Slowing down. Receiving support. Connecting with self and listening well.

These things may sound hard to do. But at some point, they are the way to finally create peace.

With trauma-informed coaching, we build a pathway to come home to yourself.

From there, your life and work shifts into a trusting and empowering path and a beautiful life. 

A gentle place to enter

A GOOD FIT FOR YOU IF:

You don't want to do this alone. You want ongoing gentle support, monthly videos, and connection that meets you exactly where you are.

RACHEL’S VIDEOS SPEAK TO SOMETHING DEEPER EVERY TIME

“I walk away feeling more connected to myself and the mission for my work every time I tune in with Rachel. She helped me go from overwhelmed to inspired and focused when I thought all was lost.”

9-week small group

Foundational Scripts | A 9-week small group intensive

The survival patterns you learned in life are still running you today. Foundational Scripts is where you find them, name them, and begin to rewrite them in the intimate company of others who are ready to be set free too.

A GOOD FIT FOR YOU IF:

You've sensed that the thing getting in the way of your business isn't strategy, it's something much older and deeper. You're ready to look at it, and you want the support of a small, carefully held group to do it alongside.

THIS PROGRAM GAVE ME PERMISSION TO EXPLORE WHO I TRULY AM

“This program is truly powerful. The process helped me unburden myself from the mental weight I have been carrying around my whole life. How I feel a week after the end of the program: Free. Lighter. More direct. More present. Less overthinking. More confident.”

Light a Candle

Disconnection can show up in many different ways… overwhelm, harshness, and isolation. That’s why I created this journal to help you turn disconnection into creation.

What Becomes Possible for You

These aren't overnight transformations. They're testimonies to what happens when you honor both your healing journey and what you’re here to build.

TRANSFORMED IDENTITY

Rachel’s coaching changes your identity, and that is the work.”

“Through our work together, what I had accepted for myself was revealed. I saw how I’d built my whole life in accordance with what works for other people. I was living within everyone else’s choices. Rachel gave me tools I can use moment to moment to look at the core pattern beneath everything I’m experiencing. Honestly, I don’t know that I would be able to honor this truth, rather than push it under the rug, had we not done this work together.”

BECAME AN EMPOWERED VERSION OF SELF

“I am not the same woman I was five months ago.”

I never could have known I could become this version of myself without Rachel’s coaching. The way she creates space and witnesses you is transformative. Her love and genius have changed me.”

GAINED NEW FREEDOM

My inner world has shifted seismically.”

“I’ve been in and out of therapy for almost 30 years. I have done everything I could possibly do to heal. All it took was four sessions with Rachel’s gift for witnessing and holding sacred space, and my inner world shifted seismically. I didn’t recognize the woman looking back at me in the mirror but in the best way possible. I no longer saw someone I was trying to fix, I saw someone I deeply loved. I haven’t just changed, I’ve become more of my truest self through Rachel’s coaching.”

STARTED REWRITING PATTERNS

“Rachel’s coaching fundamentally changed my relationship to the patterns I’ve been existing within for my entire life.”

“Through her artfully crafted, gentle process, I was given permission to go back to the places where the deepest pain was nestled and evolve those patterns. Her expert guidance and tender holding, combined with being fully witnessed, brought a miraculous transformation to my life, my work, and the version of me that shows up for my family and clients.”
