Holistic, Natural, and Radical Support From Fertility to Postpartum
Every stage of your motherhood journey deserves support that is tailored to you and leaves you feeling confident and informed. I combine Clinical Herbalism with holistic care, and radical guidance to make sure you have what you need to feel nourished and cared for. Let’s work together!
Fertility & Preconception Support
Supporting your fertility through deeper understanding of your cycle, custom and sustainable clinical herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle protocol, cycle tracking and education, and coaching helping you prepare your body and life for pregnancy before moving to invasive fertility treatments.Labour & Birth Doula Services
Supporting you through pregnancy as you prepare for a natural supported birth through thoughtful conversations, education, and practical and herbal support, so you can make confident decisions about your body, and your birth, wherever it unfolds!Postpartum & Recovery Support
Gentle, hands-on support in the early weeks as you recover, nourish your body and find your rhythm with your baby. Supportive care for you and baby including breastfeeding assessment and troubleshooting, herbal remedies for healing and milk production, and nourishing meal prep that helps you feel confident and cared for as a new (or new again!) mom.Join the Radical Mom Social Club
A seasonal mom + baby group, but totally focused on YOU! The village doesn’t exist unless we build it, which is exactly why I created this gathering in the rolling hills of Northumberland County on Foragers Farms.
Energy Healing & Spirit Baby Guidance
Because the path to motherhood isn’t only physical, it can be deeply emotional and spiritual as well. In-person energy healing sessions. Spirit Baby Guidance virtually for intuitive connection and insight.
Meet Your Doula
I’m Nessa Hayes
Birth Keeper, Clinical Herbalist, Energy Worker and Intuitive.
I began this work because I witnessed how many women were navigating pregnancy and birth without support, knowledge, or village they truly deserved. Over time, so much of the wisdom around birth, postpartum care and women supporting women has been lost.
My role is to help bring that support back!
Many of my families I work with are looking for something different, a deeper level of preparation, thoughtful conversations, and care that respects both physical and emotional sides of this journey.
Why Go Radical?
Radical doesn’t mean extreme.
Radical means returning to the root.
It means remembering that your body is not a problem to fix. It means working with nature, not constantly overriding it. It means learning your options so you can make decisions that truly feel right for you.
Much of the modern birth system asks women to hand over authority.
My work is about helping you reclaim:
• your body
• your instincts
• your choices
• your story — shaped with intention
That is radical care.
Join the Club, Sister!
Weekly gatherings for women who are tired of doing motherhood alone. You don’t have to survive on iced coffee and instagram influencers. Step into genuine community with real connection, honest conversation, and a village that actually shows up!

Energy Healing
A space to soften, release, and return to yourself.
Your body knows when it’s carrying too much.
Energy healing gives that overwhelm somewhere to go, out of your tissues, out of your field, and off your shoulders.
It’s grounding, emotional release, deep rest, and energetic recalibration so you can feel like you again.
Treatments take place in Peterborough, ON.
Radical Events
I offer events that bring together community, education and in-person experiences. From the Radical Mother Social Club to Radical Remedies. We intentionally invite honest, critical thinking and meaningful connection so that you can explore your options, learn something new, and connect with your inner knowing.
Preparing for birth isn’t just about checklists or hospital bags — it’s about how you feel, how your body responds, and how you connect with your baby. Beginning Well: A Guided Visualization for Birth Preparation is designed to help pregnant parents and birth partners step into labor with confidence, calm, and clarity.
In this guided session, you’ll explore practical tools to reduce anxiety, strengthen your nervous system, and mentally rehearse your birth experience. We focus on visualization techniques that support your body, mind, and emotional readiness — backed by doula and birth keeper expertise.
Participants leave with a deeper understanding of how to manage stress, access their body’s natural resources during labor, and communicate clearly with their birth team. Whether you’re preparing for a hospital or home birth, this session provides evidence-informed guidance, nervous system support, and an empowering space to ask questions and set intentions for your birth.
Join us to learn:
How guided visualization can reduce birth anxiety
Practical ways to prepare your mind and body for labor
Techniques to stay calm, centered, and confident during birth
How doula support helps you make informed birth decisions
This session is perfect for anyone who wants emotional, mental, and nervous system preparation — not just logistics. Walk into labor feeling prepared, grounded, and supported.
