Hello! I’m Rachel.

 

I am a certified Life Purpose & Career Coach, Executive Coach, Master NLP Practitioner, and Certified Senior Yoga Teacher.

My first life was as a registered nurse and midwife in London, England. I worked in healthcare for more than 30 years in Canada and the UK. In 2003 I branched into coaching, and since then have spent over 2500 hours helping people in all walks of life through a variety of challenges in their personal and professional lives, supporting them to be the best version of themselves.

Whether you want to improve your relationships, get clear on your personal and professional goals, or navigate stress, my virtual toolbox houses a variety of resources from eastern and western approaches, personal development, conflict management and neuroscience, mindfulness and psychology.


Coaching is a transformative process of self-discovery, that’s focused on closing the gap between where you are now and where you want to be in the future. That’s the exciting part. Sessions are interactive, collaborative, and customized to meet your unique needs and desires, to consider all parts of your life and the many roles and expectations that are placed on you. In a confidential and safe space, we co-create magic. That means that we look at new possibilities, new ways of communicating. My job is to help you uncover your brilliance, as an individual and as a leader. We are all leaders in this world, whether we like to think of ourselves as leaders or not, we are; as parents, business owners, leaders in our communities, and leaders of a team. We’re all leaders.

If you’d like to explore the possibilities of your potential, please reach out and we’ll set up a 15 minute phone call.

Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
