​Rachel is so patient, flexible, and genuinely compassionate. It makes all the difference. Transitioning from old habits to new ones can be stressful and vulnerable, especially around food and true nourishment. That attitude of love and genuine desire for my wellness gave me the support I needed and the space to breathe when I was overwhelmed.  The reiki and meditations were very powerful. Rachel’s ability to direct and tune into energy even from afar impressed me by what I felt in my body, the shifts and the deep relaxation. She gave the right amount of support and the right amount of space here too, for me to sense into myself without feeling alone. The inclusion of these elements in the coaching program was also super key for me, because so much of the resistance to habit change is in your deep rooted beliefs and conditioning. The work with the body and awareness helps to bring space for change to occur on a sustainable real level.  The “homework” for the week was always helpful, and the organization of notes and context for me to reference in email allows me to go back still and try what I may have missed. I found we struck the right balance of goals - not too many and not too few. I was challenged without burning out or forgetting. You emphasized kindness to myself and were always there to respond via text and give new perspectives or to reflect my worth. I appreciated the voice memos too.  Rachel’s uniquely friendly and calming, loving and knowledgeable. In the sensitive space we hold around food and our relationship to it, she is a perfect coach.
