Hi, I’m Lana (she/her).

I’m a counsellor with over 22 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s most complex challenges

Alongside my professional background in child welfare, trauma, and mental health, I’ve completed formal training in infertility, grief, and loss. My own journey through infertility, loss, and adoption has further shaped a deep passion for reproductive counselling.
