony Workshop

    When we reclaim birth as a ceremony, not a medical event, we introduce factors that promote safety and enjoyment for one of the most precious moments in life - welcoming new life to the earth side.

    This workshop will review the stages of birth, hormones in birth, and all the ways we can introduce safety interventions and ceremonial experiences that will increase the safety of the birther, the magic of the moment, and the bonding of your new family.

    Initial Workshop (3 hours): $250

  • Pain as Resilience - Labour Pain Workshop

    The ability to seek and experience pleasure alongside pain is resilience. That’s the learning outcome of this workshop, and as a chronic pain sufferer, I will show you tools and techniques you can use to put focus on the parts of your birth and body that bring you closer to joy and further from experiencing pain through a lens of fear. These skills will support you through all the highs and lows of parenthood, speed up your labour and delivery, and will be a tool you can offer your child as they experience life.

  • Birthing Families Workshop

    When babies are born, we’re not just birthing a baby, we’re becoming parents! In modern times, often the birther and the co-parent receive little to now recognition or support in their newly formed roles. By naming, announcing, and clarifying roles of the family within the larger context of community we build resiliency factors that support families remaining happily, and healthily intact for the lifetime of the child. I’ll help you ready your family to walk out in front of your chosen family to be.

  • Nesting for Baby Workshop

    Babies are expensive and as complicated as we make them. Learn from a trained teacher, birth and family doula, and experienced parent what you actually need now, later, and what’s more of a distraction than it’s worth. You’ll leave with a curated list organized by key milestones in your life as new parents. Hands-on options to play and practice are available when this workshop is delivered to the community.

  • Designing Family Rituals and Rites of Passage

    Creating meaningful rituals and rites of passage within your family culture can profoundly shape your child’s sense of self and community. In this workshop, we’ll guide you in designing personalized ceremonies that honor life’s transitions, from early childhood to adulthood. Studies show that such rites provide children with a foundation of self-worth, community, and resilience—key protective factors against depression, low self-esteem, and self-harm. COYA will provide the tools to craft these traditions or support you in bringing ceremonies to life.
