What clients say
"Working with Rachel has been such a relief. Her work is somatic and she is highly skilled at guiding me back to myself away from what once were never ending looping stories. Interestingly she is also just as skilled at holding an open space for them with deep listening when that is whats needed for them to become unstuck and let go of. All parts of me feel honoured, heard, understood and welcome which has been profoundly healing."
"Rachel is highly skilled at gently bringing me back to my body and feelings, guiding me to connect the dots between what is happening now and where the wounding then programme originated and taking the healing journey there at the root which is where true change and healing is happening."
"Rachel is very present and highly attuned, her work is gentle, safe and effective. I feel all my disowned and shut down parts landing back in my heart creating a wholeness,peace and connectedness in my being. I highly recommend Rachel as a therapist who can facilitate significant positive change with loving kindness."
Therapy / Counseling
60-minute session
from $90 concession - $130
Rachel facilitates a mindful somatic and trauma informed style of psychotherapy. This process can support us in learning to recognize the unconscious dynamics that run our lives and how to free ourselves from self-generated suffering, as well as gain insight, clarity and choice in our response. Somatic therapy focuses on the body because the source of compulsive behaviours, trauma, depression & anxiety, and general discomfort with everyday life exists as sensations, emotions, and experiences that occur within the framework of the body.

If I could provide three words to describe Rachel, I would use kind, gentle and graceful in her approach. Rachel has a loving ability to hold space for true feelings and emotions to unfold. During our sessions, she offers practical and tangible tools through a yogic, and counseling lens, leading to many ‘aha’ moments and a shift in daily rituals, inner dialogue, habits, and overall energy.

When I started yoga therapy, there were many excuses with why I wasn’t feeling my best. I wasn’t doing all the things that I thought I “should” be doing and the guilt was making it hard to break through the cycle of feeling exhausted. Then I went to see Rachel for Yoga Therapy and it broke the cycle. After the first session, I felt excited and Rachel designed a simple practice that suited the time I had available, which made it easy to fit in. When I slip out of the habit, my yoga practice is something that I can quickly return to and feel the benefits instantly. Thank you Rachel for making regular yoga practice accessible and achievable!

We always leave a session in a better place. When we have tried counselling before, we found we’d leave still annoyed, if not more so, with one another as our nitpicking was magnified. Rachel’s sessions always address areas so much deeper. I’ve learned so much about our nervous system, why patterns repeat and how to actually move forward. It’s not that my husband and I don’t still disagree, we are just able to diffuse much quicker and catch ourselves before the spiral. Rachel’s deep knowledge in all her disciplines works beautifully together to teach and heal. She is incredible.
