dearly beloved


Reconnecting with self & spirit
through breath, movement, and nature


Welcome

This is a space for slowing down, coming back to your body, and reconnecting with what is ancient and alive within you.Through connection with nature, mindful movement, and inner stillness, we come home to ourselves, the wisdom we carry and the steady love that supports us.“Dearly Beloved” is more than a name. It’s a prayer — to the earth, to our ancestors and guides, to the knowing held in our bodies, and to the sacred self within.


about

I’m Rachel — a teacher, a space-holder, and a forever student of the body and the natural world.This offering is a reflection of the healing journey that guided me home to myself.
In the midst of a dark night of the soul — marked by chronic, unyielding pain and overwhelming anxiety — it was being outside in nature, slowing my breath, gently moving my body, and tuning in to the quiet messages of the earth that brought me back to wholeness, reminding me: I am safe. I am held. I am ok.
Through somatic yoga practices, nature connection, and ritual, I support those navigating nervous system dysregulation and the challenges of grief, anxiety, pain, and disconnectionThis is not about doing. It’s about being. Remembering how to slow down.
To come out of the mind and return to the body.
To feel the ground beneath you.
To be held — by your breath, by the trees, by the quiet rhythm of the earth.

This is where healing begins.
The name Dearly Beloved is also a nod to Prince — an artist whose spirit has always helped me return to my self again and again. His words — “we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life” — echo what I offer here: a space of deep connection and remembering: you are not alone.You are Beloved. And you are rooted in love.
