What if...
you entered childbirth in close relationship with your body, able to lean into your own innate wisdom to birth your baby.
Just imagine you felt the safety and security to surrender to the process of birth.
You are the center of your birth and you feel in control.
YOU COULD FEEL THESE THINGS:
1
the ability to witness and enjoy the magnificent mystery of birth, however the outcome unfolds.
2
the awareness that you have been initiated into something new, a gift of self-expansion.
3
a trust in your own strength and capabilites.
While this experience was once out of question for some, the possibility of reclaiming a sense of personal power during childbirth is now top of mind.
You have found your way here because you are looking to be educated in a way that supports the WHOLE body system.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
- You want to feel prepared for the experience of childbirth itself. Understanding topics like physiology, anatomy, signs of labour, pain management, etc.
- You understand that birth is not just a physical process, but also a mental, emotional, and spiritual one.
- You want to feel supported through this expansive change in your life; the transition from maiden to mother.
- You love opportunities for self-discovery, like journaling, visualization, and meditation.
- Let's face it, there is an edgy truth that you cannot script your birth, but you want to gain skills to face the unknown and navigate it the best you can.
feel empowered!
reclaim your body and relationship to your body.
It is my humble honour to offer you a childbirth education course where science meets spirit.

Having had previous Reiki treatments with her, I knew she'd be the perfect teacher for my prenatal journey. Rachelle strengthen my belief in the mind/body connection, and how powerful it can be during birth. Thank you Rachelle for sharing your incredible gift with us."

"The Prenatal Course with Rachelle was educational and informative and most importantly, it gave me the confidence that I needed going into the unknown of childbirth. Rachelle had a beautiful way of presenting it all to the group, to make us feel seen and comfortable to ask questions and share. She ultimately, with the course and reiki sessions, helped me create a connection with my baby that became very special even before he arrived."

"I began seeing Rachelle virtually, and in person, for reiki when I was in the first trimester of my first pregnancy. From our first meeting, conversation, and session together, she always felt so real. So authentic. So engaged, and in tune with me and my unborn baby. Her messages and reiki energy was unparalleled. Immediately I trusted her completely and was incredibly moved by her energy and completely sensitive, yet powerful demeanor. When she announced her childbirth/prenatal course, I immediately knew that this would be the only course of this kind that I would trust and felt called to take part in. Rachelle's course was impeccably and meticulously planned out week by week covering all things pregnancy, and childbirth. Both the scientific and energetic fields were covered and perfectly intertwined to bring comfort, information, education and facts to us 'students'. My husband and I attended every class together, and were both incredibly impressed by the amount of planning and preparation that was obviously poured into this 5 week, information packed curriculum. I cannot say enough about the knowledge and lessons that my husband and I learned throughout this course. I would 100% recommend taking this class to any expectant parents. You will not be disappointed. "

Your Teacher
Rachelle
Hey there!
I am a mother of three boys (ages 8, 6, and 4), Certified Childbirth Educator, Spirit Baby Communicator, Reiki Master, and Meditation guide. Whether you see the universe as spiritual or scientific, you have to marvel at the vital force that orchestrates the creation of life. It is my deepest passion to support women through the process of conception into motherhood, and to offer opportunity for women to discover the innate wisdom that resides within them.
I had learned that many women on the precipice of birth were not going in armed with the understanding that this is a mental, emotional and physical process. I wanted to show others that their are options, and to empower women to make choice, and to know they have choices. This was the drive behind creating my Conscious Childbirth Education Course.
"First babies are scary and there is so much unknown, but Rachelle was extremely comforting and made me feel safe in my journey. Honouring the mind body connection during childbirth is one of the most important foundations to learn during delivery, and it was something I practiced on a regular basis. Rachelle gave me helpful tools to stay focused and use my breathing during this difficult time. My husband also loved the advice she gave and felt reassured that he could be an important part of this process. I highly recommend her classes for any expectant mother and their partners."
