Rachelle Garcia Seliga's work is dedicated to midwifing a cultural shift- based upon our innate wisdom, personal authority and the sacredness of Life. Working in the field of traditional midwifery care for the past 15 years, Rachelle's work as a ‘midwife’ embraces the original meaning of this word, which is caretaker of women’s health from ‘womb to tomb.’
‘Innate’ is that which is natural and inherent. ‘Traditions’ are those teachings that are passed down from one generation to the next. Our innate physiological design offers us a map to health and wellness. We THRIVE when we follow that which has been laid out for us. Traditional medicinal knowledge is stored within our blood memory, within the Earth, Air, Water and Fire. The more we heal ourselves from the destructive programming we have received, the more -access- we have to this knowledge. It is from these understandings that ‘Innate Traditions’ was born. All of Rachelle's work is dedicated to this Remembrance. Rachelle runs a Holistic Well-Woman Care practice, which tends to the health of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
I have been drawn to Rachelle's work as I feel she has a strong gift at articulating and giving language to these important topics, in turn helping us turn inner knowing into understanding and inspire cultural change through action and embodiment.
We discuss:
- The traditional wisdom of postpartum care and the importance to reconnect to these practices within the current modern yet dis-functional context.
- Ancestral grief, the subsequent disconnection from each other, the world we a a part of, the complexities of healing and crucial need to do so
- The inherent physiology underlying Rachelle's work, teachings and postpartum care overall. How understanding this allows us to be informed to better nurture Mothers and therefore babies, children and communities at large.
- The remembrance that while we may feel and act disconnected, we can never actually be disconnected from that which we are inherently a part of.
Rachelle has a Webinar on Ancestral Grief & Ancestral Healing 14th April, MST, that will be 15th April AEST but if you sign up you will receive a recording available for 72hours after webinar.
