About Us

About Innate Traditions:

Innate Traditions exists to midwife a cultural shift- where innate wisdom, personal authority and the sanctity of LIfe are centered and honored. We work with people across disciplines and geographies to: unlearn destructive belief systems that disconnect humanity from each other and from Life; re-member humanity’s original blueprint; and positively impact the respective communities to which we belong. 

Our primary commitment is to maternal health and the revival of true postpartum care.

Women are the heart, the foundation of the people. Supporting Mothers supports healthy and empowered families, which supports thriving communities, which supports all of humanity.

Postpartum care is one of the most effective ways to care for future generations, because children’s health is contingent upon Maternal health. Our signature training- INNATE Postpartum Care - Certification Training has been attended by birth and healthcare providers from 35 states and over 20 countries.

About Rachelle Seliga

Rachelle Seliga is a Mother and Midwife who is midwifing a cultural shift through her teachings, trainings and in-person experiences. She is a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM)— through the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) who completed 8 years of traditional midwifery apprenticeship, spanning both the US and Mexico.

Rachelle embraces the original meaning of the word ‘midwife,’ which is caretaker of the people's health from ‘womb to tomb.' Learn more about Rachelle’s vision HERE.

Hands-on, life experience informs all of Rachelle’s work, and forms a strong basis of INNATE Postpartum Care - Certification Training, where students learn simple, empowering modalities that bring about true healing and vibrant health for postpartum Mothers and families.

In addition to her midwifery training, Rachelle trained in Holistic Pelvic Care with Tami Lynn Kent, uterine massage with the Arvigo Institute, and traditional breast care with several mentors - the practices which informed her in-person "Holistic Well-Woman Care Practice" for several years. 

At the age of 23, Rachelle was adopted by traditional medicine people: Kanucas Durant Littlefish and Donna Maria Camps, who mentored her in holistic healing arts, and encouraged her to pick up the responsibility and privilege for her own Life.

In gratitude and reverence for this mentorship she received as a young adult, Rachelle created Fourth Cycle: Mentorship for Initiated Womanhood, where young women, ages 21-28 are supported in their reclamation of mature adulthood. Learn more about Fourth Cycle HERE.

Together with her elder Donna Maria and Juan Garcia, Rachelle founded Starseed Root to be the land based, experiential expression for their collective work. It’s core mission is to exist as a revilllaging project and school of traditioinal healing. Starseed Root works from the understanding that tending to the physiological design of human life (versus forcing our physiological design into societal frameworks) is one of the best ways to assure thriving life for humanity.

Starseed Root is centered around four major pillars of content, emphasizing the life-skills essential to forging new, healed ways forward: Re-villaging, The Primal Continuum of Human Life, Healing Ceremonies, and Healing Workshops. Starseed Root was birthed from the understanding that: the most effective and powerful usage of our collective energy comes from creating structures and systems that support Life and our connection to it.
