Rachel is a professionally trained and certified life coach and understands how difficult it is to build enduring healthy relationships in the contemporary world. She’s moved from being a very successful CFP® to focus her life’s work on coaching once she truly realized that financial independence alone does not secure happiness. She knew that she could facilitate more meaning in people’s lives by enhancing their personal and professional relationships more than working with their investments.
Rachel’s passion for coaching gay men stems from her love of helping her many gay male friends over the years. Rachel has helped others see through to the other side, learn from their through major life challenges and ultimately overcome the obstacles to living a fulfilling life of their own design. They, among others, encouraged Rachel to turn her passion into a profession so she could empower more gay men to completely love and accept themselves, no matter what. Rachel has observed that, as with most people, when gay men feel genuinely good about themselves, they can get their own needs met while enhancing their relationships with others. She uses an exclusively-tailored coaching model, and works with her clients from the inside out. Rachel is rewarded in watching that process unfold – seeing her clients shine in the presence of their partners, families, co-workers and community at large.
She currently resides in Denver, Colorado with her partner, Joni, and their son, Max, and is involved in various community and international service projects, such as Rotary International, Coaching the Global Village, SCOPE International, and Empowering Change.
