Specialties
Founder Coaching
For founders carrying the weight of a company alone.
Whether you're going from 0 to 1 or scaling your mission, building a company carries significant demands. You're deciding fast without full information, holding the weight of your team, your investors, and your vision all at once. Founder Coaching merges strategy and execution with deep inner development. You'll build the clarity to lead when things get uncertain, stay connected to why you started when the pressure peaks, and build a company that reflects your true integrity.
Leadership Coaching
For leaders stepping into more than they've held before.
Leadership begins with unleashing your true self. Whether you're managing a high-stakes team, navigating a major transition, or growing into a bigger role, Leadership Coaching develops the foundation that makes everything else possible. You'll build the capacity to stay clear and steady under pressure, and deepen the self-awareness and relational acuity that let you lead with integrity, inspire genuine motivation, and bring out the best in the people around you.
Life Coaching
For those ready to build a life that actually feels like their own.
Success in one area of life rarely answers the larger question of how you want to live. Whether you’re navigating a major transition, recovering from burnout, sorting out what comes next, or wanting more aliveness across your relationships, health, creativity, and work, Life Coaching attends to the whole of your life rather than a single slice of it. You’ll clarify what genuinely matters to you, learn to make decisions from a grounded place rather than momentum or obligation, and build a life that coheres across every part of who you are.
Spiritual Mentoring
For those with a desire to awaken, embody, and express their true nature.
This work is for deepening a meditation practice, tending to your mental health and wellbeing, or entering into inquiry to uncover deeper stages of awareness. Sessions are responsive, present-centered, and trauma-informed, moving with what's most alive for you in the moment. Drawing from nondual wisdom traditions alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS), Integral Theory, and intuitive approaches, Spiritual Mentoring supports you in integrating your inner life and outer world into a life of genuine wholeness.

Rachel and I met at a conference...

Throughout my life, whenever I meet someone with this combination of skills, they always turn out to be extraordinary in some way. Rachel certainly checks that box. For anyone considering working with or for Rachel, I cannot recommend highly enough that your answer be an astounding YES.
– Matt, Entrepreneur & Executive
We all start our entrepreneurial journeys from different places. With my background in designing and structurally analyzing jet engine systems, and seven years of experience protecting breakthrough innovations for startups and large companies, I was confident that I could bring my deep-tech vision to life. But no matter where you start, every founder quickly realizes how much there is to learn. Sitting at a table in my backyard, I connected with Rachel—and I knew this was the start of something big. Not just the company I recently started, but a coaching partnership that would guide me through the challenges of company-building.Since that first conversation about a year ago, my co-founder joined, we’re completing an oversubscribed friends-and-family raise this month, and our first six employees are set to start in June 2026. With Rachel’s guidance, outreach to DARPA led to ongoing communication about funding a large-scale prototype of our technology. Rachel’s coaching has been instrumental, not only in the growth of my company but in my growth as a leader. She helped me stay focused, harmonize my personal and professional life, and move forward with clarity and confidence. If you’re a founder looking for a coach who can bring you and your company to new heights, look no further than Rachel.

I’m not the same person I was when I started working with Rachel. My perspective has expanded, not just in business but in life. I see much more clearly now what is signal and what is noise.

Once I applied that, I finally built the systems I had been struggling with, and everything came together. I would not be where I am today without her.

Rachel honored every part of me that needed a voice while helping me weave those parts back into a coherent whole. She helped me step out of fight-or-flight and return to long-term vision. She has a way of offering exactly the right message at the right moment. Her words were both affirming and clarifying and have echoed for months. I’m clearer now, and with far more intention.

When you’re building a startup, there’s nothing more valuable than perspective.

Working with Rachel has been a true gem. She is able to thread the needle in the dance of meeting modern-day, high intensity demands with the depths of wisdom and self honor.
