Real People. Real Shifts.

This is what happens when you stop fighting your body and start working with it.

1:1 Coaching

Jen Ruzicka Lee, client of The Coherence Studio coaching program

You were my life raft. You were my first person that made me feel seen, gave me a voice. You are patient and you have insight — just what I needed. I just needed somebody to listen to me and to know that it’s okay. Flaws and all. What’s different now? I don’t have that anxiety, that knot in my stomach. It was like a tumultuous, twisting source of energy pre-stroke. But it’s no longer there. I’m more aware of who I am, what I need, what I don’t like, and what doesn’t serve me. Working with you helped me to see that it’s okay to ask those questions, that my needs are important, and who I am and who I wanna be is also important. As important. If you really want to expand your belief of who you are and who you can be — jump in, the water is warm.”

— Jen Ruzicka Lee — 2-Year 1:1 Client, HTWW & TBB

Shannon, client of The Coherence Studio coaching program

“When I started working with Rachel, I had a very type-A, rigid, structured brain — it was always push, push, push. I didn’t know how to slow down, and honestly, I didn’t think I needed to. Through our work together, I learned to sit in the quiet and actually be okay with it. I developed a softness and gentleness with myself that was completely non-existent two years ago. I learned more about myself than I ever knew before, and I wouldn’t have gotten there without this work.”

— Shannon — 2 Years of 1:1 Coaching

Camille, Nurse & Plant-Based Coach, client of The Coherence Studio coaching program

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

I genuinely think of you as just the perfectly balanced nurse coach. I really admire how you approach things as a one-to-one coach, group coach and a person. You always are so down to earth and gracious, and I just love the space you created. I think you are absolutely walking in your calling.”

Lucyann, client of The Coherence Studio coaching program

I’m so thankful for you! Thank you for being you, sharing parts of your story, and encouraging me through this process. You will be with me on the day of my speech 1000% and carried in my heart on my journey.”

— Lucyann

“Girl!! I bought a house! Your budget is magic! Thank you so much. God is good.”

The Biohacker's Blueprint

Meg Laidlaw, client of The Coherence Studio Biohacker’s Blueprint program

I am a full-fledged believer. I did coherence with my client in person today and it was so good. Coherence. God. Manifestation. I am creating my heaven on Earth.”

— Meg Laidlaw — TBB Client

I am experiencing only what I could describe as a joyful state. Unbelievable, truly. It feels so good to be regulated in my nervous system.”

— Jen — TBB Client

I had a date yesterday and used some of the tools that you taught me to calm down my nervous system. I felt emotionally available on a date for the first time in years! In addition, I have seen a shift in IBS through using somatic healing to calm down the nervous system.”

Heal the Write Way

Meg Laidlaw, Heal the Write Way program client at The Coherence Studio

“I invited Rachel to be a guest speaker for my membership community, Bold Beautiful Life, and she showed up so fully in her power, in her flow, and in true leadership. Rachel was confident, grounded, and incredibly impactful. She shared her wisdom around biohacking and also shared a personal story that literally gave me chills. Her storytelling was so visceral that it pulled everyone right in and created a deep sense of connection in the room. My clients shared that they felt peace, joy, and deep love, and that they were able to tap into their own internal pharmacy of oxytocin. Rachel reminded us that when we tap into the energy of the heart, the sky truly is the limit.”

— Meg, Founder of Bold Beautiful Life

Wendy Parker, Heal the Write Way program client at The Coherence Studio

To be able to write and dig through the shadows of yourself and come out shining is the most amazing feeling. My spirituality has blossomed. My most favorite change is the general peace of mind I now carry with me. Now I know how to find my way back to peace, which is something I was missing before.”

— Wendy Parker — Season 2

Michelle Leonard, Heal the Write Way program client at The Coherence Studio

Within Rachel’s sacred writing, my Soul has a place to speak through writing. My goal was to let my true self speak through my pen. It works when you sit down and write. No judgement. Just a sacred space with myself.”

— Michelle Leonard — Season 2

Jenie Bennett, Heal the Write Way program client at The Coherence Studio

“Prior to joining this program, I was struggling to write social media posts. It didn’t feel safe in my body to share. Rachel, this program is so good. You have created gold. I started writing a freaking book. I highly doubt that would have actually happened if I hadn’t joined.

— Jenie Bennett, BSN, HWNC-BC — Season 3

Rhonda Markham, Heal the Write Way program client at The Coherence Studio

“Before starting the Heal the Write Way program, I was having difficulty expressing myself. I didn’t want to offend anyone. My goal was to find my voice and speak with confidence. I can say with confidence that I have found my voice. I am able to express myself through writing without fear and doubt. I loved every minute of this program.”

— Rhonda Markham BSN, RN, NC-BC — Season 3

Linde Carter, Heal the Write Way program client at The Coherence Studio

I think every nurse should take this workshop. It’s not just about writing — it’s really about creative recovery. You will discover that it can be breathtaking, transformative, and truly magical.”

— Linde Carter, Grief Coach/End of Life Doula/Writer — Season 3

Joy Johansen Slaman, Heal the Write Way program client at The Coherence Studio

“My life was in turmoil — a long-term relationship flailing and failing, an abundance of grief and loss. Although I’ve not solved all the things I walked into this group with, I found the comfort and support of human caring and understanding. Writing is a healing tool literally at your fingertips. I will forever continue to write my way to healing and well-being.”

— Joy Johansen Slaman, RN NC-BC — Season 3

Catherine Marcuccilli, Heal the Write Way program client at The Coherence Studio

“This practice of daily writing and taking an hour or two each week to take in nature, art or other time alone has healed my feelings of burnout. Rachel and the group coaching container have added clarity to my next steps of my life journey.

— Catherine Marcuccilli, BSN, RN, NC-BC — Season 4

B.Ely, Heal the Write Way program client at The Coherence Studio

“I was ‘locked up’. I had trouble sorting out thoughts or ideas. I wanted to be able to express myself and find my voice. Morning pages definitely clears out the wacky thoughts and makes for more clarity. I only wish this was a little longer… because I wasn’t ready for it to end!”

— B. Ely, RN, BSN, HWNC-BC — Season 5

I have become more visible in my community and online. I have found success in my business ventures and in writing! I have become more articulate and creative with my words.”

— Rachel Rotramel, RN — Season 4

The biggest change I’ve seen in myself is that I now look forward to writing daily, and when I don’t, I feel like something is missing. I crave writing now.”

— Anonymous — Season 1

“I think it’s time to give Rachel some credit for allowing me to remember how much I love to write. My soul knew it before my ego caught on to it. It’s been so dormant since I was 15 and now I just can’t stop writing.”

— Faline Salisburg

Sally Davidson, Heal the Write Way program client at The Coherence Studio

I have been self conscious around my writing and this workshop allowed me the freedom to just write and read my writing without feeling judged. I have really loved the space.”

— Sally Davidson, Registered Nurse and Somatic Guide — Season 1

I have confidence that my dream of writing is going to come true. I came to this course without any expectations. I learned so much and I have learned to have confidence in myself.”

— Maria Frosini, Nurse Practitioner and Holistic Coach — Season 2

Janet Banks, Heal the Write Way program client at The Coherence Studio

It has been the right support at the right time for me to just grow. You’ve always made it a prompt — an invitation, not an obligation. I really valued this time with you and the people that you attracted to your group.”

— Janet — HTWW Alumni

Camille, Heal the Write Way program client at The Coherence Studio

I’ve never realized how therapeutic and healing writing is. Showing up on these calls has been such a gift — that consistency of writing at least once or twice a week.

— Camille — HTWW Alumni

I committed to doing 5 min a day for 30 days of somatic writing. Started 2 days ago. So powerful.”

— HTWW Participant

Rachel, it was such a beautiful cacao ceremony last night! You brought beautiful people together and it’s amazing what us women are capable of. I’m so happy to be a part of this journey with you.”

Thank you for including me in an incredible evening! I feel reenergized and full of love and positive energy! The cacao was delicious, the ambience, the beautiful Sukkah, amazing people, your moving words, guitar playing and your beautiful voice made the night one that I will never forget!

— Cacao Ceremony Attendee

Loved being at your cacao party last night, it was a really refreshing and beautiful evening of connection and fun. Thanks for including me!
