Kindred Health Collective - Porters Lake, Nova Scotia

Jany H.

We're lucky to have a place like Kindred in our community. I joined a pop-up yoga class on a whim, and soon found myself drawn back to this space for prenatal classes, massages, acupuncture, and many more yoga classes.

Little did I know, Maria would also be the doula supporting my family through the birth of our second baby. While preparing for the birth with her, I found myself feeling more connected to my mind and body than ever. I went into this knowing very well that things don't always go according to plan, but once I told Maria I wanted a water birth, she jumped at the opportunity to do some research and to make damn sure it happened if the circumstances were right. And it did. Her familiarity with massage therapy and the human body were invaluable through the contractions, my husband felt confident in his ability to support me, and not once did I feel anything but safe and empowered.

I highly recommend checking out Kindred Health, whether it's for a one-off or if you're looking for a space where you can intentionally dedicate yourself to your wellbeing.

Maria's approach to providing yoga guidance is thoughtful and she cultivates a community-centered space for participants to feel at ease. The space itself is beautiful and unique. I have experienced yoga in a variety of spaces and with different yogis, and I have never felt as supported as I have taking a class with Maria.

Maria is on the best massages I have had. With the addition of Reiki she seems to tune right in. Always checking in, making sure everything is ok. PLUS she doesn't mind that my little Shihtzu service dog sits through the appt.

Highly recommend Maria and Kindred Health Collective for massage, yoga and wellness needs. This space is warm, welcoming and smells divine with essential oils - exactly the vibe one wants when looking to relax. Maria is knowledgeable and passionate. I suffer from TMJ disorder, sciatic pain and I’ve had 2 c-sections quite recently. Maria takes the time to listen and understand my issues to tailor my wellness plan to me. If you live in or around the Porters Lake area, treat yourself to a visit to Kindred!

Visited this amazing space lastnight for the first time and was immersed into the most relaxing and rejuvenating experience ever. Maria is so knowledgeable and has the most calming energy, 10/10 massage.
