PRIVATE COACHING

The Room Where Everything Changes.

Six or twelve months of deep, personalized work for the person who is done getting by and ready to build something that actually feels like theirs.

You've done the work.

You’ve read the books, taken the courses, changed your diet, gone to therapy, maybe even left the job or the relationship. And you’re closer than you’ve ever been. You can feel it.

 

But there’s still a gap between the life you’re living and the one you know is yours.

 

Private coaching is for the person who is ready to close that gap. The path forward has never been about trying harder. It’s about having the right structure, the right support, and someone in your corner who can see both the science of what’s happening in your body and the story that’s been running underneath it all. That’s what I do.

 

Spaces are limited and carefully chosen.

Right Brain Left Brain Coaching™

Most coaches live on one side of the equation. They are either deeply present and emotionally attuned, or they are strategic and systems-oriented. I operate in both.

I can hold powerful space for your grief, your ancestral wounds, your fear of being seen, the version of you that keeps self-sabotaging right before the breakthrough. And in the same container, I can walk you through your financial picture, help you build your offer, fire up your manuscript, or launch the thing you have been sitting on for three years.

I call it Right Brain Left Brain Coaching™. And it is why my clients do not just feel better. They build things.

Who This is For

You are a high achiever with a growth mindset who wants more out of life. You are willing to do the deep work and put your money behind something that actually shifts your chemistry, not just your credentials.

You might be a nurse coach building a private practice and wanting a mentor who has walked this path. A healer who keeps hitting a ceiling she cannot push through alone. A creative who is done talking about the thing and ready to make it real. Someone navigating grief, a major transition, or a body that has been under chronic stress for too long.

You believe, somewhere underneath the exhaustion and the doubt, that there is a version of your life that is more alive than this one. You want to meet her.

If you are a nurse coach, know that this work is close to my heart. I believe every nurse coach who steps into her power is one more person moving us toward the healthcare system we are building together, one where healing is not just reactive, where practitioners have agency, where the nervous system is part of the curriculum.

What We Build Together

Every engagement is built around you. Your physiology, your nervous system, your story, your goals. There is no generic protocol here, because you are not a generic person.

Depending on where you are and what you are working toward, our sessions might include:

  • HeartMath biofeedback to train coherence and regulate your nervous system at the physiological level

  • Somatic and nervous system work to help you feel safe, grounded, and at home in yourself

  • Neurohacking and mindset work to interrupt the patterns keeping you in familiar loops

  • Business strategy, offer development, and financial clarity for those building something of their own

  • Writing and creative development for those working toward a manuscript, memoir, or stronger voice

  • Deep listening, reflection, and witnessing, because sometimes what shifts everything is simply being truly heard

You will also have access to me between sessions so you are never navigating the hard moments alone.

How it Works

Step 1

Apply

Book a discovery call so Rachel can understand where you are and what you are working toward.

Step 2

Discovery Call

A 45-minute conversation where we explore the work together, see if the energy is right, and make sure this is the right container for you.

Step 3

We begin

Once enrolled, you receive your onboarding materials and your first session is scheduled. We move at depth, not speed.

What Becomes Possible

My clients walk away with more than tools. They walk away transformed.

 

One client came in carrying generational trauma, flashbacks, nightmares, and a son in the depths of addiction. Within months he had built a daily meditation practice, was sleeping through the night, had adopted a mantra of “let it be,” and was spending long peaceful hours in his woodworking studio. His son entered recovery. His relationship with his body, his family, and himself shifted in ways he had stopped believing were possible.

Another client was a type-A nurse coach who had spent years white-knuckling her life. She could not slow down, could not stop measuring, could not stop pushing. Over time, she learned to find purpose in the pain, to run without the fitness tracker, to rest without guilt. Her business grew. Her finances became clear. She found her voice as a writer.

A third came in already thriving, wanting more. She left with a launched podcast, a growing coaching practice, a manuscript in progress, and a business generating income she had only imagined before.

What they all had in common was the willingness to show up, do the work, and trust the process.

In their words

“Before working with Rachel, I was completely overwhelmed. My relationships were strained, I was so hard on myself with constant negative self-talk. Now, I feel so peaceful and at home in my body. I feel in flow, I feel joy, and I move between different states in my nervous system with ease and coherence.”

—  TBB Client

“I came to Rachel because I’d always wanted to write and use my voice, but I had no idea how much more I would uncover. I learned to listen to my body, to rest without guilt, and to stop white-knuckling my way through life. My finances became clear, my relationship with myself softened, and I found purpose even in the most painful season of my life. I 1000% would tell anyone, you need to do this.”

—  Shannon, 2-year coaching client

“I said yes to nurse coaching. I said yes to the plant-based coaching certification. I said yes to coaching with you. I am pushing myself in the direction of really making this happen. I am making this happen. It is so powerful to be seen.”

—  Camille, Nurse & Plant-Based Coach
