About Her Sacred Cradle
Welcome, my name is Renata de Castro! As an Ayurvedic Counsellor, Prenatal Yoga Teacher, Birth & Postpartum Doula - I work with women (at any stage in their lives) to help realign with their bodies’ inner intelligence through these long standing traditional practices, in order to achieve optimal health, and/or desirable labour & birth outcomes.
Can You Relate?
Do you experience hormone imbalances and reproductive health concerns, such as irregular periods, acne, digestive issues, ovarian cysts, infertility, painful intercourse, and more?
Are you pregnant and desire to have a natural vaginal birth, but have fears over an intervention-free labour and delivery?
Do you feel like your maternity care provider has not prepared you enough for the big day, and you are seeking a holistic approach to prepare for labour & birth?
Do you feel the need to energetically nurture your womb space for optimal health, to clear energy blockages, and to let go of feelings of lack and insecurity?

TESTIMONIALS
I recently completed the Birthing From Inside Out course with Renata and it was an absolutely transformative experience. The course combines natural Ayurvedic wisdom with practical insights for pregnancy, which is exactly what I was looking for. I learned so much about what to expect and how to support my body, mind, and spirit through each stage of pregnancy and post-partum. Renata's guidance and support has been invaluable, empowering and made me feel more connected to myself and my baby. This course has given me tools to approach this journey as a first time mom with confidence, calmness, and joy. I highly recommend Renata to any expecting mother looking to embrace a holistic approach to pregnancy!

My experience with Renata was excellent!
In our session, she made me feel comfortable, open and we were in tune with each other's opinions & feelings.
I think she is very knowledgeable and has a real passion for trying to help people understand themselves on a deeper level.

My yoga session with Healing Hints (now known as Her Sacred Cradle) was truly an enjoyable experience! Being someone who is very much a beginner I was nervous at first to attend a Yoga class. However Renata's kind and consistent encouragement helped me feel more confident and relaxed throughout the session! I'm not usually a morning person but after her class I was in a wonderful mood for the rest of the day! I will definitely be back again to improve myself with Healing Hints. I recommend Yoga with Renata for anyone who is looking to challenge themselves to gain more confidence with a teacher who is patient, knowledgeable and very friendly!

Having no previous experience in doing yoga, I’ve always felt intimidated about this activity. I showed up to a session feeling nervous and excited at the same time because I didn’t know what to expect. I wasn’t sure I’ll be able to follow, but I just really wanted to give it a try. I am not a very flexible person but this session made me realize you don’t have to be a pro to enjoy yoga .The instructor made me feel comfortable from start to finish, and most importantly helped me gain a sense of serenity. The entire session helped me connect with my inner self in a calm and peaceful manner through proper breathing and other techniques I didn’t know about before. If you’re looking to have a fun yet relaxing weekend activity to date yourself, I highly recommend attending yoga flow with Renata.
