I believe that women are innately soft, sensual, creative and powerful — but so many of us have forgotten how to access this precious part of ourselves. This feminine essence nourishes the heart, awakens the spirit and unlocks our greatest potential.
When we align with the ways of the feminine — attuning to the cycles of nature, flowing with the seasons of life, honoring sisterhood and embodying our inner beauty and wisdom, we become more connected, healthy and whole.
Softness is strength and you are your own best medicine.
I’m Rachel Rossitto — a mentor, facilitator and guide devoted to helping women feel nourished, embodied and radiant from the inside out.
Feminine WISDOM · ROSE MEDICINE · HOLISTIC HEALING · SACRED ARTS
At rock bottom, I began a deep healing journey to honor my body, awaken my creativity and remember my purpose.
Through my work, I support women in reconnecting with their inner wisdom, the cycles of nature and the beauty of their own soft, tender, intuitive selves. I believe in slow living, sacred beauty and the power of ritual to transform our everyday lives into something holy and meaningful.
How it all began...
my origin story
I was born at home, raised on a macrobiotic diet and homeschooled until I was 10. Much of my childhood was spent in yoga and meditation ashrams, as both of my parents were spiritual practitioners. From an early age, I was immersed in the rhythms of inner listening and holistic living.
In college, I majored in World Religion and Eastern Philosophy, then moved to New York City in my early twenties. Like many women, I lost my way — falling into burnout, anxiety and disconnection.
For the past 15 years, I’ve studied earth-based feminine wisdom, womb healing, priestess temple arts, energy medicine, tea ceremony, plant alchemy, eastern philosophy and devotional ritual. Along the way, the Rose found me — not just as a flower, but as a teacher, mirror and guide.
Since I was a little girl I've been sensitive to energy and could intuitively read people and situations. I experienced everything as energy. I could pick up on things that weren't visible to the eye, but were undeniably present. This was a huge gift on one hand, but also a burden on the other. I've spent the last 7 years in this masters program learning how to work with energy in a skillful and empowered way to support the healing journey of myself and the women I serve.

My mother gave birth to me at home with the assistance of her doula and midwife. It was a beautiful experience for both of us and was the seed for a deep and sacred bond between them which continues to grow even more beautiful over the years. This inspired me to become a birth doula through Birth Arts International. I also completed my 45-hour prenatal yoga teacher training at Mama Tree with Jane Austin in San Francisco.

In my early 20s I longed for a daily meditation practice but nothing I tried stuck, until Art of Living came into my life. I learned a very powerful breathing technique called Sudarshan Kriya that changed my life. For the past 8 years I've studied closely with the founder of the organization Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and I have practiced and taught these techniques ever since. I continue to deepen my study of this Vedic lineage by practicing silence for 5 days twice a year, taking courses, practicing the techniques daily and reading ancient texts. I'm so deeply grateful for these gifts.

I was raised eating healthy foods on a macrobiotic diet and quickly learned the powerful healing qualities of clean eating – but I also learned that eating healthy food isn't enough to be a whole, healthy person. It's vital to consider our relationships, career, spirituality and creativity and how they factor into our overall well being. With a passion for wellness, I studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to gain the tools needed to guide myself and others toward health and happiness.

I received my 200-Hour interdisciplinary yoga teacher training and 100-hour “Let Your Yoga Dance” teacher training certification through the Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. I am incredibly grateful to my teachers Don and Amba who provided a nurturing environment for me to blossom and grow in new ways through their emphasis on experiential learning and encouragement to look to my own inner wisdom. Their approach to yoga is one of self-inquiry and discovery, and I find myself continuously growing through this daily practice.

Slowly, she unfurls – revealing herself petal by petal, not rushing or forcing, but softening and opening when she is ready.
The Rose has been a profound teacher throughout my life.
She came to me during my dark night of the soul, whispering through the delicate chambers of my own heart. Through her, I learned how to honor myself as sacred — like the flower — how to hold healthy boundaries — like the thorn — and how to revere the cycles and seasons of life as we see in the bud, the full blossom and even the dried petals that fall away.
The Rose has taught me what true sovereignty and divine union look like, not as ideals, but through lived experience — through love and loss, heartbreak, losing myself and finding my way home again.
She is a master healer and ancient teacher of love, here to remind us of our wholeness.
The Temple of the Rose emerged over many years through my own lived experience — shaped by seasons of love and heartbreak, healing, pilgrimage and prayer. It revealed itself slowly, through deep listening and devotion to the Divine Mother.
