Beyond the split of separation lies the power of presence. Learn to meet your child’s divinity with your own.
We are currently moving through a profound recalibration of the human experience where the old systems of control are being stripped away by a direct, lived frequency of the heart. The era of “shaping” or “raising” children has ended, and a new era of meeting the children as they are in truth has begun.
Raising Love is a place for parents and stewards of children to gather during in this transition of harmonic emergence. It is a call to the stewards, parents, and guardians of children to let go of the past and move into radiant guidance that lives from within You.
Presence is our greatest gift to the children.
We support parents and those active in the lives of children to ground their clarity and steady presence. This invites children to feel seen, heard, and met, so that they may freely express their soul’s intention.
Together, let us support you to…
Clear your lenses
Stabilize in open perception
Protect the children from corruptive influences
… so that our children, families, and villages may truly thrive in the new world we are creating.

Meet Dara
Dara Knerr,
Craniosacral Therapist, Doula, Mentor
For over 40 years, I have been listening deeply to babies, children, and parents through the higher heart—supporting families in coming into greater connection, embodiment, and alignment from the very beginning of life.
I am a Prenatal and Birth Therapy Practitioner with more than 25 years of experience, including two decades of advanced training with Dr. Ray Castellino at the BEBA Clinic in Santa Barbara. My work includes extensive support for twins and multiples, as well as babies and families navigating trauma, overwhelm, or medical challenges.
I am also a Registered Craniosacral Therapist of 25+ years, with five years of training at the Colorado School of Energy Studies in Boulder, and a longtime certified Doula of over 40 years. As a retired IBCLC lactation consultant, I bring a deeply integrated understanding of the physical, emotional, and energetic needs of both baby and parent.
My approach weaves together Prenatal & Birth Therapy, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Somatic Integration, Intuition Medicine, Sound Healing, and sacred space holding. I serve as a mentor, guide, and “soul midwife,” supporting the conscious arrival and integration of new life.
I work with parents who may feel isolated, overwhelmed, low in energy, or uncertain—helping them clear, ground, and reconnect with themselves and their child, so they can move forward with greater trust, vitality, and coherence as a family.
I currently offer 1:1 mentoring (in person and via Zoom), as well as The Virtual Village, a supportive space for connection, learning, and shared experience in early parenthood. I also facilitate group circles, blessingway ceremonies, and healing sessions for pregnancy, birth, childhood, and beyond.

Shared Experiences
“Honestly, I didn’t believe working on Zoom was going to work. My baby was super fussy. I was at my wits end. He cried during a lot of the session. Dara quickly helped me see what was happening. Tears flowed. I didn’t know babies feel so much. He feels everything! I can pause now and check in, and I feel more confident. Jacob is a happy baby, he rolled over yesterday! Thank you so much!”
~Amy B., Texas
“A session with Dara is like seeing God.“
~M.D. from Sausalito California
