About Me
“I have learned so much about the body just by observing someone in their labour flow state intuitively. Allowing someone to feel safe so they can go to that more intuitive, limbic part of the brain - it just works. And so my goal is to support that, ultimately, that’s number one, and then from there it’s all about balance and space. ”
Hi, I’m Rachael, or you can just call me Rach!
All of the pathways lead me here, to becoming a Doula. Corny I know, but I truly believe my purpose is to serve others and this is just one piece of my puzzle that I’m slowly putting together. I have always had an interest in Womens health and being of service to people, so I'm not surprised I'm in the doula field.
My dream is to provide a service where I can create safe spaces of beauty to share bodywork and ritual for those of you on your journey through motherhood. To encourage and educate women to take back their power, control, and voice. To invite you to utterly surrender and unfold as you dive into unknown depths of initiation while being held, supported, and nourished. Where I can be your confidante, your coach, and your cheerleader.
Together on this journey, we will learn things, plan things, and prepare things so you’re ready for the unexpected. My job as your doula isn’t to tell you or show you how to give birth but to help you find YOUR own way to give birth. Let’s talk about your previous experiences, go through your wants, and needs, get you to feel comfortable surrendering where you need to, so you can embrace the process and enjoy feelings of calm, serenity, and freedom.
It's going to be beautiful, fun, emotional and at times a little scary, but its ok, because I’ll be behind you for support, next to you for company and ahead of you to pull you through.
