Lovely Human
It's SO nice to meet you, I'm thrilled you're here.
I believe: we all deserve treat culture, coffee is a necessity, animals are magic, life is sacred, and body movement, especially weightlifting and yoga, is medicine. I also really love comfort (no really, all comfort items), slow mornings, easeful weekends, and nurturing relationships.
As a helper and healer, I'm also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), a Reiki Master Teacher, a registered yoga teacher, a body worker, a therapist and therapist supervisor, a birth doula, a passionate advocate of human rights, and above all a human. I also consider myself to be an intuitive healer. I've spent most of my career in community agencies, supporting those folks in our community who don't have access. I was incredibly lucky to fall into some of the best trainings when I was in my early 20s, and have since continued to foster healing, community connections, and humans coming home to themselves, more wholly. Mostly I've learned that above all, I deeply believe humans have the beautiful capacity to heal themselves, when given the right love and support.
Hello There
About Rachel
I deeply believe humans have the beautiful innate capacity to heal themselves, especially when we are given the right support.
About Rachel
Meeting ourselves deeply means
we'll go through some of the
deepest, darkest places of our humanity together. We'll grieve, witness our deepest fears, cry, hold sacred rage, and experience the parts of ourselves longing to be met. It also means we'll learn how to take in and experience the sweetest, best parts of
life. We'll learn how to allow ourselves to access the good and then we'll learn how to take it all in; the joy, belly laughs, silliness, play, delight and connection. We'll hold these all of pieces as parts of the greater whole of ourselves.
Whether you're looking for support as you bring a human in the world, need guidance with a relationship, aren't sure what to do next with your life, or just need another human to walk along side you with tender loving support, I am honored you're considering working together. It is no small task to help a human return home to themselves (or make a home within themselves) and it is one of the most beautiful parts of being a human I have been able to witness.
You deserve to find your
you-ness.
