About Rachel:

Co-Founder (with Nasreen El-Mariesh) of Women are the Medicine, Certified Narrative Coach and Third Wave Integration coach working with the modalities of story, somatics, and psychedelics. Rachel’s practice is built around coaching people at thresholds in life, when it can feel like identity is disintegrating and people find themselves in flux and uncertainty. She’s a trauma-sensitive coach (having been on her own journey to come to terms with childhood trauma) and loves to pull on the power of archetypes, dreamwork, and creativity in accessing and integrating psyche. Rachel is also a corporate escapee who overcame her left-brained business consultancy background to develop a fluid, intuitive coaching style, and loves to support other women to connect to their meaning and purpose.
