Reconnecting with your divine spark.
Trusting the whispers. Living from love.

Hi, I'm Rachel,I come from a line of good-hearted women who got lost in service. My mother; creative, sensitive, and kind, carried the family’s emotional weight until it broke her. Labelled bipolar and crippled by anxiety, she believed the world when it told her she was "crazy."As her only child, I learned to suppress my own sensitivity to "hold the room." I became a chameleon, then a teacher, using my career as an escape. If I was busy meeting everyone else’s needs, I didn't have to face my fears within!But after I had my own children, I knew I had to change the record.The chain had to break with me. I dove into Human Design, Neuroscience, and Energy work, realising my "mental health issues" were actually a deep disconnection from my true self.I had to go into the fire to rewire my nervous system. I learned that dimming my light didn't help my family; they needed me strong, unshakeable and whole.Today, I am the emotional stability for my children. When they are overstimulated, I am the beacon of calm, not because I am "doing it all," but because I am regulated.
When my mother sends fear-based texts, I respond from centre, as opposed to reacting emotionally.As I became more me, my children became more them.We’ve been sold a lie that a "good mother" must give every part of herself away. But the truth is that a good mother loves herself enough to meet her own needs. She knows she is enough, stripped of every label and role, just as she is.After 20 years in education and a lifetime in the "Deep End," I’ve found my voice again; through writing, poetry, and the frequency of my own truth.Speaking still scares me, but I love it! Your voice is your divinity.The mothers who came before us deserved to shine, too. They didn’t get the chance, but we do. This is the healing of the mother wound.This is the rebirth.
Join me.
