Hey, I’m Rachel! Your friendly neighborhood birth worker.
I like spring hikes, raw milk, wildflowers, everyday life outside, sipping herbs, chickens, handmade art, my family, and reading ingredient labels on cereal boxes. Eclectic, I know! Our goal is to someday run a sustainable farm and raise sheep as a family. I have dreams of practicing herbal medicine, providing reproductive health care, and bringing a smile to our Creator’s face.
My heart is for women and families in under-resourced communities. I would love to one day see a normalization of, and adequate access to, quality home birth midwifery care. I am currently studying to become a Certified Professional Midwife through NARM’s PEP (Portfolio Evaluation Process) Program. While it is still very early in my journey, I am so thankful that this is where I have been called to be! In the meantime I am happy to serve our community as a trained birth and postpartum doula.
I am honored that my mission field is the birth pool, the postpartum bedroom, the labor and delivery unit, and the changing table. I am filled with joy at the blessing of hope that I experience each day serving you and your family!
*I honor and acknowledge that the term parent is all-encompassing— if you are placing your child for adoption or are choosing to use a surrogate, you are still a parent and you deserve support!
