Mommas ✨

I have decided to start taking a limited number of doula clients starting in 2027 🙏🏻

I started my doula training in 2021 in preparation for my own birth. A time when the mama bear energy was strongest and I was adamant about bodily autonomy throughout my birth process.

My first baby was breech - wanting to be closest to my heart. I tried everything from moxibustion to cephalic version and as soon as he was forcibly turned downward, he flipped right back up in a split second. I was told not to allow myself go into natural labor, even though that would help prepare his body and lungs, and to schedule a c-section. I declined. I went into labor early as I had thought I would (unusual for a first baby) and went to the clinic for my c section on my own terms. I regrettably told my doula she didn’t need to come since she wasn’t allowed in the OR and although the nurses were “nice,” my birth plan was not fully respected. I was non consensually touched, his cord was cut too early, and it just wasn’t the best experience. Some of the nurses were godsends while others were stuck in old ways.

And this is why I feel doula work is so important… birth is a threshold. When you’re in the altered state of birth, you can’t always speak, you can’t always think, you can’t always advocate for your needs. A doula can be your advocate, your shoulder to cry on, the one making sure you have everything you need. 💕

I took a break from offering this service because I was stretched thin. But with changes coming to the flow of my business, I’m able to offer this again 🌙

This is not reflected on my website ✨yet✨ but will be soon. If you’d like to inquire - just DM me your email address and I can send you package details.

✨ Practitioner Spotlight ✨

Meet Rachel Harveland
🌿 Somatic Breathwork Facilitator, Herbalist, Birth Doula & Founding Member

We’re excited to introduce Rachel Harveland, one of the Founding Members of the Lakes Area Wellness Collective!

Rachel is a Somatic Breathwork Facilitator, Herbalist, and Birth Doula who is passionate about helping others reconnect with themselves through the wisdom of the body, the healing power of the breath, and the nurturing support of nature.

She believes healing begins by creating space to release what no longer serves us so we can reconnect with our authentic selves. Through somatic breathwork, herbal wisdom, and intuitive guidance, Rachel gently supports others as they move through healing, transformation, and personal growth.

Whether she’s holding space for emotional release, supporting families as a birth doula, or sharing the gifts of herbal medicine, Rachel’s work is rooted in compassion, presence, and a deep belief in the body’s innate wisdom.

Rachel offers private breathwork sessions, group breathwork experiences, herbal support, and birth doula services throughout the Lakes Area and Fargo communities, as well as virtually.

We’re so grateful to have Rachel as one of our Founding Members and look forward to the healing, connection, and heart-centered care she brings to our wellness community.

I’m a spiritual being but…
🌿Don’t ask me about 5D consciousness, talk to me about the health of our soil.
🌿Don’t ask me about astral projection, talk to me about how joy, grief, or inspiration feel in your body as physical sensations.
🌿Don’t ask me about soul contracts, talk to me about how you’re caring for your community.
🌿Don’t ask me about angel numbers, talk to me about the land around you - what grows there, which animal kin live there, what patterns you notice.

One of many favorite things said by Decolonial, Spiritual, & Earth Medicine for Healers & Leaders was after a meditation where she said something like “It feels so good to be in the realm of Spirit. But it’s important that we come back here. This is where our work is needed.”

We have work to do here as humans. We can’t transcend what’s happening and bypass it with a “everything’s happening for a reason”. We need to get our physical hands in the dirt and work together.

As new AI data centers are being built every day, as wars and gen0cides continue, as millions of acres of protected lands are being sold off to miners and drillers, as our forests burn, as our weather patterns dramatically change, as more & more waters are polluted, as our soil becomes depleted of nutrients, as our local businesses keep closing their doors while corporations continue as normal…. what are YOU going to do? I’m not interested in anything else right now. My heart hurts for the state of our earth and I will continue to do everything I can for steward the kind of world I want my children and the next several generations to live in. ♥️
