Hi, I’m rachel, and this is raven wellness.

As a Yoga therapist I have special interest in Woman's Wellness in all stages of her journey. If you are experiencing difficulty, going through a transition, having stress, feeling burnt out, spiritually awakening or are hurting physically, mentally or emotionally and need support…. I am here. I use the tools of Yoga for healing and transformation. I guide and support my clients to use their inborn resources so they holistically empower themselves to evolve and shine.

MORE ABOUT ME
 

RAVEN WELLNESS

Raven Wellness is a safe nest where I use the tools of Viniyoga for healing and transformation. All of what I teach does not only come from years of in-depth studies and training but from my own personal experience. I tailor and weave gentle yet powerful, authentic ways to address your suffering. I support and guide you to use your inborn resources to holistically empower yourself so you can evolve and become free to fly to your bright future. 

A bird is born to be free. If, like a bird, you have been locked in a cage you will feel your whole essence is being limited to that tiny space. It is as though your wings have been cut off, along with your characteristic trait - your ability to fly. 

When you are held in a safe, supportive space and can see, feel and accept all of your experiences you can then let go of the life that’s been inherited and finally allow your soul's song to sing. 

Imagine if a bird could not fly or sing! 

Invest in yourself. Connect within. Discover ALL you Are. You are worth it!
