Rachael is passionate about helping people be their best selves.
Her life has been full of adventure, joyous moments, hard things, beautiful memories, growth, healing, and a passionate belief that life is worth living.
Rachael grew up bi-cultural, with parents from different nations. She’s the oldest of four siblings, all of whom are wonderful people. Her parents are some of her heroes; they taught her to love people, cultures, experiences, and God. They instilled in her a belief that she could do anything she chose, even though some things would involve a lot of hard work. They continue to be some of her biggest champions.
Rachael has the distinct pleasure of being a mom to a dynamic duo. The twins ignited change in Rachael’s life in ways she’s still discovering. Single-parenting isn’t for the faint of heart, but Rachael is a living model of what it looks like to give children the gift of agency and an understanding of mental and emotional health.
Having visited 12 countries and 29+ states, Rachael feels she’s barely scratched the travel bug itch. France stole her heart years ago, and continues to be a place she loves to return to.
Rachael’s heart for others is reflected in her book, Blueprints for Divorce: An Act of Love, Sacrifice, and Redemption. When her marriage didn’t turn out the way she had hoped, Rachael turned the heartache and pain into something to help others, especially women, going through the same thing.
Rachael working with people one on one to help them heal, grow, and create a life they long for. Rachael is an IFS-informed relationship and mindset certified coach, business owner, and former IT professional. She and her sister, Rebekah, started Remarkably Luminous to help people live fully present in every aspect of their life.
The sister duo combine Coaching, Consulting, Healing & Guidance (Internal Family Systems) to offer you unique sessions, tailored entirely to your needs, goals, and desired outcome shift. They are confident you will grow in your area of choice, whether that’s greater awareness of yourself, steps towards a future that you want, or honing your own skills.
Rachael would love to work with you in person or online. She invites you to connect, grow, and step into the whole, healthy, radiant individual you are.
