Hi, I’m Rachel!
Somatic Breathwork Facilitator, Herbalist, Birth Doula, Mother, Wife, & Business Owner
I’m not someone that has followed the typical roadmap of life.
I’ve gone off-trail many, many times.
Sometimes the trail has led me to beautiful sights I would have never seen had I stayed on the path, other times I’ve fallen through a sinkhole and came out looking like I journeyed to the underworld and back.
And I wouldn’t change a single thing about either of these experiences.
I’m dedicated to fully living my purpose and enjoying my life along the way.
I’ve changed my life again and again as
I’ve gotten to know myself on a deeper level.
Years ago, I had the kind of transformation that sticks with you for life.
For the first time in my life, in 2017, I was starting to shift away from escapism and starting to explore what life meant to me, my purpose here, and what my inner territory was really like - which was an over-protected heart, suppressed emotions, and always looking for outward validation.
That same year, while experimenting with different healing modalities, I had my first somatic healing experience right in my bedroom using breathwork. Childhood wounds from years ago surfaced and released. Feelings I had about myself began to soften. And I felt an energetic opening of my heart.
That feeling of being in an altered state, the full-body vibrations from the breathe, accessing those stagnant and stuck energies, and literally changing how I felt and how I thought… with just my breathe?
I was mind blown.
I learned first hand that I couldn’t bypass my feelings so they’d eventually go away.
I couldn’t party my way through them, smoke my way through them, joke my way through them, keep myself busy through them…
They were still in there. Taking up space and energy in my body until I was in this safe space through the breathe to feel them and let them go.
And when I got a taste of who I really was under all that masking and self-protection, I realized how many things in my life were only there because they made other people around me proud of me or “love” me - but I started to discover through breathwork that those same things didn’t actually make me happy.
By discovering what it really was that I wanted, I became uninterested in making decisions based on how my parents, grandparents, friends, or society would feel about them. I started making decisions by checking in with my body and my energy instead.
Although life was okay before, it wasn’t fulfilling.
And I was not about to live my life for okay.
Once I started to come back to myself again and again, It was like I broke through a dense fog and could see everything so clearly.
I trust myself now to take unconventional approaches to everything in my life which has created an unconventional life that I deeply love.
My intuition is my greatest tool and it’s been strengthened through my breathwork practice and my initiation into motherhood.
By 2018, I had left my entire life behind and started from scratch.
I was rooted in love for my self and motivated to explore a career-field that felt true to who I was at my core. Everything that was not in alignment with that had to fall away - jobs, friendships, negative beliefs I held about myself, and fear about the unknown.
And if I wouldn’t have taken that leap of faith on myself, even when people told me I wasn’t doing the right thing, I would never have the life I do now.
I am now re-married into a conscious partnership with beautiful children and support from so many in my community and my family. My business is constantly shifting as I shift myself and gives me a deep sense of fulfillment.
From my future self to my past self: THANK YOU.
I am deeply motivated to help other women who were in the same position I was all those years ago - longing for more meaning and fulfillment.
I believe our world would be a more beautiful place if more women had the support and energetic capacity to live their lives from the creative feminine energy innate to us.
There is no person, religion, guru, doctor, or any other outside source that knows what’s better for you than you. Your intuitive hits are cobblestones on the path to your truest and most authentic nature.
It is not selfish or immature to want more for yourself. That nagging feeling that there’s more to life than going through the motions and just trying to make it through - that’s your spirit calling.
Are you ready to listen?
