She has helped me learn to trust my instincts and let go of some of my fears. My work with Rachel has given me more confidence and, as a result I've tasted a freedom in my process that I didn't have before. Our work together has provided valuable conversations that are centered on my particular needs. It has meant so much to me to be truly seen, heard and understood.”

Before working with Rachel, I found myself questioning my direction and purpose; I struggled with comparison and I was really disconnected from my practice. Rachel was excellent at redirecting my focus and reminding me of my core motivations and reasons for making. Rachel's influence on my career has been transformative and eye-opening. Her insight, encouragement, and wisdom have shaped not only the direction of my artistic practice but also my outlook on life.”

I sought her out during a time when I felt my practice changing and I had questions. I was craving conversation with someone who had a nuanced perspective of what it means to be an artist right now in this world. I was feeling self-conscious and the work we did together helped to center me, to realize what was most important and meaningful, to better understand the direction I wanted to go and to name it in specific terms.”

Through Rachel, I've gained a better understanding of my patterns, my conditioning, my blocks, and my vision. Rachel really comes into coaching as an artist herself, and brings refreshing perspectives that make me look at things in a whole new way. She understands the fluidity, nuance and human-ness in a creative practice and is able to hold space for both the granular details and the bigger picture. I always leave our sessions with more clarity and understanding. Rachel is like a magic mirror to better see myself.
