"I have experienced the beauty that Kalina brings to everything she creates. There is a fore-vision as she seems to see things as they are today and even more valuable, as they will be for future good. Her gentle encouragement has kept me included while I navigate the actions tugging at me.

She is a partner in production, vision, and collaboration with a unique ability to keep light flowing!"

"Kalina Bains has been a true gift to both me and the Global Grandmothers’ Council Network. She has published and stewarded our magazine for over a year with such care, devotion, and integrity — entirely in service. As an editor, she listens deeply, honors the voice of each piece, and brings clarity and beauty to the work. As a human being, she is steady, kind, and profoundly reliable. I am deeply grateful for her commitment to sharing our stories with the world, and I trust her completely. — Mayana Kingery Co-Founder, Peace Production"

Kalina Bains, Has been an inspiration for the Global Grandmothers Council Network. Since joining our core council she has stepped in to be our Editor and Magazine Designer, it's no small thing to be doing both of these roles. She has outstanding talent for design and layout and made each issue stand out with its own theme and meaning.  We are inspired by her gifts and it has opened a door for the women in GGCN to find their own voices and to contribute to what our Magazine is all about - Giving Voice to Wisdom of Elders and Grandmothers Globally. With 12 issues now completed we are excited to see what we will bloom into with her passion and dedication continuing to inspire all of us.  Thank you Kalina for inspiring me and so many others with your creative design and talents.  Highly recommend Kalina for your next project!

"I share insights and ancient wisdom throughout our world, and Kalina’s digital publications of the Global Grandmothers Council Network magazine have featured several of my teachings. I travel to 7 countries across Europe, Iceland, Greenland, and North America, sharing guidance from the ancient ancestors. This far-reaching magazine has enabled me to meet other international wisdom keepers and expand my sharing to women in Central and South America. The quality of her work is without question and looking forward to our continued collaborations."

 Masterful Storyteller and Heart-Led Creator

On behalf of myself, Grandmother Heather, and my mother, Grandmother Flordemayo, we want to extend our deepest gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to Kalina Bains for the extraordinary work she has done through her E-Magazine storytelling and design.

Kalina has beautifully featured Grandmother Flordemayo and her sacred work within the Global Grandmothers' Council Network E-Magazine, and she also produced the stunning Guardians of the Sacred E-Magazine—a powerful and reverent reflection of our global spiritual gathering.

​

Every detail she touches  from layout to language, from tone to imagery, is infused with deep respect, vision, and intention. Her ability to honor Indigenous voices and sacred wisdom through media is rare and truly remarkable.

​

Why We’re So Grateful:

• Her attention to detail is exceptional—she listens deeply and translates stories into elegant, meaningful visuals and copy.

• She brings a level of professionalism and care that immediately builds trust and ease.

• She works with grace, patience, and a grounded presence that honors the people, traditions, and teachings she represents.

Kalina, thank you for sharing your gifts as a storyteller, designer, and media weaver. Your work uplifts our Elders, honors sacred stories, and amplifies the voices of the Earth’s wisdom keepers.

​

With love, light, and deep respect,
Grandmother Heather & Grandmother Flordemayo

"Working with Kalina Bains has been a truly heart-centered experience. Her care for both the written word and the people behind it is evident in everything she creates. The way she presented my work — thoughtfully, beautifully, and with such respect — made me feel deeply seen as a writer. Kalina brings presence, integrity, and soul to her work, and it shows. I highly recommend Kalina Digital Media Studio for her thoughtful editorial support and beautiful presentation of writers’ voices. Here is her presentation of my work in the latest edition of Global Grandmothers’ Magazine."
