Rachel is very clear that she isn’t here to fix anyone but rather help them overcome, work through and heal whatever is holding them back from stepping into their fullest power and potential for even greater success in life and business.

This involves removing the blocks, changing the beliefs, re-writing the stories and healing the hurts which are holding them back so self-doubt, resistance, self-sabotage, procrastination, limiting beliefs, inner critic, feeling overwhelmed and inadequate become a thing of the past.

She’s a Clinical + Cognitive Hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, EFT practitioner, UK qualified Homeopath + Soul Work teacher. 

She lives in Cheshire with her husband Simon who she met at her sister’s wedding. He was the best man! They have a son and daughter.
