Jacqueline Thiessen is a former midwife, doula, holistic facialist, and mother whose path has been anything but conventional. Raised on ranches across B.C., Alberta, and Saskatchewan, and later training and raising horses in the Prairies, her early life was steeped in connection to the land, animals, and birth in its most primal form. She started her own horse training business as a teenager but soon felt a deeper calling.

Her journey led her from Las Vegas to the Hopi Reservation, to Afghanistan, and eventually to midwifery school. She trained at a U.S.-based program, spending two years immersed in birth work at a charity birth center in the Philippines, and later served as a midwife for four years in the remote islands of Micronesia. After returning to Canada and completing the Midwifery Bridging Program, she practiced in Ontario until 2022, when she chose to step away from the system to honor her values around bodily autonomy. Shortly after, she gave birth to her son—a moment that felt like a sacred gift from that decision.

Now living on a small homestead with her husband, son, and animals, Jacqueline weaves her love of ancestral wisdom, holistic skincare, and hands-on healing into everything she does. Through her work as a doula and her emerging platform The Primal Birth Haven, she advocates for physiological, undisturbed birth and supports women in reconnecting with the primal intelligence of their bodies.

I hope you enjoyed the powerful, beautiful weaving of story medicine, experiences, life and death that Jacqueline has shared in this scared space. If you feel called to connect with Jacqueline her email address is below.

Guest Tanya Colaceno

"I’m a mother of three beautiful children, and my journey into healing, empowerment, and self-discovery truly began through birth. While my path started nearly ten years ago, it was the last six years that transformed everything for me.

My first daughter was born in a hospital setting that left me deeply traumatized. What was labeled “normal” care was anything but compassionate, and I spent the first six years of her life living in fear, disconnected from my body and my power. When I became pregnant with my second daughter, I was still following the rules, doing what I was told without questioning—even when I was labeled high-risk simply because my first baby came early.

Something shifted late in that pregnancy. A quiet but powerful voice inside told me I couldn’t keep giving my power away. That was the true beginning of my journey back to myself.

It was during my third pregnancy that everything changed. I chose to birth outside of the hospital with a traditional birth attendant, and my son’s arrival showed me just how strong and capable I truly am. During that time, I also did deep healing work around womb and body trauma with the support of a beautiful, wise woman. I began to understand the sacredness of honoring ourselves—before, during, and after birth.

This unfolding has opened doors not just for my own healing, but for my children and our entire family. Now, I offer Closing of the Bones ceremonies—a deeply nurturing and sacred practice—to hold space for others on their own healing journey. It is my honour to support women in remembering their strength, reconnecting with their bodies, and being lovingly witnessed as they return home to themselves."

One of my favourite quotes

“When a woman is shown her power, the world is forever changed.”
