Hi, I'm Rachel

I’m so glad you’re here. I help intentional, creative people come home to themselves. Clients are usually shocked that we don’t do this by adding more to your plate! And I’m not going to hand you a list of everything you're doing wrong either.

Our coaching work focuses on helping you thrive where you already are in the life you’ve been building.

What I believe

I do not believe that you need a total overhaul. So much of what feels like a personal failing is actually a story we inherited. It looks like the way we push past our own needs, the guilt that shows up the moment we consider resting, and the sense that if we were doing it right, it would already be working.

Many of the ways we are limiting ourselves are through Foundational Scripts, handed down, and played out on our behalf on autopilot. Whoever you are on autopilot is someone who is strong and who has kept you safe. We wrap our arms around her and say “thank you.”

The inner journey together is this: Discover Your Inner Authority, Reclaim Your Vitality, Find Freedom in Every Season. This is the actual shape of our coaching work, and with support, you learn how to hear from your own body, use your voice, tap into the wisdom that’s been with you all along.

How I work

We begin each session with witness work. I hold space for you the way you already hold space for everyone else in your life. We build from there at the pace of safety and trust.

We don't cut parts of you out. We don't shame the doer, the over-giver, the one who's kept everything running. These parts are not a problem. They are part of the whole. My work is helping you bring them home, so they can rest alongside you and your life.

Who this is for

My unique style of coaching works best for the person who has felt the guilt of wanting more for yourself and you haven’t known what to do with that. If you've tried a complete overhaul, brand new morning routines, and it didn't stick for you because it was never sustainable to begin with, you are welcome here. If you're ready for something more nourishing, more life-giving, built from the inside out, this is a gentle coaching home.

I'd love to walk alongside you.

I've spent thirteen years learning directly from my mentor, psychotherapist and life coach Laurel Holland, whose guidance shaped both who I am and how I coach. After a decade of working with clients here to build lives and work that fits who they are, I've come to believe that your sensitivity is a strength, your story is your greatest asset, and sustainable success doesn't require you to abandon what it is you need.

You get to be whole and held, too.
