End of Life Doula - Care Consultant

Reiki Practitioner

As a retired X-Ray and Ultrasound Technologist, I've had the opportunity to work across diverse healthcare environments, including private clinics, correctional facilities, and leading a medical imaging department for the Canadian Armed Forces.

Throughout my career, maintaining a healthy work-life balance felt nearly impossible. Like many, I pushed through the stress and ignored the growing toll it took on my body and mind, until it became too much to overlook. The realization led me to reevaluate my approach to self-care, which, at the time, was virtually nonexistent.

In 2005, I began a personal practice of Meditation and Yoga Asana, which gradually brought a sense of calm to my chaos. The shift I experienced was so profound that I felt called to share these practices with others.

In 2009, I completed my first teacher training as a Yoga Exercise Specialist and I've never looked back.

Since then, I've continued to learn and grow under the guidance of respected leaders in the field:

Mandy Trapp - LifeStyle Meditation (Meditation Teacher Training 225hrs)
Brea Johnson & Kat Boehm - Heart & Bones Yoga Teacher Training (300hrs)
Dianne Bondy & Amber Kernes - Yoga For All Teacher Training
Adrianne Vangool - Chair Yoga Teacher Training
Lauren O'Hayon - RYC Workshops
Kim Wilkinson - Empowered Life (Reiki Practitioner Level 1 & 2)
Suzanne O'Brien - DoulaGivers End of Life Training (Level 3)

This journey has shown me that healing is possible at any stage of life. I believe we are all capable of creating healthier, more mindful lifestyles, and I'm honoured to support others as they begin (or continue) their own path towards balance and well-being.

Don Ferguson CD

Certified Meditation Teacher

Meditation became a part of my life in 2010, during a time when I was seeking alternative ways to manage PTSD without relying on medications. On a recommendation, I attended my first Vipassana Retreat, and the impact was immediate, bringing clarity, calm, and a sense of well being I hadn't felt in years.

Experiencing the profound benefits of meditation firsthand inspired me to share this powerful practice with others. To deepen my understanding and ability to guide others, I completed my Meditation Teacher Training through LifeStyle Meditation. It is now my mission to help others discover how meditation can support their own healing and transformation.
