Founder of

The Gentle Creative® Logo

I started my coaching company in 2015 believing I had to choose between business success and my own wellbeing. That I had to push past what I knew I needed. That professional meant covering up what I noticed.

What I discovered was that the entrepreneurs who truly thrived weren't ignoring their needs. They were building around them.

I also discovered that the patterns formed in our earliest years quietly shape our business decisions. Beliefs about worthiness, productivity, rest, whether we're allowed to take up space. These aren't mindset problems to overcome. They're protective scripts, written before we could question them, and they're often the real reason strategy alone doesn't work.

This understanding is at the heart of everything I do.

After a decade of working with hundreds of entrepreneurs, I've come to believe that your sensitivity is a strength, your story is your greatest business asset, and sustainable success doesn't require you to abandon what it is you need in your business too.

What Clients Experience

“I'm making 10x the income I was making when I started”

“Space to crack into one of my biggest challenges. The Coming Home Retreat gave me the space and support I've been searching for.”

“I've doubled my income while working fewer hours”

“I created a waitlist within one year”

“The irony is that Rachel's approach is slow and gentle, yet it is truly the fastest I've ever been able to move through my own personal growth.”

“My business feels like coming home to myself, FINALLY”

This is what happens when you honor your whole self while building your business.

Work with me

I offer intimate, high-touch mentorship for creative entrepreneurs who are ready to build businesses that actually honor who they are. Whether through Business Mentorship, Foundational Scripts, or The Coming Home Retreat, the work is always the same: strategic, story-centered, and unhurried.

A little more about me

I'm the author of The CPTSD Journal, a gentle companion for healing that holds the same philosophy I bring to business. Witness your story, honor your wisdom, go at your own pace.

My background includes over a decade of sales and marketing work, a seven-figure career in the product based world and wholesale home décor and gift industry, training in witness work and attunement practices, and studies in unshaming and Re-evaluation Counseling. I hold a B.A. in English and a minor in psychology from Virginia Tech.

I live in the Virginia countryside with my husband and two children and our sweet pets. You'll usually find me with tea, cutting garden flowers, or curled up on the couch with one of our kitties.
