About Rachael

I am a prenatal and postpartum specialist, birth doula, and Level 4 ELDOA trainer. Through my business, Align Movement, I help moms stay active and pain-free during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. I specialize in pelvic health through all stages, guiding women in healing their core, relieving back pain, and strengthening their bodies, especially after C-sections. My programs include personalized exercise, nutrition support, and osteopathic manual therapy, which incorporates treatments like fascia release, visceral manipulation, lymphatic drainage, and pain relief. My goal is to empower women to return to fitness and embrace full-body wellness.

Childbirth Educator services

At Align Movement, I provide comprehensive care for women during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond, focusing on a whole-body approach rooted in osteopathic principles. By addressing the body as an interconnected system, I treat the root causes of pain and dysfunction, helping women achieve lasting results. My services include in-person osteopathic manual therapy, which features techniques such as fascia release, visceral manipulation, lymphatic drainage, and craniosacral therapy. These hands-on treatments help relieve pain, restore alignment, and enhance overall mobility and function. For those who prefer flexible options, I offer virtual coaching and self-guided programs that include personalized exercises, posture correction, and core healing designed to meet each woman’s unique needs and goals. As a Level 4 ELDOA trainer, osteopathic manual therapist, and doula, I bring a unique combination of expertise to support pelvic health, diastasis recovery, back pain relief, and full-body strengthening. My holistic approach integrates therapeutic techniques with movement-based practices like ELDOA and corrective exercises, along with nutritional guidance, to optimize recovery and wellness. Whether you’re seeking in-person treatments, virtual guidance, or a self-paced program, Align Movement offers a one-stop solution for women looking to heal, strengthen, and thrive at every stage of motherhood.
