Michelle Stroud

Holistic Reproductive Practitioner Trainer

Michelle Stroud is a Holistic Reproductive Practitioner, educator, and founder of By the Moon, a Canadian-based holistic health school offering internationally recognized certification programs in reflexology, Reiki, and doula training. With over 20 years of experience in natural healing and reproductive support, Michelle has trained hundreds of students across North America in a deeply integrative approach to fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care.
Her signature program, the Holistic Reproductive Practitioner training, weaves together science and spirituality—offering a comprehensive curriculum in full-spectrum doula care, foot and hand reflexology, Reiki, and energy healing. Michelle is known for creating a warm and grounded learning environment where students are supported not only in mastering practical skills, but in their personal growth, spiritual alignment, and business development.
A dedicated advocate for informed consent, body literacy, and the sacred nature of birth, Michelle draws from her extensive experience as a birth and loss doula, reflexologist, Reiki Master Teacher, and hypnosis practitioner. She has supported clients through infertility, birth trauma, loss, and major life transitions with compassion and clarity.
Michelle continues to expand her work through mentorship, writing, and collaborative projects. She believes that holistic practitioners are not just service providers—but leaders in a cultural shift toward empowerment, healing, and deeper connection.
