I am Vanessa

I am deeply passionate about supporting the well-being of women and children, and my mission is to guide parents and their little ones toward a harmonious and healthy life. As a pediatric osteopath and shamanic doula, I combine modern research with ancient healing arts to balance the scientific and spiritual aspects of care.

Throughout my work in my own private practice and the neonatal ICU, I’ve supported mothers and babies through tough times. I’ve seen firsthand that women need more than just medical care - they need holistic and individual support. That’s why I founded Rising Mother.

My approach is unique because I bring together my deep scientific knowledge with the shamanic wisdom that was passed down to me from my mother. By weaving together modern medical knowledge and ancient healing traditions, I provide women with a truly holistic and profound level of support.

I believe every woman deserves access to the knowledge and care she needs to experience motherhood with confidence and strength. In this Holistic Doula Training, I am committed to sharing this expertise with you, empowering you to guide women on their own unique journeys.

Vanessa Lachmann

Voices of Rising Mothers

I found Vanessa through recommendations while searching for a pediatric osteopath. During my pregnancy, I felt a strong urge in my breathwork and yoga classes to dive deeper into working with women. That’s when I decided, on a whim, to join the Holistic Doula training. The course content is thorough, deep, and leaves plenty of room for self-reflection and inner work.

Vanessa has a knack for bringing the right women together. She creates and holds the space with such incredible love that it’s easy for me to relax, be raw, and show my vulnerabilities. Every week, I’m blown away by how well the modules and topics align with my mood and where I’m at in life. The live calls are a great mix of sessions with amazing guest lecturers and Vanessa herself. There’s always plenty of time for discussions, questions, and exercises, both individually and with a buddy.

I’ve never felt such an honest and open space with a group of women before, and I’m so proud to be part of this journey. The group’s energy feels like being with friends—caring, supportive, and considerate. I can’t thank Vanessa enough, and I’m so excited for the upcoming modules and what lies ahead. I highly recommend this training to any woman who feels the call to work with women, their babies, and families. If you want to combine solid professional knowledge with modern spirituality, this is the place for you. Whether you have kids or not, Vanessa meets you where you are, sharing her experiences and wisdom honestly and from the heart.

During the last weeks of my pregnancy, I met Vanessa while looking for Holistic Doula. After my first appointment, I was blown away by all the tools and knowledge Vanessa has. Right away, I knew I wanted to learn everything she had to offer. I instantly decided to join the Holistic Doula training. Now, we’re in the middle of the course, and I can already say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

Vanessa pours all her passion, love, and expertise into this training, and she does it in such a loving, compassionate, and powerful way. The group feels like a bunch of friends or sisters who have finally reunited. From the very first moment, it’s been familiar, authentic, loving, honest, and vulnerable. The content of the training is wonderfully organized, with room to address whatever we need at the moment. The topics are super interesting and beautifully presented through videos, scripts, live calls, and audio. There are drum journeys, integration journeys, and there is so much room for our own personal healing and growth.

I recommend this training to every woman, no matter where she is in her life. It’s for any woman who feels called to support other women. Thank you, dear Vanessa, for creating Rising Mother and this incredible training.

It's hard to put into words how much you've inspired and impressed me. This training was so powerful, full of emotional highs and lows. I learned so much, resolved so much within myself, recognized, and accepted so much. Learning from you has been an incredibly enriching experience. It felt like a journey to myself. I’m leaving this training feeling confident and empowered, reminded that we women have everything we need within us and can trust in our strength and potential. This time has made me realize once again that there is a deep primal force within us women, containing everything we need to achieve our goals. Thank you so much, dear Vanessa. This was truly a valuable investment in my life.
