When we raise our children, we're truly shaping our grandchildren’s future. By age seven, children have already learned how to be parents themselves. With this small, precious window to model love, empathy, and intentionality, COYA Family Services offers guidance to help you prepare to become parents before welcoming your children Earth Side.
Together, let’s show the next generations of kids how to grow into empathetic, intentional, and considerate community members—leaders of their own legacy, fully believing in the power and consequences of their actions.
Welcome to the village, we’ve been waiting for:

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.

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.
