Angela Castrigno

Born and raised in New Hampshire. When I’m not cooking or coaching, I’m doing yoga, playing piano, adventuring with my partner, and/or eating delicious food.

I struggled with food for a long time when I was younger. Malnutrition, food sensitivities, body image issues… it took me a long time to make the connection between what I ate and how I felt. But when I did… magic happened.

Meal planning completely changed the game for me. I’ve spent the last decade+ experimenting and trying new strategies to make eating healthy easy and sustainable. In 2014, I became a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and my business has been evolving ever since. Today, I’m a full time personal meal prep chef and meal planning coach.

Because witnessing someone overcome their eating and/or cooking challenges and transform into someone who doesn’t stress about eating healthy every day is what I live for.

Doula Darcy

Hi. I’m The Doula Darcy. 

I’m a postpartum doula, lactation counselor and doula agency owner.  I’ve helped hundreds of new moms navigate the first twelve weeks at home with a baby since 2010.

Before that, I spent 10 years working in advertising agencies and marketing companies learning everything there is to know about marketing and promoting a business.  

After having 3 babies in 4 years, I took my doula training and was able to replace my corporate income quicker than most new doulas do because of my previous career experience in marketing & advertising.

I was able to build a thriving postpartum doula business in a small town in New Hampshire because of my experience and expertise.

Now, I’ve turned that into a postpartum doula agency and I spend all my time helping other doulas create business that light them up instead of burning them out.

Let me help YOU help more moms!

Dr. Lisa Parsons

Dr Parsons considers Guilford CT the hometown of her youth. When she went to Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs NY, her family moved to Maine.  She pursued her osteopathic medical degree at the University of New England in Biddeford Maine and graduated from Maine Medical Center after completing her obstetrics and gynecology residency in 2005.

That of combining traditional medicine with holistic options such as sound healing, intuition, energetics, and osteopathic principles. It should be BOTH. It has been heartfelt, and powerful!

I’ve been a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor since 2015. My journey started in 2007 when I started to work for an Acupuncture clinic, I discovered a hidden world of answers to the very problems I had. After months of seeing conventional doctors for my conditions, with no success , the work done at the clinic was the only treatment that gave me relief and actively healed the problem. Every day, I strive to both educate and guide my patients to gain the control and vigor they need to achieve the same greatness.

Dr. Ryan Bailey

My career as a PT began directly in women’s health. I helped teens to women in their eighties stop peeing their pants, eliminate pelvic pain (including painful sex and pain associated with endometriosis), build strength after birth & heal diastasis recti, and SO much more. I absorbed, I honed, I experimented with what I learned to find techniques and strategies that worked more efficiently for my patients. And even though I focused on the physical aspect of women’s health, I could see how lifestyle and diet were a component of how my patients responded. I continue to bring this same desire to learn and grow to my patients today, using my skills as a highly trained pelvic health specialist to treat you as a whole person.

Jodi Thomas

My immersion in the jungles and oceans of Costa Rica for eleven years infused my being with Gaia’s nurturing & erotic energy.  To compliment that wild spirit, I've studied Environmental Governance (Msc), Yoga at Kripalu (YTT), Body-Mind Centering® (soon to become a BMC® Somatic Movement Educator), Stillness Touch (with Charles Ridley), Himalayan & Kashmiri Tantra, Somatic Sex Education, Shadow Alchemy (4 month intensive academy), Biodecoding®, Bach Flower Remedies, organic gardening, Thai Yoga Massage (at Lotus Palm in Montreal), Reiki and Contact Improvisation. 

I've chosen the third path...I find bliss not in dissolving into spirit nor purely hedonistic pursuits, but rather in being fully present in my body as consciousness. Building the capacity to be with the dynamic tension that emerges when engaging in the dance between Spirit and Matter has been and will continue to be a life-long experiment.

I am devoted to helping women and mothers awaken to their inner healing potential, embodied wisdom and true power to inspire radical personal and cultural evolution. I have many roles, as we all do, yet ultimately I am a woman and mother walking the Earth during these perilous times with a fire in my belly and a deep well of hope for the future.

Through embodied education and sovereign womb-centric health care, I hope to deconstruct cultural narratives that are hurting women and families (and all of us). I am not interested in maintaining the status quo or participating in health care narratives that tell women they are broken, infertile, or otherwise not enough.

Leah Shirton

Through years of struggling with pelvic pain and Endometriosis, it was often proven to me that most fitness and exercise would only trigger my pain and symptoms. I was skeptical of giving yoga a try, but in 2012 while living in Key West, Florida, I decided to make an attempt. During my time on my mat, I witnessed my body prove to me, pose after pose, what it was capable of. I knew I had to make yoga a part of my life and share it with others, especially women like me dealing with chronic pain. Fast forward to May 2020; I graduated my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program, and started teaching regularly in studios and virtually. Since then, I have increased my training and become a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher certified in Trauma-Informed Yoga + Yoga for Women's Health. I love teaching the value of this practice not only for a strong mind/body connection and deeper body awareness, but as a therapeutic modality to ease the symptoms and pain of pelvic health issues.

Susan Salenger

Susan Salenger is the author and researcher behind SIDELINED: How Women Can Navigate A Broken Healthcare System. Sidelined examines the many ways in which some women manage and sometimes mismanage their healthcare. (Released, April 2022)



Susan explores how women, typically the medical gatekeepers for their families, tend to be extremely conscientious about taking care of themselves, yet at the same time inadvertently undermine their own care. They often hesitate to call the doctor when they don’t feel well and worry that their doctor visit will take time away from their families or work. They may hesitate to ask doctors the necessary questions and don’t always comply with the doctor’s instructions. Salenger’s research reveals how conflicted many women are about the medical decisions they ultimately make.
