Rachel Jeanty is a spiritual being navigating a human experience, devoted to the lifelong path of holding more light. Her awakening began in 2013 at a Tony Robbins Unleash the Power Within seminar, a moment that reshaped her purpose and set her firmly on the path of spiritual service.

Blending academic discipline with mystical study, Rachel weaves her BBA in Marketing and M.A. in TESOL with years of teaching, former Waldorf teacher and children’s storytelling, including her book The Chavo Cuentos of Zito and Lilis. Her nature‑based after‑school initiative, Children of the Sun, and her current offering: Mommy and Me, both reflect her dedication to nurturing the next generation through imagination, connection, sound, and light. Her upcoming book: You are a Solar Powered Being-Summer Solstice.

Her spiritual foundation is rich and lived: the Munay‑Ki rites received in the sacred landscapes of Arizona, yoga and Reiki training in Miami, and a deepening devotion to sound and water blessing.

Now rooted in Mount Shasta, CA, Rachel continues her service through I AM CRANE WELLNESS. With her son, Seth, by her side, she offers sound healings, retreats designed to open the heart, awaken remembrance, and align each soul with its highest purpose.

Raised in deep connection with the natural world, Sary developed an intuitive ability to listen to and learn from plants, animals, and the wisdom of nature. Her personal healing journey led her to the transformative practices of Aikido and Somatics, which helped her deepen her understanding of embodiment, connection, and the body's innate capacity to heal.

Today, her work is rooted in the art of listening—creating space for greater connection to self, community, and the natural world. Through bodywork, somatic coaching, sound therapy, nature-based healing, custom tea consultations, and workshops, she supports others in reconnecting with their own wisdom and well-being. Grounded in a deep relationship with the land, she offers a nurturing presence that invites healing, balance, and transformation.
