Dear Rachael, Thank you for everything. You have helped me in so many ways, it would take quite a few pages, possibly even a book to put it down in words. From our first contact, you helped me to realise what is possible. Dreams really do come true. Thank you for being a true blessing. With love light and thanks.

I had the pleasure of attending the weight loss hypnosis sessions held by Rachael last year. I found the course very interesting and extremely helpful as we were given many tools to use throughout the weight loss journey. Rachael has a caring nature, calming voice, she is approachable and easy to talk with and very very helpful and knowledgeable.
I would strongly recommend Rachael and this course as I personally have benefited greatly and would like to say thank you for coming along when you did.

“I have received hypnotherapy sessions from Rachael to stop smoking and I have been amazed at the results. Since our sessions, I have experienced zero cravings and no desire to smoke. Even during highly stressful times, the thought of smoking does not cross my mind. I feel confident in myself and trust in life, as though an inner resource has been strengthened within me. I used to be fearful of being around people who were still smoking and now I don’t even register a cigarette as something I want to smoke. Rachael’s support through hypnotherapy turned my desire to be and stay smoke-free into a reality. I feel free and I am so grateful to her. I have thoroughly enjoyed her sincerity and genuine interest to support people on their journeys. She is down to earth and highly skilled, I recommend her service to anyone who is ready for change.” -Abha 🙂
I came to Rachael in a crisis time. I was extremely anxious and she was so kind and understanding. The NLP and hypnotherapy techniques that Rachael used with me were so gentle and powerful. I felt so good and empowered right after the session and was also given tools to help me cope moving forward in my life. I highly recommend Rachael as she is very experienced and a wonderful healer.

I’ve worked with Rachael using Hypnotherapy for weight loss and absolutely loved it. She has a very caring nature and is so easy and relaxing to be around. She made me feel completely comfortable and in in very competent hands. I really enjoyed my sessions with her and looked forward to them each week. I have been able to chase my dreams of getting more fit and healthy and got to my target weight with ease and loved the process. So for that I am forever grateful. Thanks Rachael

I have had the pleasure of having Rachael work on me on several occasions now, using a mixture of both NLP and Hypnotherapy. Rachael has an incredible way of making you feel relaxed and comfortable and shows great patience, nothing is too much for her. She got rid of a phobia for me in one session. She is authentic and caring and I would highly recommend her.

At times over the past four years when I’ve been at a crossroads and unsure of things, I have spoken to Rachael, and my action plan has become clear. Whether by illuminating my strengths so I can see options, or giving me mental/emotional/spiritual strength, love and care –always through the lens of good common sense - Rachael has been instrumental in helping me make good choices and feel better about life. Rachael is very approachable, experienced and professional, and I would strongly recommend her as a Life Coach for any age group.

Strength Coaching with Rachael was such a helpful way to look at myself from a practical perspective. She outlined areas of myself that I am naturally strong in, and offered insight to best use the strength as a strength and not as an energy that can be over exaggerated in certain situations. Rachael has so much passion for this work which made me feel confident in her coaching and my strengths. I had a very enjoyable experience and would definitely recommend Rachael.

I highly recommend everyone at some point in their lives gets to discover this much in depth about themselves! I found strength training with Rachael incredibly enlightening, like someone turning on a light on the "behind the scenes" in my brain which allowed me to see, understand and figure out who I am, why I am this way or that, and how I my strengths are and can be applied in my life. I now
understand the traits I hold that are special to me, that make me me, and instead of focusing on comparing myself to others I finally felt acceptance and pride for my own unique strengths that I have.

I didn’t think I could learn so much more about myself as I'm already such analytical, self-aware person, but the strength training Rachael has done enlightened and helped me in so many ways. I’m now tackling life with confidence knowing the strengths I have are just what I need for my self-felt purpose in life. Thank you so much Rachael for showing me what I needed to know about myself in order to grow and giving me the tools I needed to make the most use of my own strengths.

I had an opportunity to take the strengths coaching with Rachael. It was insightful and opened my eyes to my abilities to empathize with others on a deeper level. My strengths included communication and connectedness with people, which has always been my main focus since I was 11 years old. I saw this as a strength and not a weakness to empathize with people to a level of understanding of their pain. It also made me realize I didn’t need a qualification to have the strengths that I have. It was a great experience and a real eye opener.
