business strategy that honors your whole self.
Let’s get into it. You’ve tried the traditional business advice. Push through. Do more. Be everywhere. But your body has been trying to protect you, and you know it’s time to finally listen.
I believe business strategy should honor your whole self, not override your innate wisdom.
This means crafting approaches that respect your energy cycles, celebrating your sensitivity as strength, and building sustainable success without requiring you to abandon your boundaries or ignore your own wisdom just to hit the next goal.
If you’ve experienced burnout, find yourself caught in over-functioning patterns, or struggle to trust your own instincts in your brand, you know that one-size-fits-all strategies don’t work for an attuned entrepreneur like you.
Sink into this reality. Your business gets to be a reflection of who you are when you feel safe, seen, and valued because that’s exactly the energy your ideal clients are searching for.
Your journey has led you exactly to here.
my story.
Celebrating 10 years!
It’s been a decade for me of learning that business doesn’t have to break you. Ten years ago, I started my company believing I had to choose between business success and my well-being. I thought “professional” meant covering up my sensitivity, and “growth” meant pushing past my limits with each new goal.
What I discovered changed everything: the entrepreneurs who thrived (the ones that I admired the most) weren’t ignoring their needs. They were honoring them.
Over the past decade, I’ve learned that over-functioning patterns developed for good reasons, but they were protection for an old life I no longer lived inside. I’ve embraced awareness as the giant superpower it is, and I finally got to the place where my need for gentleness wasn’t seen as weakness, because it was my wisdom.
My desire to do business differently isn’t rose-colored glasses; it’s necessary for me to actually live what my dreams are made of.
These ten years have taught me that real transformation happens slowly, then all at once. Not through force, but through gentle, consistent support.

This is your gentle introduction to working together. A 45-minute, no-pressure conversation where we explore what’s really going on in your business and life.
We’ll talk about where you’re feeling stuck, what patterns might be keeping you small, and what you’re really dreaming of. This isn’t a sales call disguised as support – it’s genuine guidance whether we work together or not.
Many entrepreneurs leave this call with immediate clarity and actionable next steps. Others discover they’re ready for deeper, ongoing support. Either way, you’ll feel heard, understood, and less alone in your journey.
Book your free consultation to experience what trauma-informed business coaching feels like.

This is my intimate, 10-month journey for women ready to build businesses that honor their healing while creating sustainable success. Limited to just 12 women, this isn’t your typical business program.
We meet weekly for group coaching that feels more like gathering with wise friends. You’ll learn your own business strategy woven together with nervous system awareness, boundary-setting tools, and gentle accountability that actually motivates instead of overwhelms.
Between calls, you’re supported by a private community where vulnerability is welcomed, wins are celebrated (no matter how small), and you’re surrounded by women who understand the unique challenges of building a business while healing.
This program is for you if you’re tired of forcing yourself into business strategies that ignore your humanity, ready to trust your intuition as your best business advisor, and are committed to doing business in a way that supports you instead of hijacking your capacity to always do more.

Each week, you’ll receive what my readers call “balm for the overwhelmed entreprenuer.” It’s my weekly love letter to sensitive entrepreneurs navigating the intersection of business and healing.
These aren’t your typical business newsletters filled with tactics and shoulds. Instead, expect gentle wisdom about honoring your energy, real talk about the challenges of entrepreneurship when you’re highly sensitive, and practical tools for building a business that supports your whole self.
Recent readers have shared: “I look forward to Wednesdays because I know I’ll feel less alone,” and “Your newsletter is the only business advice that doesn’t make me feel like I’m doing everything wrong.”
With open rates consistently above 45%, these letters clearly land in the right hearts. Join hundreds of sensitive entrepreneurs who’ve found their weekly dose of permission to do business differently.

Professional Bio
Rachel Camfield is a gentle business coach who specializes in working with creatives who’ve experienced burnout, the impact of trauma, and who find themselves caught in over-functioning patterns. For ten years, she’s been helping intentional entrepreneurs build businesses and grow brands that celebrate their authenticity rather than requiring them to perform or recreate someone else’s version of success.
Her approach combines practical business strategy with body and being awareness, creating sustainable growth that honors both healing journeys and entrepreneurial dreams. She believes that your sensitivity is your superpower, your boundaries are wisdom, and your desire to do business differently is exactly what the world needs.
When she’s not coaching or writing, you’ll find her enjoying the quiet country air and a slower pace with her family, cutting and arranging fresh flowers, and scooping up vintage finds. She lives outside of Richmond, Virginia and serves heart-centered entrepreneurs worldwide through her intimate coaching program and weekly newsletter that readers describe as “permission slips for honoring your dreams and needs.”
Rachel is passionate about creating safe spaces where intentional entrepreneurs can build successful brands without sacrificing their well-being. She believes the world is better with your unique gifts and story in it.
