Meet Rachele
Hello, my name is Rachele (sounds like Rachel).
My calling to serve families through birth work began like many other doulas- through the birth of my own children. The monumental experiences of each of them granted me acute awareness of the sheer power women possess to bring their children into this world with dignity intact. Inspired by my own doula and a passionate desire to help women achieve their own healing births, I began consciously creating a sisterhood of women who hold similar birth and family values in 2021. By the end of the year, I'd made the choice for internship over certification and joined Jen at Sacred Space Birth Services. I spent the following year attending a wide array of births, including home, birth center, and hospital births with varying circumstances and opportunities to learn with each attendance. I also trained in the art of placenta keepsakes and encapsulation. As an intern I was provided with opportunities to truly watch and learn from a like-minded doula, to witness firsthand the sacredness of the birthing space, and how to come alongside of families to offer wholistic support so that they may achieve the most fulfilling birth experience possible. The gracious mothers and families that allowed me the chance to grow my knowledge through experience, combined with the not so common choice to intern, have left me with a well-rounded skill set and unique upper hand as I began work within my own practice.
Driven by the innate ability of the body, I fully believe in your ability to birth your baby your desired way. I believe in birth restoration as a birthright and I've committed myself to empowering women to achieve this dream by providing a safe space to assess your mind, body, and spiritual well-being. Preparing you to confidently arrive at your birthing time with the peace, clarity and knowledge to turn your dreams into reality. Reclamation belongs to you, sister!
Beginning in January of the same year, I began attending a 100-hour, yearlong course specializing in craniosacral therapy and myofascial unwinding. Taught by Dr. Carol Phillips, I am fully trained in the Dynamic Body Balancing healing modality. I began seeing patients after completing the main training course in January 2022 and have been blessed to provide CST to pregnant women and people of all ages.
Having graduated from my internship and craniosacral therapy certification in December 2022, I'm thrilled to announce that I've partnered with Jen at Sacred Space Birth Services and Stephany from The Village Doula to offer my birth doula services to families in Minnesota!
