Are You the Right Therapist/Healer for Me?
My clients are people who struggle with body image and/or self-esteem issues. They have some sense that they are capable of more in their lives, but they feel stranded in old jobs, challenging relationships and broken ways of doing things.
What all my clients want is a deeper enjoyment of their lives. They want to feel free from old hurts and able to pursue their true loves. They want to be the person they always dreamt of being.
If this is what you want, you should talk to me. The kind of healing you’re seeking is what I love creating for people.
I say I work with “exceptional people” because to me, a person who pursues self-healing even though they lead a functional life IS exceptional.
I believe we do our best work when we’re not starting from the bottom, but rather from a place of resources, a place where we’re not completely desperate, but we also know we could be happier.
“I have been working with Rachel since July 2008 and have noticed amazing changes in my life. Now I am more aware of things I normally would do to sabotage myself. I have a better relationship with my spouse. More meaningful, long-lasting friendships. I have also noticed I am not as easily angered and that I don’t attract the terrible types of people I have in the past. I am really starting to like who I am.” –BP
I Shouldn’t Need a Therapist; I Should Just Get Over Myself and Be Happy
You may be struggling with the idea of hiring a therapist because you think you “should” be able to just tough it out, think it through or push past whatever is holding you back.
When one part of you says it wants something, but another part is fighting against it, tooth and nail, is exactly the time to get a guide.
We all have parts that conflict, which is where most of our insecurity, anxiety, and stuckness comes from.
The way I work takes into account all these “parts” and works with them, not against them, to bring harmony into your inner life.
Imagine being the peaceful and strong leader of your inner landscape, listening to your different needs and wants, yet able to make clear and calm choices for your greatest good.
This is the deeply healing path we walk together, training you to be your own compassionate guide, so eventually you create all the confidence, grace and self-love you’ve ever wanted.
It’s my calling—the gift the Universe has given me, if you will—to work in that kind of sustained depth with other amazing people who then turn around and support more people in their callings.
“I was seriously stuck…and Rachel helped me get past the barriers preventing me from starting my own business. In a full-time corporate job that wasn’t using my expertise or passion, I still was fearful and unclear as to how to proceed with my dreams of doing health & nutrition counseling.
After a few sessions with Rachel, I was able to transgress those energetic blocks that were holding me back. And I’m happy to say that my new business is growing at the perfect pace, and will be giving up my day job shortly!
Rachel’s intuition, skill and empathy made it easy for me to let my guard down and fully explore the nuances of self-exploration.
Each session left me with new sense of confidence and peace. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone who is willing to get past any emotional or professional roadblocks!” — MB
Why Are You a Therapist AND an Energy Healer?
I started out as a psychotherapist, loving to hear people’s stories and show them different perspectives on their lives. And while I saw some benefit to the work, I didn’t feel like my clients were really changing.
After a session, they reported feeling better, but it seemed to me that there should be something more we could do. I felt that more healing was possible.
Energy healing showed up unexpectedly in my life, and first I was taken aback. But then I realized that this was what I had been missing. These tools and techniques created amazing results for my clients and me.
And, although it may sound selfish, what was more important to me was that the energy healing work felt like home.
I use both energy healing and psychotherapy in tandem because together they speak to the mind, the body, the emotions and the spirit.
Energy healing connects more with our bodies and spirit, listening to the information they contain, and benefiting from the non-linear.
Psychotherapy keeps us grounded in reality, helping our brains to apply our learning in practical ways.
Now I take the best of both fields to create a holistic and safe experience for my clients, so they leave each session feeling more connected to themselves, their purpose, and to Love.
“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.” — RR
