Birth Your Village

Modern Village — inter-generational spaces that remind us that we need each other, in a world that tells us to be independent.

Hi, I’m Candace Sauvé (Kiki)

My work in the world changed with the loss of my first pregnancy.

It was a miracle I got pregnant in the first place, since I had post-menopausal AMH levels (0.003). I thought I might never become a parent. Then, a miracle happened. Meet my daughter Ember - born in 2024.

Through all the twists & turns, what became unmistakably clear was this:
Parents need more than therapy to thrive.
We need ceremony, community, and connection.
We need attachment repair.
We need nervous system support.
We need a modern village.
But we have to build it.

After giving birth, my community showed up big time and I knew I had built a version of modern village that worked.

Bringing a baby into the world lit a fire within me to create spaces where children are welcome in any room, and tears are heard without trying to fix or change them (nod to Aware Parenting).

Over the last decade, the somatic coaching modalities my husband and I got certified in together became the backbone of our family’s entire life.

Every moment became an opportunity to practice each modality as “a way of being” rather than just a tool.

Some of those certifications include:

  • Adult Attachment Repair Model (AARM)

  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

  • Emotional Resolution (EmRes)

  • Yin Pranayama Breathwork

Now, as a full-time mother, a Neuro-Somatic Coach, and a former Sleepawake Facilitator, I’ve made it my mission to create offerings that fill the gap between independence culture & having a village that fits a modern family.

Modern life tells us to “figure it out.”

Our biology says we were never meant to parent alone.

We’re in this together

Our children are the next generation to change humanity.

The way you attune to your child, heal your own patterns, and build community becomes the world they grow into.

You are not just raising a human — you are shaping the future your lineage will inherit.

Let’s build a modern village that restores what culture has forgotten:
that children thrive in connection,
that parents need each other,
and that remembering how to “rebuild village culture” is a lifelong learning.

When we honor the sacred in everyday life, we remember what our ancestors always knew — that raising humans is communal, meaningful, and deeply relational. We were never meant to do it alone.
