What It Means to Me to Be a Medicine Woman
Have you ever felt the quiet nudge that you’re here for something deeper?
Not to fix others—but to remember who you are?
To hold space… not just for others, but for yourself?
In this episode, I open my heart and share what it truly means—for me—to walk the path of the medicine woman.
Not as a role, or a trend, or a title… but as a sacred remembering.
You’ll hear how this path unfolded through presence, listening, ancestral wisdom, and the body’s own rhythms.
Key Reflections in this episode:
- What a medicine woman is not—and why this matters
- How I read energy through the body before words are spoken
- Why presence is more healing than any tool
- A powerful story of womb care and prevention
- The rhythm I live by: honoring moon, womb, and seasonal flow
This episode is a gentle invitation to soften, to listen, and maybe… to remember a part of yourself that’s already walking this path.

ABOUT RACHEAL | AYNI THE MEDICINE WOMAN
Racheal, known as Ayni the Medicine Woman, is a sacred space holder, intuitive healer, and guide for women seeking to remember who they are beyond the roles they’ve been told to play. Rooted in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the rhythms of the menstrual cycle, and the sacred art of energetic healing, she gently leads others through deep emotional, ancestral, and spiritual transformation.
After 12 years of giving endlessly in a marriage that left her depleted, Racheal reclaimed her truth through a journey of self-remembrance—learning to honor her needs, rest before collapse, and receive with grace. The name Ayni came to her during a time of great inner winter, as a sacred reminder that healing happens through balance: between giving and receiving, strength and softness, self and others.
Today, she supports women in embodying their truth, reconnecting with their cycles, and creating space for their own care—so they no longer break themselves to serve the world, but rise from overflow.
