Care for Parents That’s Both Credentialed and Personal

Hi, I’m Rachael Bardnell, founder and practitioner at The Whole Parent Collective. I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Perinatal Mental Health–Certified clinician, and I’ve lived through my own version of what likely brought you here: hyperemesis, birth trauma, and postpartum anxiety. Reach out whenever you’re ready. I’d love to be part of your story next.

 Common Questions About Perinatal Somatic Therapy Before Booking

  • Perinatal somatic therapy is body-based support for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum that works with your nervous system, not just your thoughts. Rather than only talking through what happened, as a perinatal therapist in Columbus, OH, Rachael works with how it’s still showing up in your body today, so healing can happen on both levels.

  • Both! Rachael is a perinatal therapist near you in Columbus, OH, and also sees clients virtually anywhere in the state, whichever fits your life right now.

  • Rachael reviews every request within one business day and will reach out to find a time that works for your schedule. From there, we’ll get your first session on the calendar and start at whatever pace feels right for you.

  • If you'd like to start by asking Rachael a question, use the form above. Or, if you'd like to book a free consultation to talk it through first, you can do that here, too.
