Hi, I’m Rachel.

I have been learning about birth for over 10 years now, since I was pregnant with my first in 2010/11. I am certified as a birth doula and childbirth educator, I have completed trainings in Spinning Babies®, the pelvic floor, trauma, essential oils specifically for birth, Breech Without Borders (vaginal breech birth), “free” birth, herbs & homeopathy, and more, and have read countless books about numerous birth, pregnancy, and postpartum subjects. I also spent over a year creating my own natural childbirth education curriculum that I proudly teach in person and through my site.

Of course, I like other things, too. The mountains are my happy place, especially when experienced with my family and friends. I also enjoy (very light) yoga, family game/movie nights, and SUNSHINE! I love summer and hate being cold. I also hate finding out that a care provider caused a mama to feel helpless and fearful.

That’s why I’ve made this site; I want all women to feel confident and learn to trust their body, baby, and innate instincts. I want to use the wisdom of our ancestors, traditional practices, and evidence-based information to help you make the best choices for YOU and YOUR family. You know your body and your baby better than anyone else and you alone are the prime authority.

I hope you enjoy my site and find that it adds value to your birth experience, birth business, and life.

Love,

Rachel Mans, SpBCPE, BAI CD, CBE
