At Sunflower Within, we believe true healing blossoms when the body, mind, and spirit are in harmony. This space was created especially for women—whether you’re preparing for motherhood, navigating fertility challenges, supporting your well-being during pregnancy, or simply seeking balance in the midst of life.

Raquel Mendez, the heart behind Sunflower Within, is a community doula, certified reflexologist, Reiki Master, and yoga teacher. She blends professional training with intuitive guidance to help women release stress, restore energy, and reconnect with their inner vitality. Her approach is gentle, supportive, and rooted in the belief that when your nervous system feels calm and cared for, your body naturally awakens its own healing power. With Raquel’s support, you’re invited to discover your sunflower within—a place of resilience, light, and healing for your body, mind, and spirit.

Testimonials

“I have gone to see Raquel for both of my pregnancies. I had the reflexology done to try to naturally induce my labor. My experience was great. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Her technique was successful both times as I went into labor shortly after the session. I highly recommend going to visit her.”
