I see Rachael, and have referred many of my friends to her, because she is really good at what she does. She listens, is helpful and is a straight up real-talking teller of truth. What I like most about her is that she's very goal-oriented while also being focused on the present. From her I have learned about self-care, self-love and mindfulness. These things can be overwhelming to approach alone. Having someone there to keep you accountable and check in on you while you are going through something difficult is essential to healing and being the best person you can be.

Rachael pushed me to overcome my inertia of being ‘stuck’ and not making progress in my life. I can honestly say that i am different person now than two years ago, in almost every way. My confidence has increased dramatically and for the first time in a long time I have felt proud and optimist about my future.
Rachael is very professional while still being able to engage casually - it allows for open and honest dialogue. She gets to the salient points fast, no rambling, no blah blah blah, and creates structure in sessions. She asks tough probative questions that a client may feel reluctant to address for various reasons, but which are in most cases the obstacles that need to be acknowledged and health with to bring about real change. She employs various techniques that are tailored to her clients.
Julian, 42, Paramedic
"I feel comfortable with Rachael and can say anything to her without the fear of being judged or rejected or feeling embarrassed. I know she will understand what I’m saying and how I’m feeling regardless of what it is"
"I always leave feeling ready to get into action and clearer than I did before."
"100% move forward if you're thinking about working with her- she will be honest about how/if she can help you with your situation"
Julie, 25, Lulu Lemon
Since starting my sessions with Rachael, I find myself able to think more clearly. I feel much more confident in myself and am able to focus better on the things I want. Her insightful perspective and advice have opened my eyes to seeing life more positively - despite the circumstances we face each day - big or small.
Rhea, 29
I leave my sessions with Rachael with a specific plan of action and a sense of clarity and optimism. I’ve developed effective self-care strategies. I’ve increased my self-esteem and self-acceptance. I’ve realized that I am capable of having more of a positive impact on my own life than I thought.
James, 24, Musician
"The concepts I've learned, like living in the moment, always challenging the way I am thinking, trusting others, and most importantly - trusting myself, has gotten me far in life, and I know with time it'll get me farther."
Mercedes, 26, Student
Rachael has helped me realize the importance of balance! I tend to be a work-a-holic and I've learned how to enjoy life now while still pursuing my goals.
Alfred, 30, Musician/Music Teacher/Producer
I don't know what to say... when you meet her, you'll just get it... you'll vibe with her. She lets you sit on the couch whichever way you want... we can have fun and joke around while still talking about real stuff and being productive. It never feels like it's her job... it feels like she just naturally knows what I need to hear and how to keep me growing.
Sydeny, 24, Student
" 'Artful Thinking' is absolutely necessary. I've realized how important it is to change your thoughts about something because it's only our thoughts that create a situation to be a problem or not. Our thoughts create how we feel. Our thoughts create our depression and anxiety, our happiness and our success. If you want to see changes, you must change. 'When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change'."
"She is very skilled at teaching concepts related to personal development.. she can help you change your life - book an appointment with her now!"
Andrew, 33, GO Transit Operator
My time with Rachael has been extremely progressive and valuable. I have grown tremendously from working with her. Over the last 10 months, I have transformed into a more self assured and outgoing individual. I've learned to love myself for everything that I am and continue to be the wonderful person that I am, despite the challenges or anxieties I may face. I can now face the world without second guessing myself.
Anna, 24, Fashion writer and Freelance Stylist
Rachael is amazing! I would her to anyone who is going through a rough time in their life. She listens with no judgment. Walking out of her office you will feel like a whole new person and it's the best feeling ever! She'll help you shine the light to get through the darkness in your life. Every week she gives me a task to do for the week and ti's a take that is going to help me better myself in the future. I like her positive support towards me.
Trish, 29, Entrepreneur, Behaviour Therapist
Rachael is very intuitive, understanding, patient and dedicated. I felt safe and accepted and able to express myself freely! She encouraged me to feel love for myself, accept uncertainty and if all else fails get out of my head and into my body.
Tina, 35, Business Owner
I feel stronger and more empowered. I definitely feel a lot more in control of my life, a lot more centred. I would recommend Rachael to anyone feeling unfulfilled in their life! She intuitively knows just what to teach you and the knowledge she imparts plants a seed inside you.
Raine, 39, Real Estate Agent/Bartender/Actress
"I left feeling energized... I could see my reactions clearer, and my life clearer."
"I would say go open-minded - be prepared to look deeply perhaps at some area you wouldn't have thought about. Very soon if you follow Rachael's coaching life will change for the better, or you will leave a workshop/retreat feeling renewed."
"I learnt that in my life I've constructed thought patterns of how to deal with things. Some are good, but some cause problems. If you can change your thought process towards the issue, there can be real positive changes."
Belinda, 50, Writer
Since seeing Rachael I have moved out on my own, fallen in love, worked hard for an amazing promotion at a job I love and built strong and encouraging habits in my own life.
For years I believed that I wasn’t worthy of anyone’s time and that I was just slowly passing through life miserable and unmotivated. I now see, with Rachael’s help, that life is worth living and something that I want to fight for every day. If I have a bad day, I’m never ashamed or embarrassed and have learned to acknowledge and accept how I feel and to take those feelings and turn them into something positive.
Chloe, 27, Program Associate
"Rachael is someone I trust - In working with her I have learned to think with clarity and discernment"
"I have developed an empowering awareness working with her. Life looks completely different to me now! I have the ability to think in a new way and be the truest/happiest me!"
Ryan, 26, Business Owner/Operator
Creating a safe space, free of judgement is something Rachael excels at. She will make you realize that no problem is too big to work through, or too small to deserve attention. She is a remarkable listener and has an insightful way of expressing the very challenges you are working through, clearly and concisely.
Seeing Rachael is not just an outlet for me. My time with her has helped me become more effective at working through challenges. I am more patient with myself, and more willing to learn from any hardships I face, rather than feel defeated by them.
Effie, 24, Student
Rachael created a safe space for me to share and understand my true thoughts and feelings. She did it free of judgment, and at my own pace. I met Rachael in 2013, at a low point in my life. I could not let go of past failures and beliefs. Rachael helped me reinterpret and reevaluate my experiences and values. I became an active participant in my life, and a much happier person. She also gave me the tools I needed to move forward, and for that I am forever grateful.
- A. Baltodano
I have found comfort in Rachael's newfound presence in my life; she's provided a lot of guidance for me. I've been able to actually speak about problems with her that I've never spoken to anyone else about! I feel like I've come up for a breath of fresh air; I've overcome a few of my most dreaded fears - things that I felt I was drowning and suffering in for so long. I'm starting to feel like my old self again!
Lauren, 24, Teacher
"Rachael always has something insightful to say. I've learned to be far more aware of myself and my thoughts & actions. I'm learning to be strong and fearless!"
"I've also learned that meditation brings clarity and gives the ability to step away from the situations that are overwhelming."
Annie, 23, Shop Lead (Kit and Ace)
"What resonated with me the most was creating a future that calls me into it. I now strongly believe that if you focus on a future that contains your ideal state, it will happen.
I've learned life changing techniques and tactics that are so easy to implement into your day to day life"
Lori, 44, Digital Strategist
"The approach is very mindful and logical to me. There isn't a focus on one method or technique unless it is producing results"
"Rachael is practical without being preachy or condescending. She doesn't dwell on what is causing things to be the way they are - sometimes you don't need to know why, you just need to know the solutions."
Ken, 55, Consultant
"Rachael offers insights into my life and mind that I haven’t heard before. She speaks to my anxiety where it seems she knows it better than I know it myself. She demonstrates such empathy and compassion for me that I know she has my best interests at heart. Her optimistic nature and belief in me help me see that there is indeed hope and that I can have a happy and fulfilling life."
Corrina, 42, Teacher
I started seeing Rachael a few years ago when I was going through a really rough time. I can honestly say that she's helped me much more than I imagined. I've grown into a person I never thought I could be. She is very insightful and great at helping you view things in another perspective. I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends and family. Thank you, Rachael, for helping me discover myself and become a more confident person.
Jessica, 25, Graphic Designer
Rachael has a gift - she is a catalyst for change. She has an effortless ability to listen, empathize, empower and provide a bridge to get you from A to B wherever you are in life. She knows the right questions to ask, can jump into your shoes and see things from your perspective. She has a giant tank of unending patience and optimism. I would recommend her to anyone.
I've grown and changed on so many levels. I've learnt to stop doubting myself, to not be mastered by my thoughts and in some ways, completely redesign and recreate the shape and course of my life.
Cindy, 38, Teacher and Photographer
Rachael's calm, non-judgemental and friendly demeanour creates a safe environment for people. She teaches people to analyze situations from different perspectives even though at times its difficult to see it. It's like rolling a bowling ball (your new viewpoint) down a hill for the first time (new way of thinking that needs to be carved out in your brain). Once the grooves are made it will slide down that new track much easier. This allows people to be more open minded and better able to handle the situation in a stronger more positive manner. Thank you, Rachael for sharing your talent.
Gina, 40, Project Managaer and Mom
Rachael is a great person to talk to, she's very welcoming and it feels friendly. She's done so much - she's helped me to realize that I am indeed strong. I learn something new all the time and she helps me to look at life differently. She just keeps helping me learn and understand.
