What women say
about working with Me
“I finished the Revitalize Program and I really do feel I’ve had a midlife reboot. Rachel is a great coach – warm and open but not afraid to challenge when needed. I certainly got what I wanted: to give shape to my future retirement lifestyle change and be more authentic and confident at work and nurture my relationships at home. I feel happier, wiser and more confident, and am very glad I made this investment in myself.”

“In short – the entire mentoring experience was amazing. You gave me a safe, non-judgmental and kind space to make sense of the changes I was experiencing. Your wisdom and frankness were refreshing and you helped through a very difficult moment.
Thank you so much!”
— Mentoring Client
“Rachel delivered an incredibly powerful session on the menopause in our workplace. Her unabashed delivery and natural humour allowed for full and frank discussion of all aspects of the menopause. She turned the idea of struggling with the menopause on its head and introduced the idea of female empowerment during midlife and beyond. Rachel provided us with numerous tips and resources to help rebalance hormonal fluctuations and regain control of our bodies.”
