I believe that we can be freed from our past.
“Can I be me and still belong?”
We are part of a family. Part of a relationship. Part of a culture. We belong in so many big and small ways.
And yet, over and over again, we feel left out. Lonely. Isolated from others, and even worse, from our true selves.
I believe that life is about so much more than settling and coping. It’s not about learning to “deal with it” and “get over ourselves!”
We are here to burn brightly, dance by the fire, and light the way for others. We are here to break the cycle. We absolutely can turn habits on their heads, create true change in our families, and feel such self-love it brings tears to our eyes.
Good Girls need this self-love especially. We are trained by our culture to avoid conflict at all cost, and not speak up too loudly, for fear that we’ll lose our friends and partners. I specialize in helping Good Girls stop their shaming self-censure and find their true voice, while keeping healthy relationships.
| “I am always surprised at what happens during the session, and that in itself is surprising because I do most of the talking/choosing direction. I shouldn’t really be surprised at the end, because I was making decisions about what to tell you and I was there responding so I already lived through it. But I have been surprised at how transformed I feel, and surprised that the topics we start with turn out that way. You give me myself. What I mean by that is that your guidance results in me having a piece of myself back, and I feel bigger when I leave.” – KH, November 2009 |
| “I have met with therapists and I have seen “energy workers” (generally massage therapists who do energy work), but Rachel combines the two in a way that is unique and very helpful.
I would normally leave a session with an energy worker, perhaps “feeling” something, but really with no understanding of what had just transpired. With Rachel’s work, I felt “included” in the process, and in her intuitive way, she zero’d in on what was “underneath the surface” for me. The work assisted me in moving through both physical and emotional challenges (a nasty cold and a simultaneous break-up). Rachel has wonderful energy, holds a healing space, and will earn your trust, no matter what kind of healing support you are looking for.” |

More than just therapy…this is healing
I offer energy work (light-to-no touch, hands-over healing) in addition to my spiritually based therapy. I believe that the body, mind, emotions and spirit are symbiotically woven together.
Emotions we haven’t expressed or relieved can get stuck in the body as pain or illness. We need to connect to our bodies to learn what our minds can’t figure out or have forgotten in the daily hubbub. Through deep listening, we find powerful information from our hearts, our cells, and Spirit itself.
| “To those among you who don’t know anything about energy work, spend a half hour with Rachel and let her ‘do her thing.’ I was skeptical and didn’t know what to expect. Now I can’t wait to see her again.
Rachel amazed me. Within five minutes of her visit, she pinpointed the imbalance of energy in my office and gave me three easy ways to make it better. She also nailed two personal insights that she couldn’t possibly have known. Call her for one of those free consultations. Once you talk to Rachel, you’ll want to be her next appointment!” |
| “Thanks Rachel for an amazing and deeply grounding energy work session last week. After a non-stop go-go-go outwardly focused time in my life, you really helped me bring my energy back into my being and calm and center myself.” –KK, March 2010 |
You CAN breakthrough
I believe a breakthrough is really just when a person sees through their inner protections and outdated limitations to discover the true power and beauty they had within all along.
| “Rachel is highly skilled at helping people discover, value, and leverage their strengths in powerful ways.” – TB, May 2009 |
| “I just wanted you to know that the time I spent with you was really eye opening. I’ve finally made some headway with a possible career change in to something I love. I use what I learned on a daily basis and I am a happier person for it.” – MW, April 2009 |
| “I’m always thoroughly impressed with Rachel’s abilities. I went in feeling a little drained and left feeling bright and inspired. She’s wonderful. I highly recommend her.” – DC, April 2009 |
| “I was struggling with a lot of issues centered around self-esteem and anger, when a friend recommended Rachel. Rachel impressed me immediately by being open, affirming, and patient while I struggled to find the words to describe what felt wrong. She used her intuition and skill to get at some of the roots of my emotional dysfunctions, and helped me frame them in ways I hadn’t even considered before.
When she sensed that I was building up walls, she changed her approach and used energy work, visualization, role-playing exercises, and supportive encouragement to keep me talking and dealing with my issues. It was easy to trust her almost from the get-go (and I am not by nature a trusting person). Rachel has a sense of humor, which helped to relax me. She always maintained a professional air, while also making sure that I was at ease. Since working with her, I have a deeper understanding of how I work internally, and what I need from my loved ones and myself.” |
| “Thank you for the session. It was really perfect, especially in that it was not what I expected. I knew there must be something behind the issue that was coming up in my mind, and that’s why I came to you, a Spirit Worker, rather than a therapist. You are really gifted and so very appreciated.” –VS, July 2010 |
