“I felt deeply supported throughout the 8 weeks and beyond. I truly believe Prana Mama was the most healing, loving, empowering thing I could have done for myself, my baby and our birth”
If you told me 2 months ago how relaxed and confident.. and even excited.. I would be feeling about birthing my baby… I never would have believed you. DO THE COURSE.”
“I read at least 8 books and watched a gazillion hypnobirthing youtube videos and still had this sense of dread, like I would fail at this [birth], or something horrible would happen. The one-on-one support from Rachel was a total gamechanger. The fear is gone. I cannot recommend her program enough.”
“If you had to choose one thing to prepare for your labor and birth, choose this!”
The Prana Mama Method™
I am so glad you are here, and I believe you found me for a reason. I created Prana Mama Method for women who want to not just think they can birth their baby, but know it with every fiber of their being. As a hypnotherapist, I understand how our subconscious beliefs create the world around us, and I have witnessed time and again how real the mind-body connection is. Helping people overcome phobias, fears of public speaking or flying, hormonal imbalances, insomnia, chronic pain, and more, by accessing the subconscious mind, is an incredible thing to witness.
And there is no greater example of the mind-body connection than the experience of birth. It is powerful, profound, spiritual, and divine—and our society has stripped us of our power by feeding us fear, convincing us that our bodies are something separate from our minds, and that birth is dangerous and should be medicalized. Prana Mama was created to strip away those limiting beliefs and deeply support expecting mothers as they tap into their own innate wisdom and power.
Prana Mama is an interwoven, fully personalized experience built around five core elements — each one working in harmony with the others to prepare your mind, body and spirit for birth and early motherhood.
The 5 Pillars
Subconscious Reprogramming
Through deep hypnotherapy and coaching sessions, we uncover and gently transform the beliefs, stories and patterns that are shaping how you feel about birth. Messages absorbed from the world around you. Fear of the unknown. Fear of letting go. A need to control. Parts of you that don’t yet feel safe. We go all the way in with things like inner child work, parts work, and belief change, so that what you carry into your birth is genuine power.
Nervous System Regulation
Your nervous system is the gateway between your mind and your body. When it’s in fight-or-flight, labor slows, pain intensifies, and fear takes over. We work deeply with your nervous system so that your body learns, at a cellular level, what safety feels like. And can return there, instantly, whenever you need it.
Birth Wisdom and Physiology
You will come to understand your body’s extraordinary intelligence in a way that genuinely changes how you feel in your own skin. The physiology of labor. The mind-body connection. The ancient wisdom of the birthing body that has been passed down through generations of women. This knowledge deeply empowers you.
Somatic Release
Sometimes the body holds onto things that only the body can let go of. Using EFT tapping, pregnancy-safe pranayama breathwork, movement, and other somatic practices, we gently release what’s held in the tissue, the jaw, the hips, and the organs. Once the body is heard, the mind can follow.
Birth is one of the most sacred thresholds a woman will ever cross. You deserve to cross it with power.
Mindfulness and Embodied Practice
Relaxation techniques, anchors, visualizations and mindfulness tools so thoroughly integrated through repetition and hypnosis that you can access them without having to think about it, even at the crest of a contraction wave. These become part of you.
