I'M RACHEL
Founder of "Practicing Zen" +
Metamorphose Coaching
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 retraining as a "Rapid Transformational" Coach®.
I'VE SPENT OVER $100,000 ON PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT + MY MENTAL WELLBEING IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. Yup, you read that right!
I'VE SEEN:
- Life Coaches
- Counsellors
- Mediums
- Psychics
- Psychologists
- Psychiatrists
- Occupational Therapists
AND TRIED:
- NLP
- "BodyTalk"
- EFT Tapping
- Reiki Healing
- Past Life Regression
- RTT® + RTC®
- Hypnotherapy, and more...
I've also had business coaches + mentors, and have purchased more "self help" books and online courses than I will ever have time to read or complete.
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 now, I want to share all my learning, to help other busy working mums avoid burning out like I did!
DO YOU NEED A CHECK UP ON YOUR OWN WELLBEING?
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.
