I’m Rachael Cannard, a Digital Alchemist, Grief Tender, and Ritualist devoted to bridging the sacred and the systemic.

My work weaves technology, intuitive intelligence, ceremony, and personal healing into transformational containers for soul-led individuals and communities.

I’ve walked many paths – corporate systems manager, festival operations lead, creative entrepreneur, web designer, healer, patient, priestess. Each thread has shaped me. Each unraveling has called me home to a deeper truth.

For years, I lived in the realm of “doing”… managing events, running teams, building brands. Then life cracked me open. Chronic illness became my initiation. Through darkness, I was invited into mystery. I surrendered, slowly, deeply… and began a path of intuitive devotion that reoriented everything.

What emerged is a body of work rooted in remembrance.

I guide clients into the architecture of their own wholeness – through ceremony, circle, strategic systems, and sacred digital spaces.

Whether you meet me in ritual, in circle, or through digital temple design, you’ll find the same core intention: to restore clarity, coherence, and connection to the divine within and around you.

This is a space for our becoming… yours and mine. 

What I want to acknowledge in this space…

I acknowledge that I come from a place of privilege… white, settler, educated, housed, and able-bodied. My ancestors were both the colonisers and the colonised. They carried out deep injustice in the name of empire. And they first severed themselves from their own roots, rituals, and reverence, then inflicted the same pain upon countless cultures. I am both the beneficiary and the inheritor of these wounds. It is my responsibility to name this, to reckon with it, and to work toward repair. I acknowledge my roots, Croatian, English and French.

To the First Nations people of this land upon which I live, work and play, whose sovereignty has never been ceded, I offer my deepest respect to the Yuggera Ugarapul elders, past, present & emerging who carry wisdom and custodianship of country through the fire of horrific trauma inflicted by my ancestors. I acknowledge the ongoing grief caused by colonisation, and I commit to listening, learning, and acting in solidarity. Thank you for sustaining such deep relations with country and waters and demonstrating the power of right relationship with our Mother Earth.  

To my ancestors, known and unknown, thank you for your strength, your songs, your stories. I am here because of you. To my family, my first teachers, thank you for the lessons in love, loss, and living. To the friends that hold me with such tenderness and patience, thank you for your love, support and for the endless hours of meandering through conversations that fill my cup.

I acknowledge and thank all my teachers, formal and informal, local and non-local.

Rachael is so beautiful to work with. Deeply sensitive and intuitive.

Her wisdom and guidance is something I return to again and again.

I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Rachael and I made some magic the other day and she helped me find my sneaky saboteur and my deep deep fear of being worthy of my power, which went straight to the heart of the matter for me and I just hadn’t been able to do that alone. When she intuitively said “you already have a great connection with Mother Earth don’t you” I knew she was on it because it is incredible strong at the moment. You are exceptional Rachael.
