Multi-Modality Care
In these times we live, healing at a collective level, is also healing at an individual level, and vice-versa.
Standing in the deepest integrity as a holistic practitioner- is to be willing to honor ALL PARTS of an individual as part of a whole, and similarly- acknowledge and honor the various complimentary healing modalities and health philosophies as they compliment each other and pertain to both the whole of a thriving culture and individual.
Each piece of the puzzle is a crucial part of the picture. This is why it is important to us when really working for the health of an individual that we have a lot of tools in our belt so we can support people in a radical holistic way that is ever grounded in the PRESENT MOMENT, and consistently addresses the needs of the individual, and the collective as they present themselves in this dynamic time with which we exist.
Consider your sacred puzzle piece by piece & consider the following sections to learn the many ways our services can come together to support you in your highest integrity.
Heal Through The Tenants of Homeopathy
True balance and wellness has become extremely convoluted in our modern times. Discover Deeper Vitality, Increase your bodies adaptability, fortify your immune system, and start shifting out of various modes that no longer serve you. Healing in this time- is healing as much at a collective level, as it is an individual level.
Homeopathic Medicine is extremely misunderstood in our culture. Half of the population recognize it as pseudoscience, and the other half conflate it with other forms of holistic medicine such as herbalism.
Homeopathy is a fully developed evidence based system of medicine, created by a German physician in the 1700's. Philosophies integral to the system are: "Vitalism" which states that life is sustained and explained by an unmeasurable, intelligent force of energy; "Animism" which attributes that all living matter on earth resonates in a specific purposeful quality; and "Holism" which states that each part of a human being, every organ, system, and life experience, operates together to form the individual human condition.
Together, these philosophies form this system of medicine where the entire person, entire history, and unique expression of symptoms are considered in their jounrey towards wellness. Homeopathic remedies are specific, pharmacy regulated, and prescribed by professional homeopaths.
Rachel is a certified Practitioner of Classical Homeopathy (PCH) with 8 years of classroom and clinical experience, 4 of which are graduate studies.
Homeopathic Philosophy & Intakes serve as the root of Rachel's services in The Root Cellar Co. It serves as the focal point in which she individualizes all care services. For this reason- many (not all) services listed on this page are only available to clients after receiving an intake and constitutional homeopathic care.
I specialize in Classical Homeopathy, with the use of personalized herbal remedies as adjuncts, energy medicine, and coaching. I prescribe and administer pharmacy grade homeopathic remedies, using accredited pharmacies in the US including Hahnemann Labs Inc. I ethically forage and wildcraft most of my herbal medicines and tailor recipes and prescriptions based on the individual I am working with, and what their current needs are in conjunction with their homeopathic prescriptions. My goal is to provide my clients thoughtful and critical prescriptions to help their mind & bodies heal, achieve a deeper vitality, and be in constant mind/body integrity. I have additional training and a focus on energy healing, facilitating healing spaces, trauma informed counseling, advanced female health, advanced postpartum healthcare, and elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Homeopathy is for EVERYONE. Although I accept clients with a full range of diagnoses and ailments, genders, etc- I focus in on biological female health. Particularly: hormone regulating, helping women get off of hormonal birth control, postpartum care for women, pelvic and vaginal health, cycle regulating, menses transitions, fertility support/pregnancy preparation, conception, prenatal care, autoimmune problems, allergies, baby care, the full range of emotional dysregulation, & mental health complaints, traumatic birthing imprints, and more.

Holistic Nourishment Services
To discover a deeper connection to how food nourishes you, and root into yourself.
The Root Cellar was created initially as a food service business, with the emphasis on the importance of local, seasonal, and wild foraged foods. Although it is still these things, it has evolved into a multi- modality healing service after Rachel graduated from Homeopathy school & discovered her passion for female- centered care.
Rachel comes from a multi-cultural background with a dynamic emphasis in her upbringing around food. With Lebanese, Italian, and Eastern European roots, her familial experience with hand crafted unique ancestral recipes dates back to her early childhood. She now studies postpartum and pro-metabolic nutrition and has developed an integral code of physiologic-based nourishment that is mainly informed by The Root Cause Protocol, and Westin A. Price, and collective truths around the importance land-based, seasonal, intuitive, and culturally relevant eating.
We hope to transmit an important paradigm shift in our culture around deep cellular nourishment with reclaiming ancestral ways. We believe this piece of the puzzle is crucial to overall health, vitality, connection to self, and living in your highest integrity.

Why Postpartum Care?
Postpartum: “Following Childbirth”
This means that “postpartum” covers the ENTIRE span of a mothers life after having children. For purposes of breaking up when/what to heal and why, we will isolate the “initial” postpartum period in sections as they are relevant to our specific offerings. First section would be 1-3 months postpartum. Next would be 1 year, then 2-3 years, and then the last truly covers the entirety of the mothers life after childbirth.
The main reason why proper postpartum care for women is important is simple. The health of the baby is COMPLETELY tied in to the health of the MOTHER. This is an obvious truth rooted in biology that carries wide implications & spans out at a cultural level.
The statistics of perinatal mood disorders, postpartum depression, and a huge range of physiologic health concerns are growing beyond our control.
Mothers matter! YOU matter!

MotherBaby Dyad Constitutional Care
The MotherBaby Dyad is a term rooted in our mammalian physiology and explores the physiologic exo-gestational eco-system in the postpartum period lasting from 9-12 months after birth that invariably connects the mother and baby as one unit. This concept is explored in pre & perinatal psychology in reference to emotional & nervous system health relative to both the Mother and Baby as one single unit. Homeopathic intakes are taken within this Dyad structure to explore and treat various health and emotional issues arising in both the mother and baby to increase comfort, ease, attachment and bonding, feeding, and any physical symptoms arising during this time.

Ceremony includes but is not limited to: guided mediations, conscious plant medicine/communication, attunement/light body work, & a re-grounding/counseling practice after the steam to integrate properly what was released or brought to the surface. Herbal Steaming is very well indicated in the postpartum time to help with vaginal tissue, and uterine tissue healing, and also in releasing any traumas from giving birth.
