I’m Rachel, a birth companion and postpartum caregiver with a background in out of hospital birth, herbalism, and holistic maternal care. My work is shaped by lived experience as a homebirth mother and by years of supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum transition. I approach this work with reverence for the body’s wisdom, faith in the Most High YHWH, and a deep respect for birth and postpartum as meaningful rites of passage. I believe a mother is the expert on her own body and needs. My role is to offer steady presence, education, and practical support so you feel informed, grounded, and supported rather than managed or rushed. I focus on mental and emotional preparation, nervous system care, nourishment, and helping mothers feel held during one of the most tender seasons of life. Amana is for mothers who want care rooted in faith, discernment, and trust in their body.

Hi, I’m Rachel, the birth sister behind Amana. I provide birth and postpartum support for mothers who want calm, intentional care and a provider who is fully present. To protect the quality of support I offer, I work with only one birth and postpartum family per month. This allows me to give focused attention before, during, and after birth. My support includes prenatal preparation, continuous labor support, postpartum planning, mental health check ins, nourishment, light household care, and holistic guidance during the early weeks after birth. I also offer virtual coaching for mothers who want education and support from a distance. I believe mothers are their own primary care providers. My role is to support your decision making, not manage or override it. I offer a complimentary 30 minute connection call to ensure we are aligned before working together. If you’re seeking steady, mother centered support and value depth over volume, I may be a good fit.
Working with Amana Birth Services was transformative and affirming. I am so grateful to have consulted with Rachel to prepare for the delivery of my first child. During our meetings, she provided detailed information, always exercised patience and care, and consistently followed up with resource guides and thorough learnings to help me get organized and prepared. She also encouraged my husband to join our sessions, so we could both prepare for our journey together. I highly recommend soliciting their services for all expecting families, as Amana Birth Services goes above and beyond to meet your needs and help you/your loved ones feel empowered in the rich and exciting journey of birth!

My husband and I had been searching for the right doula for a long time, and none seemed to be the right fit, until Yahuah sent Rachel into our lives at just the right time. We acquired her online services and from the beginning, she stood out with her faith, consistent check-ins, deep knowledge, and a calm, nurturing, and reassuring presence. With her online service Rachel was not only thorough in her care, but also genuinely trustworthy. She not only provided support for the labor and birth, but she extended herself after, and checked in on me (mama) and baby multiple times. We are so thankful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly dedicated and Yah fearing doula.

First off I just want to thank the Most High for sending this beautiful soul into my life. She has been so amazing since day one of me meeting her. I knew that this pregnancy I wanted to do things differently than my first and she has given me all the tools and resources I need to do so and from a biblical and holistic perspective! With my first birth I didn’t have the greatest experience and I ended up having a cesarean birth so with this being my first VBAC a little bit of fear crept in. Rachel has showed me how to properly navigate through my fears during this pregnancy and has helped me to be more knowledgeable about the things I put in my body. I would most definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a Holistic Doula that is working on behalf of the Most High Yah! Peace and blessings!

I wish I could give Amana Birth Services 10/5 stars! I can’t say enough good things about the support I received from Rachel! During my pregnancy and postpartum journey, she was truly my go-to person. Her advice and encouragement helped me navigate everything from pregnancy aches and pains to learning how to trust my changing body. After giving birth, she was instrumental in helping me with breastfeeding, especially when I dealt with mastitis, and she always had thoughtful, holistic evidence-based advice delivered with so much care and patience. So many families will benefit from her knowledge and passion. She’s truly a gift to new and expecting mothers!
