SHE RISES
Reawaken Your Feminine Body
A 4-day, 3-night Luxury Retreat Experience in Ashland, Oregon . October 3rd - October 6th
Come explore what it feels like to truly come home to your body.
To awaken your senses.
To move with freedom and fluidity.
To feel the pulse of your sensuality as something sacred and alive.
To speak from a place of power and softness.
To see yourself through loving, reverent eyes.
To tend to your heart with gentle, compassionate hands.
To walk forward guided by deep inner knowing.
This retreat is an invitation to remember the parts of you that have always been there - just buried beneath layers of conditioning, outdated programming, and suppressive ideologies.
Together, we’ll begin to uncover the wellspring of aliveness that lives within you.
One that empowers you to step forward with resilience, joy, sensual power, and deep pleasure. We’ll explore the female body in a way many of us were never taught to understand—with reverence, curiosity, and awe.
You’ll learn about:
-
the unique brilliance of the female nervous system
-
the sacred architecture of the pelvic bowl
-
how pleasure awakens in your body
-
practices for better sex and intimacy with yourself and your partner
-
the magical healing of ceremonial cacao

-
how to support your fertility and nourish your pregnant and postpartum body
-
how you relate to yourself on every level

Loving Words from Clients
"I don’t even really know how to put into words exactly how wonderful Rachel is. Her positive energy, vibe, care, compassion, knowledge, and true passion for helping people - not only through her work, but by taking the time to know and understand your individual needs - is beyond amazing. I met Rachel when I was going through a very rough patch of treatment, and I always knew that anytime I left her, I would be in a better place - mentally, physically, and emotionally. Rachel is a bright light, a good, kindhearted human being, with a true passion for helping people in so many different aspects of life. I would recommend her to anyone a million times over. "
~ Erika T.
"The work of Rachel and her pelvic floor work is a gift to Women, it is profound. I felt completely safe to feel in ways I don’t think I have felt before regarding my pelvic floor. I had no idea the blocks that I had been holding onto without realizing it. With Rachel‘s powerful healing touch and presence I was able to relax. It seems as though our womb and pelvic floor and sexual organs are the key to the universe, that’s how it felt. I had fear of being in a relationship and having sex because of surgery that I’ve had and cancer, regarding my womb and cervix. After just a couple sessions, I opened up in my heart. And since then I have attracted the man of my soul. I feel so free as a woman. Rachel‘s work is life-changing."
~ Karin
"During my time with Rachel, I have learned to soften and slow down, allowing myself to experience pleasure in ways I never had before and to appreciate my womanhood more deeply than ever. There is profound power in women reclaiming their essence. In a masculine-driven culture that has sought to diminish us and make us forget who we truly are, her work stands as both a radical and transformative force for healing our world. She is restoring to women their sense of self and guiding humanity toward a renewed balance between the masculine and feminine."
~ Anonymous
"I had the most amazing time at Rachel’s Feminine Embodiment Workshop. I have never been able to connect so deeply with my body and it was very meaningful for me. I was surprised to be able to sense the energy flowing through my body and my womb space. I continue to use what she taught me on a daily basis and in my meditations. Thank you so much Rachel!"
~ Lori S.

Do I have to attend every class and ceremony?
You don't! As much as we encourage you to and would love for everyone to attend everything (it's part of that edge of growth), it's not mandatory. Part of this retreat is finding the answer within you as to what you're needing - learning to listen to your body. If you're needing more rest, or space to yourself, or a particular class doesn't call to you, you're welcome to. We just ask that it not be disruptive to the rest of the group.

How do I get to Ashland Lavender Estate?
The retreat space itself is ten minutes from downtown Ashland, and Ashland is 25 minutes from the local airport in Medford, Oregon (Rogue Valley International Medford Airport). If you don't have a car, taxis and Ubers are available in the area.
04.
Are children welcome?
As much as we love children, this is a women's only retreat.

Should I stay longer after the retreat?
Ashland and the Rogue Valley are stunningly beautiful, offering a rich blend of nature, culture, and healing.

If you’d like to extend your stay, we’re happy to share recommendations for local gems to visit and enjoy.
This retreat was born from the deep friendship of two women, Rachel & Cat, who share a simple yet powerful intention: to support each other’s healing and to create a space for the incredible women in their lives to heal, grow, and be nourished.
