Drop the “Have To’s and Shoulds.”
Make Aligned Decisions From Sovereignity – NOT obligation.
Clarity, confidence, and grounded decision-making for your health, your work, and your life.
Whether you’re navigating your child’s fever or trying to build a business that actually feels like yours, my work helps you cut through the noise, expand your options, and choose from a place of clarity and sovereignty — not pressure or fear.
You don’t need the “right” way. You need your way.
Hi, I'm Rachel
Decision Coach, Herbalist, and Sovereignty Guide.
I help overwhelmed moms and mission-driven women drop the pressure, reconnect to their agency, and make aligned decisions in their health and their work.
You don’t need more opinions, more noise, or more “shoulds.”
You need space.
You need clarity.
You need sovereignty.
That’s where I come in.
My work dismantles fear, challenges inherited stories, and expands possibilities you never knew you had — grounding you in clarity, sovereignty, and self-trust.
My Work Blends
the empathy and insight of a social worker
the holistic understanding of a herbal therapist
the pattern-recognition of a dot-connector
the clarity and speed of a decisive, aligned problem solver
the deep mind-body awareness of a coach and mediator
Balanced & empathetic (meeting you where you are. No #momguilt)
I help you uncover possibilities you didn’t realize were available — in your health and in your work.
I’m not here to tell you what to do.
I’m here to help you see what’s possible.

Through my work with Kate Kordsmeier at Success with Soul
Around here, we don’t do:
“You have to…”
“You should…”
“Good moms/business owners do it this way…”
Fear-based decisions
Overthinking and paralysis
One-true-way formulas
Instead, we work from:
Safety — it’s okay to not know yet
Sovereignty — you get to choose
Curiosity — there are always more options
Both/And Thinking — no more false binaries
Bravery — rewriting old narratives takes guts
You’re not here to follow invisible rules.
You’re here to create a life that feels aligned — in your family and in your work.

What They're Saying about Rachel
I purchased the natural family health audit from Rachel and it was 100% worth it.
The whole process was extremely helpful! From answering the questionnaire (which helped me put words to my hopes and concerns), to receiving Rachel’s video response full of information and recommendations tailored specifically to me and my family.
I feel very encouraged and equipped to take care of myself and my family in a new way. Plus, I now have a document to reference as I build my herbal supply kit.
5 stars!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You don’t need perfection.
You don’t need certainty.
You don’t need another expert telling you what to do.
You need a safe place to think, feel, explore, and choose.
Let’s Rewrite the Rules Together.
Frequently Asked Questions
You’ve got questions, I’ve got answers!
Are you a herbalist or a business coach?
Both — and neither in the way you’re thinking.
I’m a Decision Coach who specializes in helping women make aligned, sovereign choices in their health and their work.
My herbalism background helps you understand your body, explore natural options, and feel confident caring for your family.
My business coaching supports you in dropping the rules, choosing strategies that fit your life, and building a business from sovereignty — not pressure.
The common thread?
I help you stop second-guessing and make decisions that actually feel right for you.
Can we discuss business AND health in the same session?
Yes — absolutely.
In fact, I prefer it.
I look at your life holistically because everything is connected:
-
Your health affects your business.
-
Your business affects your stress.
-
Your stress affects your energy.
-
Your energy affects your clarity.
-
Your clarity affects your decisions — in every area.
You are not a set of separate compartments.
You’re one whole human with one whole life.
So if you come in wanting to talk about your child’s fever, your business model, your fatigue, your marketing plan, your boundaries, your supplements, or your identity as a mom and entrepreneur…
We follow the thread.
Because the real transformation happens when we stop treating your health and work like two different worlds.
Who do you work with?
I work with moms and mission-driven women who are overwhelmed by too many options, too much noise, and too many “shoulds.”
Women who want to:
-
feel confident caring for their family’s health
-
trust themselves to make good decisions
-
stop second-guessing
-
drop the need to “get it right”
-
build businesses that align with their values
-
create a life built around sovereignty, not pressure
If you want clarity, choice, and aligned action — we’ll work well together.
How do I know if we are a good fit to work together?
hey, I get it. I’m a stranger on the internet and you may feel a little wary about that.
It’s absolutely understandable and want to make sure that you feel comfortable working with me.
The best way to get to know me is to reach out personally to see if we are a good fit. You can email me any time at: rachel@seedsandstalks.com
We’re a great fit if you want:
-
clarity without pressure
-
options instead of rules
-
curiosity instead of fear
-
support that helps you think, not tells you what to do
-
decisions that feel aligned, not obligated
-
a guide who’s direct, relational, and deeply grounded
-
a safe space to explore without judgment
-
practical, actionable next steps
We’re NOT a fit if you want:
-
someone to make decisions for you
-
rigid, one-size-fits-all protocols
-
“the right answer” instead of your right answer
-
a guru, an authority figure, or quick-fix formulas
If you want sovereignty, clarity, and confidence — you’re in the right place.
How often will we meet?
It depends on what you need and how you make decisions best.
For most clients, we meet bi-weekly or monthly — enough to keep momentum without adding pressure to your schedule.
One-off Decision Deep Dives are exactly that: one powerful session to get clarity fast.
In longer coaching containers, we co-create a rhythm that supports your life, your energy, and your goals.
No forced frequency. No pressure. Just what’s aligned for you.
And you’ll have support via text (Monday-Thursday 10am-3pm PST) so that you can get real-time support and coaching for those micro decisions that come up frequentlty!

I'm busy, how much time does all this take?
I work fast and efficiently — because you’re busy and overwhelmed already.
Most women get clarity within the first session, and many walk away with their next steps mapped out immediately.
From there, the pace is flexible and designed around your capacity:
-
One-off sessions = clarity in a single powerful conversation
-
Ongoing coaching = weekly or monthly support
-
Health programs + courses = short, practical lessons you can fit into real life
-
Herbal guidance = simple, effective steps you can implement right away
No long videos. No complicated protocols. No busywork.
Just clear decisions and aligned action you can take today.
I’ll teach you simple AND effective natural remedies that you can use easily. No complicated, time consuming remedies over here. You don’t have to learn hundreds of herbs.
The majority of remedies I use can be made at home in 15 minutes or less. If you keep your apothecary well stocked (which I’ll teach you how to do), and you know my magic formulating formula, you can easily take care of your family. And if you don’t have time to make anything, I’ll help you fully stock your natural first aid kit so that you have trusted products to use when needed.
Can you help with xx condition?
I will work with you (and help you learn to think!) in a holistic way and that will always prioritize the individual and not the disease/condition. Hippocrates once said that it is “more important to know what sort of person has the disease than what sort of disease the person has.” My work focuses on teaching you how to support and balance the body using herbs and other natural therapeutic tools. Making changes using herbs, nutrition, and other lifestyle modifications may positively impact health conditions. In addition, many herbs have been used and studied in the integrative health field with positive results.
However, using herbs is not a substitute for medical care and herbalists do not include diagnose or treat disease. I am not a medical doctor or other licensed health care professional. In addition, I am unable to answer personal health questions by email.
I want my kids to see a mom who trusts herself — in health, in work, and in every choice she makes.
Let’s build that same confidence and clarity in your home.
