Elemental Midwifery in Ellsworth, Maine featuring CPM, Rachael Jean

Rachael began doing birth work in 2012 after years of seeking a deeper purpose for her life. She completed a DONA doula training and then soon after found BirthWise Midwifery School in Maine where she completed the 3 year community program. Working for 2 years in apprenticeships in two different home birth practices in Santa Cruz, CA, Rachael started a placenta encapsulation business on the side. Her love of this work inspired her independent research study, exploring the benefits of consuming placenta in the post partum period. She briefly worked with the Amish and Mennonite communities in a small homebirth practice in rural NY before moving to El Paso, TX to work at a high volume birth center that served Mexican families called Maternidad La Luz. Rachael got lots of great experience at this birth center and then returned to support home birth and to integrate all she had learned in the busy birth center life. She finished up her clinical requirements in Colorado and her life as an apprentice midwife. She went on to pass her NARM exam, earning her CPM in March of 2016. Several months later she returned to Salida to work as a midwife at Mountain Family Midwifery with Alli Gober. Rachael worked in this busy home birth practice supporting many families through pregnancy, birth and post partum for 2 years before moving back to the east coast to build a home on her land in Mariaville, ME. She is happily offering her services in around Ellsworth, ME. Before her life as a, Rachael studied and practiced the Healing Arts. Graduating from Mountain Heart Massage School in 2006, she began offering therapeutic massage. She continued her practice and study of body work and got her Reiki I and II as well as becoming a certified Breema practitioner, which is a form of body work that incorporates presence and awareness as a focus. In 2011, she studied at Globe institute in San Francisco, where she graduated with a certificate in Sound Healing. Rachael has continued her love of therapeutic touch work and received training for cranial sacral therapy with infants in 2018. This work is a big part of her current offerings helping new babies to integrate into their bodies after birth. Rachael spends her spare time on her forested land in Mariaville, ME with her partner and her dog, fine tuning their homestead and enjoying nature.

"The path to enlightenment is really very simple – all we need to do is stop cherishing ourselves and learn to cherish others.” This is Dharma, or a life purpose that one finds to serve humanity. This work of midwifery care is my spiritual calling and work that provides me with meaning and purpose. My wish is to support and guide women on their journey through pregnancy and birth as a rites of passage. An initiation is an event in ones life that transforms a person to prepare them for a new role. It is a metamorphosis that involves the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual realms of a persons perception and experience. It is a process that gives one’s life meaning, purpose, and honor. It is a piece that we are starving for in our current culture, a beautiful and deep experience of realizing ourselves as an intrinsic part of the natural order of things.

Offering Midwifery services including pre-conception, prenatal, birth, and postpartum support to the Ellsworth, Maine and the greater Down East Area. Specializing in out of hospital birth, pregnancy massage and cranial sacral therapy for infants.

Hold and support mothers

EXACTLY.

♥️🔵🙌🏼


・・・
It takes a village to raise a child, but also to raise a mother. Motherhood is sometimes scary, overwhelming, lonely, tiring, exhausting and oh so hard. We need a village. People who can give us support, make us laugh, love us, telling us they've been there, giving us a smile - someone who holds us, the mothers. Be in that village, just like you need other moms, you need to be there for other moms too. ❤️

It’s National Rainbow Baby Day! ⛈🌈👶🏼

To every couple who’s struggled with infertility, had a miscarriage, a still birth or lost a child, my heart aches for you. And I hope one day your rainbow baby arrives!

Remember, many suffer in silence because 🖤 1 in 4 🖤 pregnancies end in miscarriage. You are not alone even though it may feel like it and many don’t like to talk about it.

For those of you who’ve welcomed a rainbow baby, love that tiny human with all your might...!

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖
