One of the most important human needs is to be witnessed — to feel heard, seen, and supported. This is my wish for you. Through the strength of my clients sharing their stories and from my own experiences with repeated miscarriages, fertility treatment and motherhood, I have learned that each person’s story is unique and worth telling.
I will support you wherever you are in the spectrum of womanhood—infertility, loss, pregnancy, birth trauma, postpartum, motherhood, and beyond. As a former doula turned therapist, I have spent the last decade supporting women through these vulnerable life stages, and I know that they can be deeply challenging and isolating. Mental health often takes a toll, and life can feel overwhelming. I want you to know that you are not alone.
I utilize an eclectic therapeutic approach and provide each client with a thoughtful and personalized treatment plan. This often includes narrative therapy and mindfulness techniques. The key is finding what works best for you.
Being your therapist is an honour that I take very seriously. I am in awe of the strength it takes to get the help you need, and you should feel proud for taking this step. Your goals and hopes are at the core of my heart, and I look forward to being part of your healing journey.

I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career that would help others, but it wasn’t until I began my journey into chiropractic medicine that I understood what that pursuit would look like for me. After earning my Bachelor of Science, I went on to receive my Doctor of Chiropractic which then lead to an expansive internship at NY Chiropractic College. These experiences allowed me to uncover the ‘why’ behind my passions - helping families navigate beautiful changes in their lives. Practicing chiropractic has been such a rewarding feeling that sometimes words fail to describe.
I am so fulfilled not only by helping women and their babies thrive, but also through educating them on their bodies and how they can grow stronger connections to them. I also find it imperative that women have a reliable, safe option that they can depend on to receive the gentle and informed treatments that they deserve. I am so grateful for the opportunity to make positive contributions to people’s lives that will hopefully leave lasting impressions on their total health and well-being.
I work at both the Central and Hyde Park locations. I am accepting new patients at this time and look forward to meeting you!

From 2007-2021 I worked as an RN (BScN) mainly in a Neonatal Instensive Care Unit, also with experience in Labour & Delivery, and Postpartum care. In 2011, I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and continued my association with the board until 2021. I have firsthand knowledge of routine hospital practices and how to overcome the barriers to breastfeeding that are often involved. I have also supported many families who chose home births. I continued my learning to include Cranial Sacral Therapy and integrate into every consult. This can address adhesions/tightness to promote better function of the body for infants in relation to feeding, but goes beyond to support digestion, sleep, neurological regulation, teething, and more.
I am passionate about empowering families with knowledge, support and practical suggestions to overcome their barriers for the most positive client experience. I provide realistic support and am understanding that every family needs an individual plan. At times I will encourage families to access other resources to assist with their breastfeeding goals, recognizing that a holistic approach is important.
I am experienced in providing breastfeeding support from birth to the older infant, with expertise in early and late preterm infants.
After having my own child, I recognized the truth more than ever to the phrase, “it takes a village to raise a child.” Unfortunately, our culture doesn’t seem to support parents through this passage, and I at times felt like asking, “where is my village?”
I understand the need more than ever for breastfeeding support as it can feel like the foundation of raising strong, healthy families. I hope to help you on your journey to making breastfeeding a positive experience and to enjoying your baby.

Hello, I’m Kirstin - a compassionate and dedicated Certified Reflexologist with a specialization in reproductive health, a Level II Reiki healer, and a Full Spectrum Doula in London, Ontario. With a background as a Registered Practical Nurse, I’ve channelled my passion for holistic wellness and reproductive health into my current roles.
My journey has been shaped by experiences of my journey into motherhood and navigating loss and grief. As a mother of twin daughters, I understand the beauty and challenges of the postpartum period intimately. Additionally, I have faced the profound grief of losing both of my parents in the past six years. These experiences have not only deepened my empathy but also inspired me to provide a safe and nurturing space for those seeking to process their own grief and find solace.
My primary focus is on postpartum and loss clients, as I believe in the power of compassionate care during these transformative moments of life. My doula training equips me to offer support not only during childbirth but throughout the entire reproductive journey, including fertility, postpartum, and loss.In addition to my training, I’ve delved into the world of holistic wellness. I create my own herbal tea blends and salves, which I use to enhance and personalize each client session. These natural remedies add an extra layer of comfort and healing to the experience.
In addition to my practice, I am proud to teach reflexology with By The Moon, where I earned my certifications. Sharing my expertise and knowledge with others is a passion of mine, and I am dedicated to helping others become skilled reflexologists.
Outside of my professional life, I am actively involved in my children’s school as a volunteer, embracing the importance of community and education. This commitment to community is an extension of my caring nature, both in my personal life and my practice.
I am honoured to walk alongside you on your journey, providing a warm, empathetic, and experienced hand to guide you through the various stages of life. Whether you’re seeking support for reproductive health, a safe space to navigate grief, or a holistic approach to wellness, I am here to support and empower you.
Thank you for entrusting me as your companion on this journey towards healing and holistic wellness.

As a mom of three kids ages 4 and under, I understand the challenges of caring for our own bodies while supporting the development of our little ones. This is why I am passionate about both pelvic health and pediatric physiotherapy. I would be honoured to support you through some of the physical changes that come with pregnancy, delivery, and the post-partum period. Together we will find how physiotherapy can fit into your life so you can minimize discomfort during pregnancy, prep for delivery, and maintain or return to the activities you love to do – and even become stronger than before pregnancy (no matter how long ago you were pregnant!).
Once your little one arrives, they may need some extra support meeting motor milestones and addressing other physical concerns such as torticollis, brachial plexus injuries, and plagiocephaly. I love working with families to support their children in a fun, playful and engaging manner. I am also able to address pelvic health concerns in children including incontinence, bedwetting, and constipation.
I completed my Physiotherapy training at Western University with additional training in Pelvic Health and Pediatric Physiotherapy. I have also completed a Master’s degree in Neuroscience and a PhD in Physical Therapy at Western University which help me understand the important role the nervous system plays in both pelvic health and child motor development.

After experiencing birth & post partum with my first child I was left wondering if I had done it “right”? I began reading and educating myself on everything I could to prepare my body and mind to heal and prepare for my second pregnancy. It was during this time that I found my passion - supporting birthing people and their families and celebrating the transition to parenthood.
Although I am no longer an active doula attending births, I am still very connected to the birth community. I am lucky to have the opportunity to connect with new families through facilitating Rebirth’s Childbirth Education Workshops. Sharing knowledge and experiences to both educate and empower birthing people is something I am very passionate about.
I believe that knowledge is power and support is key in so much of what we do in our birth journey.

“Dr. Brenna Kaschor brings a wide variety of interests, experience and expertise to her work. She completed her PhD in Biochemistry at Western University, followed by medical school and family medicine residency at the Schulich School of Medicine. Her passion for learning and research has led her in many directions and she is involved in many different aspects of medicine.
As an Adjunct Research Professor in the Department of Family Medicine she is interested in exploring how early life experiences shape life-long health and how we can use this knowledge to prevent and treat disease.
Her clinical focus is intimately tied with her life experiences. She is the proud mom of twins, and to her, parenting is both the most challenging, and the most life-affirming and fulfilling experience of her life. A physically, emotionally and mentally challenging pregnancy, premature delivery and breastfeeding journey inspired her to look at how medicine and health care can better support women and families through these times. This, coupled with some of her early experiences in family practice with complex mental health and addictions led her to the work of Dr. Felitti, Dr. Anda, and importantly of Dr. Nadine Burke-Harris and the Center for Youth Wellness.
These trailblazing physicians discovered and expanded the concept that early childhood trauma, which comes in many forms, directly impacts the developing brain, predisposing and in some cases leading directly to disease.
After many years of planning, Dr Kaschor founded a not-for-profit organization and registered charity whose mission is to prevent and treat adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and prevent the intergenerational transmission of trauma. This center, called “G.R.O.W.; grounded roots, open wings” is located within the larger medical clinic Prisma Health Care Collaborative (Prisma HCC). The first 5 years of life are the most important for intellectual, emotional and physical development and investment here provides dividends many times over later in life.
Dr. Kaschor strongly believes that the focus of our health system should be fostering wellness, rather than treating disease. With her experience and interest in the interplay between mental and physical health, she uses a wholistic lens when approaching patient concerns. She has also completed additional training in mental health and addiction medicine and has worked both in both hospital and community settings. She advocates for harm reduction and evidence-based treatments for individuals with substance use disorders.
She has authored many peer-reviewed publications about the effects of early development on disease later in life and her research focuses on how we can identify, assess, prevent and treat toxic stress.
She has received the designation of GP – Focused Practice dermatology and runs the Primary Care Skin Procedures Clinic.

My primary objective is to establish a safe environment where my patients can explore and gain a comprehensive understanding of their pelvic health and its profound impact on their overall well-being.

Since becoming a Registered Nurse (RN) in 2012, I have been passionate about working with families in the perinatal period! Having a baby is one of the most fulfilling and rewarding times in a person’s life, but it can also be one of the most overwhelming, especially when faced with infant feeding challenges. My own journey as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) began after the birth of my first child, Hudson, who was born with a significant tongue-tie. Hudson and I faced many breastfeeding challenges but I was lucky to have received the support of a couple amazingly talented IBCLCs. After overcoming these challenges, I felt called to shift the focus of my career to work with families experiencing difficulties with breast/chest-feeding. I have since helped hundreds of parents and babies to navigate all sorts of infant feeding challenges and have also gone on to breastfeed two more children of my own!
Having worked through the experience of tethered oral tissues (TOTs), aka tongue and lip ties, with two of my three kids, I have taken a special interest in TOTs as an IBCLC. I have attended specialized trainings related to working with infants with TOTs and have gained some very valuable expertise in working with these babies. Whether your baby may have TOTs or not, as an IBCLC, I will use my skills, knowledge, and experience to help you and your baby to overcome whatever feeding struggles you may be facing.

Parenting can be magical, beautiful and life changing. Sometimes though, it can also be nothing like how we imagined it would be. After over a decade of experience working with parents and children in the London community, as well as working internationally, I have developed a passion for supporting individuals and families in managing difficult times in their lives in order to find balance. Whether it be through infertility, the worries of pregnancy, the adjustment of new-parenthood or experiencing a child with higher needs/ neurodiversities, you deserve to have someone on your side to navigate these uncertainties.
I know the ups and downs that come with parenting. Dealing with the daily attempts to manage everything can be overwhelming. As a mother of four amazing and uniquely individual children myself, I have lived experience with this venture. I also know the benefits of building an amazing support system and resources from which to utilize during difficult times.
Outside of my work as a social worker, you may also see me around Rebirth as one of the yoga instructors. If you have ever attended any of my classes, you will know that I truly believe one of the greatest benefits of yoga has to do with its effect on our minds- by being able to become present, slow down, and turn inwards. This is why, along with various therapeutic techniques, I find benefit from incorporating somatic tools into our sessions in order to gain access to the nervous system and discover peace within our bodies and our minds.
You are not alone in this journey. Together, we can explore difficult emotions, and develop tools which you can draw upon to thrive during this challenging season in your life.
