“The nature of my business is pretty insane. I've never been anxious, until the past few years. We've been facing nonstop fire drills since 2017, like figure-it-out-or-die. I reached out to Rachel because I had a first class ticket to burnout, and I'm young with a long way to go. I knew that if I didn't change my approach, I wouldn't have as long as I'd like. I also wanted to identify my blind spots as a leader, and put better systems in place internally. We're bootstrapped and had many previous behaviors that didn't scale. It's night and day after working with Rachel. The most valuable thing she did was call me on my sh*t. There were areas where I expected more of my team than I was personally giving, which I cleaned up. I've become a lot more balanced, riding the highs and lows better, and I'm more consistent for my team. I'm 100% better equipped to protect us all from burning out. Counter-intuitively, I feel more in control, even though I try to control less. I highly recommend coaching with Rachel; I think everyone can benefit. Leadership is lonely. Tough and unrelenting situations bring out the worst in anyone, and it's good to have a place to work through that, especially with someone like Rachel, who genuinely cares. We survived another crazy year, and we've nearly doubled our revenue since.”

“I am someone with intense drive, and I spent decades applying it to a path that was challenging, but also safe. When I started working with Rachel, I had all of the necessary credentials under my belt. Although I had multiple graduate degrees and worked as a physician in a successful practice, I knew there was something missing--that I needed more. Rachel helped me create the space to develop my life goals and mission. Slowing down and taking a step back from the traditional workspace was one of the hardest things I’ve done, but our time together transformed my relationship to myself and my career. I found the inspiration and momentum I needed to start integrating holistic thinking into my work. Most importantly she helped me develop the confidence and the courage I needed to begin expressing myself in a very public way. Working with Rachel is not always easy, but it's because she will bring out the best in you. The insight, clarity and heart that she brings to the table is bar none, and you will absolutely be better for it.”

“In a year of working with Rachel, I went from being a poster child for hustle culture—do more, work more, sleep when you're dead—to a state of calm, slowness and flow, even though I still work in a high-stress environment. It's not that I don't have stress or I never over-work any more. I do! But I can guide myself back into balance. I think long-term, in season and years of life, rather than in weeks or months, and I prioritize things that align with my vision for the future. This year my family and I moved to a new city for the adventure. I gave a talk at one of the top conferences in my industry. I had plenty of quality time with my kids. I used to feel I had no control over my time! Now I'm present and enjoying my life, or course correcting if I'm not. Rachel 'taught me to fish' rather than handing me solutions, and while it didn't take a year to learn, I kept going because I enjoyed our time. She's a great coach who will accept you as a whole person, but push you where you need. Our sessions were always a highlight in my calendar.”

“Rachel helped me understand how to maximize the value I get out of my career. She has a great talent for advising on the complex situations that arise working in technology. Her practical process was very enjoyable and useful, and helped deliver on the outcomes we set out to achieve together.”

- Matt, Data Engineer in London

“I used to have a lot of high-highs and low-lows. If I thought I was doing well in other people’s eyes, I was on a high. But little things could send me spiraling. Receiving a bad comment in a performance review, or sensing something was off in a friendship, would make it hard for me to show up to my work and my life. I was so dependent on external validation that if feedback was negative, I'd avoid dinners with friends. Initially I came to coaching to learn to compartmentalize, but I actually learned the power of vulnerability. I began to fear the lows less, and to accept the natural ebbs and flows of life. I began to criticize myself less. I deepened my relationships. I set healthy boundaries for the first time. If previously, my self-worth was 100% extrinsically-sourced, it’s now 50-50, which is what I wanted. People who know me well have actually been commenting on how grounded I am, and I know these skills will be with me for the rest of my life.”

“I was going through a huge transition. It was the middle of quarantine, life was bleak and I was feeling uninspired in my art. Working with Rachel helped me to tap back into my love for my work. I went out and reconnected to my creative community, landed new clients and got accepted to a prestigious group exhibition…during quarantine. Our work set me on a whole new track of inspiration and flow. I’ve just recently had my first solo show, and I attribute my success to the motivation that Rachel helped me find again.”

“Our work has been invaluable in giving me lifelong strategies to build good relationships, making work more enjoyable and be more effective.”

“This was exactly what I needed for my personal growth.”

“Working with Rachel was brilliant. With her help, I developed a much-needed perspective and clarity on issues I was struggling to work through alone.
