ABOUT
RACHEL

I’ve been on a challenging and amazing journey from struggling to heal from my traumatic childhood, into loving myself unconditionally. With everything I’ve learned and gained along the way, I’m here to offer you a guiding, supportive hand to do the same, in your own unique way.
I had a miserable upbringing with parents who argued explosively, and I walked around on eggshells trying to avoid upsetting my volatile and angry Dad. My Mum left home when I was around 9 years old. I grew up living with my Dad and I believed myself to be unlovable and unworthy, as if I didn’t matter. I was neglected, unsupported and terrified of abandonment.
From personal experience, I know how difficult it can be when painful memories and strong emotions resurface for resolution. Healing from my childhood wounds began spontaneously in my late thirties when I reached a tipping point and couldn’t go on as I was.
For the first few years of my spiritual journey it was outrageously intense. I encountered several terrifying dark nights of the soul and at times I found it extremely difficult to navigate regular life and show up as a parent and wife. Unfamiliar energetic sensations occurred in my body, and my spiritual guides began communicating with me as voices in my mind’s eye. I didn’t know who I was anymore, the old me had gone, and that was incredibly disconcerting. I struggled to find my way through day-to-day life, I felt as though I was in a melting pot, waiting to emerge, be reborn, having no clue who I would be going forwards.
Then the dust began to settle, and over time I shifted from having a closed heart, to one blown wide open by Love. I freed myself from tortuous negative thinking, limiting beliefs and suffering that had plagued my life. I became gentle and compassionate with myself, and I forgave myself for everything I’d done and not done. I began to genuinely love myself and others, which changed every single aspect of my life for the better. I now believe I’m lovable, just as I am, and I’m worthy of wonderful things in my life.
Because I’ve been through these challenges, healed from my traumatic childhood and gained considerable wisdom, I’m confident that you can heal yourself too. You can transform your life and the way you feel about yourself, and I’m here to guide you through the sticky parts.
How my spiritual journey began
I stumbled onto my spiritual journey quite by accident. At the time I lived firmly in the world of my logical mind, I wasn’t open to alternative healing and knew nothing about spiritual paths. Back in 2005 a dear friend of mine, Alison, spoke with me at length about the nature of reality and energy healing. She shared with me that she’d healed a shoulder injury through Reiki, a form of energy healing. Now, Alison was a dentist at the time, an intelligent, highly educated person, and my logical mind respected and trusted her. Something deep inside of me listened intently to her every word. I was curious to experience Reiki for myself, so she gave me my very first energy healing session.
As the session progressed, I had an incredibly realistic image of my ribcage opening and black smoke leaving my body. Tears were pouring out of my eyes. I had a sense that it was the emotional weight of my younger years beginning to be released. I was taken aback by that experience, and it was a turning point in my life.
Later that year whilst training to be a Pilates instructor, I developed a nasty respiratory infection, I was diagnosed with asthma. I was guided to have Reiki sessions, and all my symptoms disappeared after just three sessions. That was my convincer of just how powerful energy healing can be at stimulating our body’s innate ability to heal itself, and I felt compelled to learn Reiki for myself. That’s how it all began for me. I moved to America soon after my healing and continued to learn energy healing modalities.
Training
After my arrival in America, I became certified in Reiki, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, hypnosis, I completed two private mentorships to access the Akashic Records with highly regarded teachers, and I completed the Journey Practitioner and Visionary Leadership programs. In 2024 I graduated from the Wayfinder Life Coaching program. I’ve also worked closely with many wonderful and wise mentors over the years.
With every training and mentorship, I healed deeper layers of my childhood issues. I was determined to set myself free from my painful past, and as my life improved, I shared my tools and gifts with clients to help them to do the same.
My spiritual teacher
I became a student of Gangaji’s in 2011, after a good friend recommended her teachings to me. Her words and transmissions spoke directly to my heart and soul. Whilst on silent retreat with her in 2014 I had a life changing experience. For the first time ever, my mind completely stopped, and I fell effortlessly into self-love. I met and danced with the silence and expansiveness at my core, and the need to fix myself vanished.
To this day she is my mothership, a truly remarkable spiritual teacher who has repeatedly shown me where true home lies, in my heart of hearts.
My deep desire to be of service
As a seasoned traveler on the healing journey, with plenty of effective transformational tools and intuitive gifts, I’m passionate about assisting you to release what no longer serves you, returning to wholeness and experiencing more self-love in your life. I’m right here, offering a loving, steady hand to you, ready to guide you to make miraculous shifts in your life, boosting your levels of joy and worthiness.
And so it is!
