The Challenge:
DEEPER SELF-AWARENESS OF PATTERNS
There wasn’t a crisis or major event that brought me to therapy—I simply wanted to understand myself more deeply. I was curious about the subconscious limiting beliefs and patterns that might be shaping how I respond to life. I’d had some counselling in the past, but I didn’t feel like I could express myself. The atmosphere in those settings was tense, and I often left feeling more unsettled than supported.
The Experience:
A SAFE, HOLISTIC SPACE TO
EXPLORE & GROW
From the first conversation, I felt a real sense of ease and trust with Rachel. I’ve found her style to be the perfect balance of warmth, compassion, expertise, and guidance. She brings this unique blend of traditional techniques along with a deep understanding of the body, the nervous system, and even ancestral patterns and influences.
It’s incredibly holistic.
Rachel creates such a safe and welcoming space. She’s a strong and compassionate presence and an incredible listener—often picking up on the most subtle yet important cues. Feel safe enough to be able to explore some really intimate and vulnerable areas with her has been incredibly valuable. I’ve felt completely open and at ease.
The Transformation:
INCREASED AGENCY, PATTERN AWARENESS & INTEGRATION
It’s been a subtle shift, but a meaningful one. I find myself noticing unconscious reactions and patterns more often now. And because I’m more aware of them, I’m gaining more agency over how I respond to life’s circumstances. I’m also feeling more comfortable exploring the role of my biological father in my life—something that felt harder to sit with before. Bit by bit, I can feel more clarity and presence unfolding through this work.
