About Rochelle

I’ve been working with the physical, emotional, creative, and spiritual lives of women for over twenty years. I’ve assisted hundreds of busy individuals to mitigate stress and discover their inner wisdom and the power of the present to live their most connected, courageous, and meaning-filled lives. It’s possible. I’m humbled to have witnessed it hundreds of times. I’m here to support you too.

The Ways of the Rising Woman Approach


I’m here to guide you home to yourself, just as you are, to evoke empowered awareness as the infinite and illuminating source of love that is available to you by reconnecting you to your own inner resources to rise rooted as an agent for meaningful change in your own life and in the world.

 

 

OUR WORk together

We begin where we find our feet. Honoring the land, our bodies, and our human experience. Learning to dwell in this timeless moment, and respectfully reweaving ourselves into the fabric of the animate world.

We’re nourished by this work and receive gifts that we were born to receive. Gifts that nourish our tattered hearts and souls as we release conditionings and uplift, amplify, and embody our deepest values.

Radical self-care, self-nourishment, self-compassion, practicing beauty, and healing ancestral traumas are powerful antidotes for deep spiritual and socio-cultural wounds of multi-generational patriarchal control, subjugation, and domination. We’re bestowed with life-thriving fruits of our labors as we rise rooted to place and in our power and become embodied and emboldened co-creators of the more beautiful and just world we know in our hearts is possible.

We’ve been profoundly shaped by patriarchal norms, and potentially deeply wounded by them, too. Through our shared experiences within this paradigm-shifting, mindfulness-based, anti-oppression approach, our lives become our greatest teachers. We become an inspiring and supportive learning community of women rising rooted together.

 
 

The Ways of the Rising Woman Community


An approach and on-going learning community based on embodiment, self-healing, and sacred ways for our individual and collective homecoming, and for living lives of authenticity and purpose. Reclaim your own inner resources and live the vibrant and connected life you were born to live.

 
 

The Story of my Journey


This video is a brief summary of how my life began to change significantly over 14 years ago when I embarked on a healing journey that brought me into an intimate relationship with the present moment and all the things my heart deeply longed for.

I tell my story not because it is unique but because, in its essence, it is the story of so many women.

I’ve learned to embrace all pieces of me with gentleness and self-compassion. The main feeling I can attribute to how I have felt after working with Rochelle is “worthy”.  I know now that I’m worthy of making room in my life for me. I’m incredibly grateful for this experience and growth in this trying time and everything that I’ve learned from Rochelle.
