The Japanese art form of Kintsugi, is this:Â
Broken pottery pieces are mended together with GOLD, into a single piece that carries more character and integrity than before. Kintsugi translates to Golden Repair. Kintsugi can only happen because things were once broken.

Rachelle Seliga
Rachelle Seliga is a devoted Mother and Midwife whose work has been dedicated to midwifing a cultural shift - where our innate wisdom, personal authority and the sanctity of Life are honored and centered - for over 20 years.
Rachelle's legacy work is INNATE Postpartum Care - Certification Training, which teaches "Physiologic Postpartum Care," the unifying tradition etched into the blood and bone of all postpartum women. Thousands of practitioners are trained in INNATE's body of work; supporting thousands of families worldwide.
Rachelle lives and works from the understanding that our physiologic design IS our divine design, which IS our "blueprint," which ARE our original instructions. These different ways to say the SAME thing acknowledge that there is an order, a structure, a map to LIFE that supersedes human will; it is Nature's Design. Nature's Design is Rachelle's Greatest mentor, and her work is grounded in Nature's Thriving Life Principles.
Rachelle is a woman enamored with LIFE and with a burning fire to live into potential. She values Aliveness, Relationships, Beauty, and Action, and knows from experience that the most effective and powerful usage of our respective & collective energy, comes from following that which is most alive in us - and creating from THIS place. In this way systems and structures that align with Life and our connection with it - are born.
