.a bit about me.

Hi, I’m Rachel, I also go by Rae. I am a trained and Certified Holistic Doula. Since 2017, I have attended over 60 births, and supported postpartum clients in their initiation into parenthood. I absolutely LOVE this work. 

I have a background in Ayurvedic Health, a degree in Medical Anthropology, experience with nonviolent communication training (NVC), and foundations in bodywork. These modalities add rich flavors to my perspective on life and insight into my support of you attaining balance in today’s full world. I weave these perspectives into my offering as a Doula with exquisite care. 

~ A bit about my perspective on birth ~

I believe and know that birth acts as an initiative process into parenthood. Just as in any heroic journey, having support along the way is essential for creating strong family bonds and guiding the initiation. I am here to walk beside you, hold your hand, and help you realize the immense reserve of potential within. I am here to help you navigate your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum time from your most empowered space.
There are many decisions to navigate in today’s birth world, and knowledge is empowering for making choices that best support your truest needs and desires. 

I am here to help people get clear on their birth goals, enter into birth from a place of empowered embodiment, and transition smoothly into parenting. 

I support the sacred relationship formed between a couple.  I deeply believe in the power of the couple coming together for parenting. I work passionately to create a strong container for the couple to deepen in support and trust as they enter parenting together. 

I also honour people birthing alone, and those on unique parenting journeys. I see you. I support you. I desire your thriving. 

I believe in the power of support and care. For all things thrive with tender love and care. 

Empathy acts as a personal super power, and I trust my intuitive nature. I have learned to hone my emotional intelligence to tailor support in ways that nourish your inner longings, and uplift your thriving. 

With a long history of living communally, I know child raising requires immense support. What used to come from our village now comes from different networks. I offer one thread of that support, and a wealth of resources to further support and direct your unique needs. 

Nourished by gardens, farms, and ample time in nature, my presence is grounded and calm. 

I so look forward to walking with you on this journey. 

From a Deep Well of LOVE, 
Rachel
