In addition to her coaching, she also speaks, gives interviews, and leads workshops to empower women in these important areas.

In her past career as an industrial engineer, and now as an entrepreneur, Rachell has noticed a pattern of self-sabotage among ambitious, results-driven women. Their inner voices often repeat doubts like, 'I’m not smart enough' or 'I don’t deserve success.' These false beliefs crush their confidence, keeping them stuck in procrastination and self-limiting habits. Ultimately, this derails their goals and holds back the success they seek in both their personal and professional lives. That’s why Rachell has made it her life’s work to help other women through coaching!

Rachell is an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coach Federation (ICF), which is a well-respected organization for coaches around the world. She completed her training at the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) and earned her certifications as a professional coach and an Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP). Before she became a coach, Rachell earned a B.S. in Industry & Technology from Northern Illinois University and built a successful career in industrial engineering. This experience has helped her become a great listener and communicator, allowing her to connect deeply with her clients.

One of Rachell's biggest strengths is her knack for problem-solving and improving processes.
