ABOUT Omisimáw Wellness
Omisimâw Wellness (Ohm sim ow, Cree meaning oldest daughter/sister) is curated out of generations of tradition, knowledge and reciprocity. Traditional Wellness is central to the healing of Indigenous peoples in our community and abroad to improve our mental, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing. Reclaiming ancestral knowledge and way of life is the main focus for Omisimâw Wellness in both her Herbal practice and through Indigenous Birthwork.
Our Wellness products are curated with the vision to connect people to the land by incorporating local plants and botanicals and aromatherapy. All local botanicals are harvested with reciprocity, respect and permission from them and the lands.
Sheena is a co-founder of Ihkapaskwa Indigenous Wellness Collective. Is a member of the Alberta Herbalists Association and sits on several committees within the region related to Indigenous land stewardship and Birthwork. Sheena volunteers by creating several medicinal gardens throughout nistawâyâw, as well as teaching about reciprocity and respect for harvesting medicinal plants. She also teaches about healing trauma through plant connection. Sheena gives back products and medicines to local Elders and families whose traditional lands she harvests on, as a way to give back and offer accessibility of plant medicines to our Elders.
We live in our medicine cabinet, its called the Northern boreal forest
