Heirloom-quality birth stools, perineal steam seats and womb supports handcrafted in Canada
Hi, my name is Destini, and I’m a professional cabinet and furniture maker.
I handcraft every woodcraft item here, and bring elegance to the touch with extensive finishing methods. All pieces feel like the silkiest wood you’ll put your skin upon. I’m part of the slow furniture movement, crafting with intent, producing zero wood waste, solely using non-toxic professional grade finishes in my studio, while integrating the wisdom of my ancestors in all that I do.
In addition to my Cabinetmaking diploma and Fine Arts degree, I apprentice with a master craftsman of 40+ years to ensure my products receive all the right attention to details and can be used for generations. I personally guarantee the craftwomanship of each piece for your lifetime use.
I’m passionate about supporting holistic approaches to pelvic wellness as a whole, and the direct birthing experiences themselves. I’ve experienced firsthand the transformative effects of what taking my health into my hands has opened up within my body and within my life, and delight in supporting others as they walk this path of sovereignty. Thank you for perusing my offerings and supporting small businesses who are making differences everywhere.
Crafting with intent.
Nature is our guide.
It’s in the details.
These are the things that get us dancing in the studio - conscientious lumber selection, ethical production, meticulous care and uncompromising quality. Often a series of seats will come from a single tree, as we hand-select lumber directly from small-scale sawyers, looking for unique colours and markings not easily found in commercial grade lumber. We use traditional methods where we can to weld, forge and modify tools and supports we’ll need. We fastidiously sand our seats, paying special attention to the finger grooves so that they feel silky smooth to the touch when used during the final stages of birthing to bear down. In-house lasering provides option for clients to add in their own logo at no extra cost. Did I mention that we also hand-stamp seats? We do, using bespoke metal stamps to match holes to legs for clients, and match leg to seats when there are multiples.
Our Approach
We strive to ensure that all aspects, from tree roots to finished seats, uphold eco-conscious awareness. Our seats are finished with a 3 layered oil + wax finish using Odie’s products. These are all food-safe, non-toxic, natural blends made in the USA. This ensures our health as makers, and a long-term, sustainable re-application process for future care.
Non-Toxic Finishes
95% of commercial lumber is dried in kilns designed to speed up the process using chemicals, along with dyes that are added to create uniform colours. Like birth, we believe that trusting in the natural stages will allow for the most remarkable outcomes. Our lumber comes from single-cut trees that are professionally air-dried by people we know. As such, the wood we use is free of chemicals, dyes and filled with unique natural grains and markings.
Sustainable Forestry Practices
We are the real deal - professional furniture makers crafting with hands, hearts and great attention to the details for these high-quality womb supports. You can feel the silk-like sensual finish of our seats at first touch. Our products are heirloom quality and will last beyond this lifetime, continuing to nurture, support and guide with reverence for future generations to come. Conscientious and meticulous is our way.
