Hey! I’m Rachelle. Nearly three decades later, after all the hustle and drive, I found myself stressed out, burnt out, and basically at rock bottom. I spent so many years on high alert keeping a large family (we added a surprise baby along the way for a total of 6 kids) and a small business running smoothly, that I had neglected myself. I was over drinking, overeating, and generally making bad choices with my time, emotional health, and avoiding my spiritual health all together. I was overweight, exhausted, and irritated. I knew there had to be a better way.
And, after trial and error, I found the success formula to living a happier, healthier, and better balanced life. I knew I could help others do this too, so I obtained professional coaching certifications in the areas of leadership, health, psychology, and even happiness!
At age 49, I decided to pursue my dream and went back to school for a PhD in Leadership and Change where I study stress management and personal development.
My passion is helping other high achieving entrepreneurs and professionals avoid the pitfalls and challenges I faced bouncing back from rock-bottom by teaching, coaching, and advising on the tools and strategies that are guaranteed to get you back to living the well-balanced life you want.

I live in the State of Washington with my husband, our six children, and turtle. I’ve been self employed for over 20 years and there’s nothing I love more than helping people see their own vision to fruition. In my spare time, I love to ride my bicycle, golf, knit, paint, read, and study.
I changed my life using the process I now teach others. I am passionate about helping other strong, busy high achievers find balance, and I can help you.
