About Rachelle

First and foremost, I am a wife, mother of 6, and a daughter of the King. I live with my husband of almost 24 years and 4 of my children in Oak Harbor WA. I love the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and am excited to be serving clients on Whidbey Island. I am passionate about nutrition and natural healing including medicinal and homeopathic remedies. I am a bit of a homesteader and find much joy in preserving home grown foods, making my own herbal tinctures, and spending time with family.

My Story

For as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated with pregnancy and birth. Even as a small child, I frequently was found with a pillow in my shirt pretending to be pregnant, carrying around my precious baby doll, or collecting bugs in hopes they were pregnant and ready to birth.

I attended my first “human” birth at the age of 17 which sparked a fire that has never been quenched. I had a homebirth with my first son at the age of 21 and 6 months after his birth became a doula and childbirth educator which I did for the next 13 years.

My goal was always to become a midwife and serve women. I graduated from nursing school in 2005 and worked at several different hospitals over the years as a labor and postpartum nurse.

I went on to have 4 more home births and 1 hospital birth. When my youngest was 4, I was finally able to start my midwifery education process. I attended Frontier School of Nursing where I attained my masters’ degree in Nurse Midwifery in Dec 2021.

I practiced midwifery at a busy birth center being present at over 130 births in 18 months. My goal was to open my own practice here on the Island being able to serve my community doing home births and offering a different approach to women’s health as an ARNP. I am excited to see this dream come to fruition!
