Remembering our Wholeness

Welcome

I’m Rachael, and I serve the beautiful weirdos of the world.

The truth seekers, the quirkies, the wounded rebels, the queers. The neurodivergent folks that see through the bullshit and name what is true.

The ones who are ready to dismantle our society’s oppressive systems, and let what is familiar crumble.

The folks who are seeking radical alternative ways to heal our interpersonal, systemic, and spiritual trauma, so that we can be whole again - individually and collectively.

As a somatic trauma therapist & shamanic practitioner, I traverse seemingly disparate worlds.

Some days I am at Naropa University, leading the clinical supervision of the Somatic Psychotherapy program. Some days I am walking the indigenous lands of Cheyenne and Ute, communing with the ancestors and spirits, guiding others to do the same.

Yes, I am a queer, autistic, shapeshifting, edgewalking ‘wierdo’, here to embody the truth that we are inseparable - from our bodies, our ancestry, our divinity, Mama Earth, and each other. It is by re-membering our wholeness that we heal as a human race.

  • “Rachael guided me home to my own wisdom and seat as a therapist. She holds compassionate space while gently steering others into what is living unspoken in the body or in the systems around us. I felt held and seen by Rachael in a way that stretched my growth and increased my groundedness.”

    Mentorship for Healing Practitioners & Therapists

  • “Rachael helped me find my own guiding light again. Her kindness, understanding, gentleness, patience and belief in me has helped me through chronic life challenges. She's been a tremendously positive force in my life, I’m grateful that I have had her as an ally throughout my healing journey.”

  • "Rachel is connected to herself and the world in such an embodied way. She pairs directness with kindness (and humor!), and knows where to push me, when to wade in deeper, when to invite gentleness. She helped me embrace my neurodivergence and meet myself exactly where I am."

    Somatic Psychotherapy Clinical Supervisee

  • “Rachael is an incredible therapist and caring individual. She encompasses unparalleled attunement, empathy, and connection with not only her clients, but all people in her life. She has a gentle ability to create substantial, long lasting change based on the individual goals of each client.”

    Spiritual-Somatic Psychotherapy Client

  • “It is rare to find a spiritual practitioner that is also a licensed therapist. Rachael’s combines her deep connection with nature and the spirit world, with years of training in traumas, triggers, and how to safely hold space for a client through their spiritual healing. Her quiet confidence feels safe and clear. ”

Soul Embodied Conversations

An experiential podcast that contemplates how to connect across differences in an embodied way. We invite you to feel, move your body, engage and be inspired.

I stand at the intersection between soma, psyche, spirit, and social justice.

As inseparable as body, mind and spirit are, the realms of psychotherapy and spiritual healing often work independent of the other.

Spiritual communities are rife with those that aren't integrated into social justice, into queerness, into race, who aren't accepting or know how to hold space for the difficulties that people have in certain bodies within our social systems.

By weaving together somatic therapy, trauma work, and spiritual healing, I am committed to supporting all bodies find embodied freedom, and walk their Soul’s path.
