If you want to be sure that I can help you scale without burnout and...

→ dial your focus
→ nurture your team
→ be present with your family

Then let me tell you what sets me apart from other coaches.

My POV is that SMART goals are a useful tool—but not enough to break through the unconscious resistance that has you stuck in cycles of burnout, boredom or lack of fulfillment. 

I combine somatic healing, hypnosis & insight coaching to help you eradicate stress from the root.

As a result, my clients experience significant change that sticks.

Take Ruby.

Ruby is a super high performer, and as head of product, she used to:

→ criticize herself constantly
→ struggle to balance work & life
→ aim lower than her full potential

I could pretty quickly able to see the emotional roots of Ruby’s critical self-talk. With her participation, we gently, lovingly and strategically worked through each of her doubts and insecurities using somatic hypnosis.

Anywhere she experienced stress or self-judgement, we updated her neural pathways to reflect confidence and curiosity.

In her own words:

Ruby has been bringing “way more boldness” to her work ever since.

She’s using her voice, exerting more influence and getting amazing feedback from her team.

SO many leaders are secretly struggling, and too scared to admit it.

Don't let that be you.

A happier, healthier work life is possible, and you can be the trailblazer whose refusal to suffer to succeed helps to rightsize the toxic aspects of our culture.

Been having "one of those weeks" for the last few years?

Ouch.

I can help.

Growing your revenue, closing another round or hiring another star player won't resolve the root cause.

If you've been:

- venting to your spouse every day about work for years
- talking in circles with a therapist
- trying to meditate or be more mindful
 
But still find yourself on an emotional rollercoaster—even as your bottom line has stabilized?

The issue isn't that you aren't working hard enough.

It's that your unconscious programming around work is making things harder than they need to be.

I'm NOT anti-hustle. 

I just know that there's a huge difference between working a lot because you love it and are inspired—

And working a lot because you don't feel sure of yourself. 🤨

Radical transformation is possible when you have true confidence and self-trust.

Before hiring me, my clients typically feel like they're consumed by busy work, everything is a five-alarm fire and they don't even know what they should be doing! 

After we work together... well, take it from them:

✨ ”I went from being a poster child for hustle culture—do more, work more, sleep when you’re dead—to a state of calm, slowness and flow, though I still work in a high-stress environment.” - senior exec

✨ “I went from being in very high doubt to grounded and trusting myself, which is such a freakish shift. My big fear in starting a company was always that I’d become a workaholic, but it turns out I can work harder than I ever expected without feeling drained." - founder

✨  “I was dealing with immense stress and being pulled in all different areas of the business. Working with Rachel was imperative to helping me navigate the challenges of a startup—from hiring, to strategy, to biz dev, to fundraising—so that I could wake up every day with drive and passion.” - senior exec

If you want to eliminate doubt, lack and confusion, call me.

I've helped over one hundred ambitious high-performers to get free from the pressure of their positions and grow their businesses or careers with way less stress.
