In understanding the physiologic design of our babies & young children, we come to realize the ‘map’ we have been given to lay down a foundation of life-long health and vitality for them.
Following the physiologic design of human life - versus forcing our physiologic design into societal frameworks - is one of the best ways to assure thriving life for humanity.
This class is for those who have children - and for those who don’t have children. This class is for any human who is here to create Thriving Life on Earth.
By the end of this Training, you will:
- Have an integrated understanding of the physiologic design of human babies
- Know how to align with this design not just in theory - but in practice
- Feel confident and grounded in your innate knowing of how to support babies to THRIVE
- Bring healing to your inner child - to bring healing to the children in your life
- Orient yourself to healthy hierarchy as an adult
Physiologic Baby Care has to do with healing the core belief system that "experts" know better about the health and wellness of our babies then we do, and about returning to our innate design and ancestral knowing, of how to raise the next generation in excellent health.
This course will teach you what we have collectively forgotten; it will validate what you know to be true; it will soothe your heart and connect you with all of humanity. I love Rachelle’s embodiment of the matriarch. She is wise and kind, boundaried and loving, confident and humble. Funny and deeply honest. Her presence and teaching is very regulating and reminds me to both lighten up and take it all deeply seriously. It’s a balm to be in such a respectful and caring environment despite the limitations of online work. This course confirmed many of my intuitive choices in mothering with cultural and physiological data. I met many likeminded parents and gained so much grounding and confidence in how to approach what is now the greatest work of my life - raising children well.
Kesia Nagata, Mother
This class is what the world needs to heal from the trance of separation and disconnection we have all been fooled into believing is the way we are supposed to live our lives and raise our children. Rachelle teaches that a child raised in a world of connection not only creates a happier healthier child but ultimately a better world for all of us.
Adam Sweet, Father
This course is for you if:
- You know that Mother is baby's first environment - and want to support this dyad design
- You intuitively know that babies' health is contingent upon Parents' health
- You know that babies' are inherently wise and want to better understand their wisdom
- You believe in the importance of inside-out work
- You know that thriving health is humanity's birthright
This course is not for you if:
- You believe babies are unintelligent and unconscious
- You think "experts" know better about babies then Mothers/Fathers know about their own babies
- You think there is no connection between babies' health and adults' health
- You are not interested in taking responsibility for your own healing
- You are not interested in cultivating global community
“If the adult is centered and relaxed in connection with the baby, in rhythm with the baby—diaper changing, feeding—that baby will be in the conversation, in the act of doing it together rather than somebody doing it to them.” - Raymond Castellino

This course will give you crucial wisdom about how to raise your children in true health and harmony, and to tend to your whole family unit in ways that might allow it to flourish. You'll feel like you are remembering, rather than learning this information, because it is indeed so. This course can be one of the greatest gifts you ever give yourself and your children, as it has the potential to radically change the trajectory within your family (and hence within our culture) from one of disease, alienation, and suffering, to one of resiliency, health, and thriving. As a doula and a future mother, taking this course was one of the best things I could have done.
Inna Dagman, Craniosacral therapist and Doula

Although my "babies" are now almost 45 and 43 years old, I found all of the information of Physiologic Baby Care Course relevant and applicable. It is a course which offers an opportunity for deep introspection, transformation, hope and healing for the entire family. Rachelle GIVES with such depth, sensitivity and sacredness, that creates a safe space to feel the experience of receiving in a way that quickens to life the opportunity for me to reflect upon my own experience of being a young mother, of my own experience of being a grandmother, and of my own process of forgiveness....clearing the path for yet more LOVE.
