Sexual & Reproductive Health Education Classes!
Register for classes that are trauma-informed, body/sex-positive, & queer-affirming lens!
I understand that affordability is important so I’ve done my best to keep my pricing thoughtful & accessible. My rates are lower than many biopsychosocial support services that don’t offer the kind of specialized, culturally rooted care I provide yet they remain in line with peers offering similar work, even when there may be differences in training, experience, or scope. While my prices may be higher than some doulas, they reflect the depth of care, education, & unique perspective I bring to my practice. In extenuating or special circumstances, I’m open to discussing sliding scale options or payment plans—please don’t hesitate to bring this up in our initial consultation.
I'm deeply committed to reducing the barriers that many marginalized communities face when accessing reproductive health support & sexual health education. My work is grounded in cultural humility & offered in both English & Tamil to better serve the community. Supporting others through this work is not just a calling—it’s a responsibility I hold with care. To sustain the energy, effort, & emotional labour this work requires, my prices also honour the safe, inclusive, & trauma-informed space I strive to provide for every client.
BIPOC/BIPGM bodies have long been & continue to be exploited. My rates reflect fair compensation to prevent further exploitation.

I am a mentor with Laadliyan's Laadli to Laadli Program!
As a child of immigrant parents, I was unsure of what opportunities are out there for me to pursue. For the longest time I believed that I had to be a doctor to help people. However, my long & windy road has brought me exactly where I am supposed to be & I am very grateful for that.
If you share in any aspect of my story, want to bounce ideas off of a human sounding board or chat over a cup of your desired hot beverage, book an appointment here!
My extended family is from Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, India & is settled in Chennai. I was born there, in Washermenpet. My parents were already working in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates & I was brought back there as a baby. I grew up there, going to Our Own English High School & Sharjah English School. In 2009, during the recession, my family immigrated to Canada.
What you don’t see in this snapshot is that I was a third-culture kid, both in the Gulf & Canada. I never fit in & when I did, it was usually with the group of misfits. But there were spaces where I felt like I fit in: church & swimming. I was a competitive swimmer, competing at regional & provincial levels. However, in 2012, I sustained a back injury which marked the beginning of my chronic pain journey. This is important to mention for two reasons. First, living with mental illnesses, complex migraine disorder, & chronic pain allows me to empathize with others who live with chronic conditions, are in pain, or are differently abled. Second, while this injury limited how competitive I can be, it taught me to be my swim mates’ biggest cheerleader. Friends still comment on how loud & rambunctious I can be when I am cheering them on. I kid you not, I have won numerous awards for cheering, spirit, & sportsmanship.
This theme of being a cheerleader continues in my life.
I volunteered at a maternity hospital in Washermenpet in 2013 & even got to attend a birth at Langley Memorial Hospital in 2014 where I cheered birthing people on in various capacities. I coached my high school’s swim team, cheering my swimmers on until I went to university. There, I found my people - nerds, misfits, science enthusiasts, conversationalists, so on & so forth. Being on the student council, I would voice the needs of the student body. At this time, I also began working as a swim instructor & would cheer on my little kiddos! In the midst of all of this, I was informally supporting parents after the birth of their baby, without knowing there was a name for the work I did. Now, I want to empower expecting & new parents. Support them in finding their voice & cheer them on as they begin the marathon of parenthood.
Having been bullied & intentionally excluded, I embrace a “no one left behind” philosophy. This philosophy is what makes me a fierce queer ally & drives my attention to BIPOC/BIPGM communities. Feel free to reach out to me if you think we would be a good fit, especially if you are becoming parents in a “nontraditional” route. I would like to clarify that making sure to include some communities does NOT exclude others. It just means that I would like to represent & care for communities who have been excluded systemically, structurally, & institutionally in the past.
