Meet Rachael
When I became pregnant for the first time, I felt, like so many mothers, that a whole new world was opening up and I craved nourishment and connection and became focussed on building a wellness regime that included only natural products.
I also knew that traditional midwifery practices included using herbs to support women in birth. I looked for completely natural and exceptional products that I would want to use for my body in becoming a mother but sadly couldn’t find anything that felt like that - so I made my own.
So I used my clinical Herbalism training to make my own beautiful motherhood botanical products, which my community of women then started to come to me for. That was eight years ago and the start of my business supporting mothers. Since giving birth, I have pivoted my clinical space to support mothers, to make you feel heard, understood and honoured in the way that you should be at this pivotal times.
Three births and eight years later, I have served hundreds of women and supported their journeys into motherhood with herbal medicines, wellness products and space holding.
I offer a trusted, calm, intimate space for mothers to follow their intuition, enriching their experience of motherhood with botanical medicine.
The EMBRACE collection was inspired by the birth of her first child Anaïs, a time of deep creativity and passion to produce exquisite, essential botanical formulations to support childbearing and motherhood. Blending sensual, aromatic and delightfully tasty products with physiologically appropriate herbs.
