My name is Saran, and I’m here to help you transform your life using a range of natural therapies including holistic nutrition, herbs and energy medicine to support healing emotions, mind and spirit.

If you have found this page, you are likely already interested in holistic healing. You’ve got a collection of the best tips on a variety of healing modalities but can’t quite figure out how to put it all together. There is something missing, that “Major Key” needed to stay on track. I’m here to help you reconnect to your magic and catalyze your innate healing abilities.

Wellness By Saran is a full-service Holistic Wellness Education platform dedicated to Menstrual Health and a decolonized approach to well-being. I help Menstruating people achieve optimal hormone and reproductive health, reduce stress, and live according to their natural rhythms and cycles. Through diet, lifestyle changes and personal alchemy tools, we work together to identifying the root cause of chronic illness, helping the body, mind and soul return to balance. I'm also a Cultural Curator and Educator, creating safe learning spaces for Black Youth at the intersection of wellness, art and culture.

My name means Joy, and I love to support people just like you on their journey to Joyful living.

I'm an island woman, living in Canada with my family and extremely passionate about living life in symbiosis with the planet.

When I moved to Canada from Jamaica for University, I had no idea that this move would be my life's defining moment. Those first few years were tough. I spent years trying to adjust to and accept the changing seasons, often resisting the call to shift my diet and care for my body, mental and emotional health.

Like so many of you, I dreaded my cycle. I always had painful, heavy periods in my teens and had totally normalized this as an adult. It wasn't until I had my own children that I was faced with the reality of why it was so crucial that I take better care of myself. Living a holistic lifestyle is what we've chosen to normalize.

I completed studies in Holistic Nutrition and spent countless hours studying herbalism from incredible Herbalists but always returned to the wise ones in my family in the Caribbean. Their intuitive wisdom and natural alignment with the land have inspired much of the work that I do. I blend the art and science of better living, integrating a variety of healing therapies that not only reconnects us to the planet but our own internal rhythms.

I'm so happy you're ready to take the next steps to reclaim your Joy and your magic!
