I'm Rachel! Founder of CM, former mental health and substance abuse counselor turned conscious parenting coach and kids product reviewer!

I started watching babies at 13 years old. By the time I was 20, I'd watched more babies, toddlers, and young children than I can even remember. While earning my B.S. in Psychology from the University of Florida I worked with autistic children as a research assistant. 

Afterwards, I earned my M.Ed where I continued to learn about early childhood development while working with adolescents and young adults as a mental health counselor.

I knew I wanted to be a mom, but I also knew how much went into raising children… I was scared to have kids and also scared to get pregnant.

All of those fears fell away while I was pregnant… For the first time in my life, I finally felt like I was whole. I ended up having the most amazing experience being pregnant and you can read about my positive natural birth story in hospital here and then a beautiful home birth.
