Nurturing A holistic and peaceful path for motherhood
SAGE MOTHERING
If you begin your day with a whole-hearted intention for peace but get lost in each day’s triggers, you need a map.
When I became a mother, I knew well all I didn’t want to do. Finding the path toward who I did want to be as a mother to my children was much less clear. Even with a stack of degrees in what essentially amounted to motherhood, it’s hard to be what you can’t see. It’s hard to apply the pieces you pick up along the way without the whole picture.
After decades of raising my own three children and supporting thousands of gentle parenting families around the world, I have identified five essential elements that foster the peaceful state you crave within yourself, your relationships, and your world.
Do you struggle to show up as the mother you long to be?
- Melissa
I am bursting with gratitude for all the tools Rachel offers to help me grow deeply into my authentic self, along with an invitation to shed the layers that no longer align with my values. I am inspired to live more mindfully, with my compass aligned toward connection. Her wisdom is simple, yet so profound. I highly recommend this course if you’re ready to live a joyful life in connection with your kids and loved ones."
"This course has transformed not only my parenting but also my life.
- Alina
I’ve been listening to Rachel’s podcast for years—I know every single episode by heart. Her words have been a guiding light for me, and the Sage Mothering course feels like the distilled essence of everything she teaches: well-structured, deeply insightful, and profoundly holistic. This course isn’t just about saying the "right" things or following a set of parenting instructions. Instead, it offers a shift in perspective—a gentler, more positive, and more conscious way of seeing myself, my children, the world, and life itself. What I love most is Rachel’s ability to break down seemingly complex topics into their simplest, most meaningful truths while maintaining a warm and encouraging presence. Her Bucket System course has already transformed our family life, and Sage Mothering has touched me just as deeply. On difficult days, Rachel’s voice is my anchor, my source of positive energy and confidence, reminding me why I’ve chosen this path—even when it feels so far from the societal norm.

"A gentle, holistic approach to motherhood that truly resonates.

. . . who wants to learn how to raise kind, capable, strong and thoughtful adults, while also living a wonderfully fulfilling life in which my needs are met too. This is not just a parenting course, this is a course on how to live in harmony with all of your people. It is the deeper work behind the gentle parenting scripts people post on social media that can give you inspiration but often leave you feeling lost in knowing how to authentically get there. Rachel gives such a beautiful balance of accepting everyone right where they are and guiding them to where they want to be, with no judgement or pressure, just loving support. I honestly believe that if everyone took this course, we could achieve world peace!"
"This course is everything my heart has been longing for as a mother . . .
- Elmien
Yes, I have access to the tools I need to do the inner work needed to show up for my people in a way that aligns with my values. Yes, I understand what it means to show up for myself with the care and love I am so deeply worthy of. Yes, I believe that I can "gentle human" in a way that affects meaningful change within the broader community I find myself in."
"After working through the course material (which had me laughing out loud at some times and crying rivers of tears at others), I feel a calm confidence that says 'YES! I can totally do this!'

Hi friend,

Yes! Sage Mothering is 25% off the first week of November (just once a year).
DOES this course EVER GO ON SALE?
My professional and personal experience is that in our present culture there is a unique life experience that is specific to anyone who identifies as a mother. This course is speaking to that brutiful (brutal + beautiful) experience.
Why sage mothering instead of parenting?
It is self-paced with lifetime access. This means that you can move through the lessons whenever works for you, at the pace that feels right you, and you can revisit the content whenever if feels helpful for you, for as long as the class is up and running.
Is there a time limit to complete the class?
The answer to this question is an enthusiastic yes. While this course is helpful for families anywhere along the spectrum of mothering experience, it is callibrated for those of us mothering at a higher degree of difficulty.
Is this course helpful for neurodiverse families?
This course supports the entire journey of motherhood, including examples from infancy to young adulthood. The work we do that allows us to show up differently for our children is actually universal to all human connection (crazy, right?). What helps you parent a toddler better also helps your relationship with a teenager and a partner and on it goes.
what age of children is this course designed for?
