I'M RACHEL
Founder of "Practicing Zen"
and Metamorphose Coaching
I'm an ICF Accredited Rapid Transformational Coach® and an Internationally Certified Results Coach.
It's my mission to help as many people as possible to uncover blocks + limiting beliefs, to feel empowered + confident to go after their goals + dreams, and to live their best lives!
I’M A MUM OF 2 TEENAGE GIRLS (AND 3 FUR BABIES) BASED IN AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND.
I’m actually an honours graduate of a Bachelor of Design Degree, and ran my own Commercial Interior Design practice for 12 years before completing 2 x Coaching Certifications.
WHY?
BECAUSE IN 2022 I BURNT OUT
Since starting my design business I had dealt with separation + divorce, co-parenting and solo parenting for big chunks of time. I'd navigated a new relationship, blending families, then infidelity + betrayal. While also managing tween anxiety, undiagnosed ADHD and learning difficulties.
But I was so conditioned to just “soldiering on” in my business, and juggling all the things, that I ignored all the warning signs until it was too late…
I ended up having a nervous breakdown which cost me 18 months of income because I was unable to work.
My journey of recovery has really made me really look at my life and how it was (or wasn't) serving me; and there's been a lot of reflection and healing...
- Practicing better beliefs + being ok with allowing myself time to rest
- Practicing self care + self love
- Practicing communicating and holding boundaries
- Practicing healthier habits and testing and tweaking better daily routines
- Practicing being vulnerable, letting walls down and acknowledging it’s ok to not have it all together and to not be doing all the things
AND, realising that I get to choose how I live my life going forward, and so do you!
INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH ME?
Let's talk!
I offer a free Clarity Call to talk through where you're at, vs where you want to be.
It's a great way to see if we're a good fit, to ask any questions you might have, and to get some clarity on how to get unstuck, and how to move forward.
