Brenda MacIntyre, Medicine Song Woman

Brenda MacIntyre, also known by her Indigenous name Medicine Song Woman, has Cree and Ojibwe ancestry with Red River roots through her father, and settler ancestry through both parents. Adopted at birth in Calgary and never told she was Indigenous, Brenda is on a journey of reconnecting with her Indigenous family and learning her languages and culture. Based in London Ontario, she is a personal mentor, keynote speaker and award-winning singer. Over 15 years ago, after losing her adoptive parents, Brenda developed her Sing Yourself Alive Program and Medicine Song Healing Technique. After her son was murdered in 2016, she created 13 songs for grief. In 2020, based on those songs, she birthed her signature Picking Up the Pieces 13 Moon Program. Through her body of work, goosebump-giving voice and hand drumming, Brenda helps covid-conscious women to grieve, heal and reclaim their identity and sense of belonging.
