The Choosing Woo Podcast
Choosing Woo is a space for honest conversations about self-connection, regulation, and living with awareness in a world that often feels overwhelming; grounding science, embodiment, and spirituality in real, human experience. Rach is a breathwork facilitator and ex-nurse who supports women in reconnecting with their bodies, boundaries, and inner sense of safety. Her work is shaped by lived experience, nervous system awareness, and a belief that healing comes from learning how to stay present with ourselves.
