My Passion for Coaching

Hi, my name is Rachel, and I offer life coaching from a Christian perspective.  I am passionate about partnering with people as they make the courageous choice to pursue lifestyle transformation. In addition to being a Certified Wellness Coach, I’m also a Certified Personal Trainer, and would be happy to help you explore ways physical fitness could play a role in your healing process (remember to ask me about my “walk and talk sessions!”). I am also Certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), which is a powerful way to help you better regulate your nervous system, and increase feelings of safety (watch video below to learn more).

Ages I Work With

I work with all ages.

Types of Coaching I Provide

For coaching sessions, I draw from the 7 areas of wellness, change theory, and motivational interviewing (M.I) to help you in areas like: sleep, stress, work/life balance, exercise, diet, smoking, career changes, and other life challenges. And as a Certified provider of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), I am also able to use this research-proven approach to help your nervous system become more flexible with shifting states. This intervention can be especially helpful for those experiencing sensitivities to sound, light, physical touch, tastes, and smells. SSP can also help individuals with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, disordered eating, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, Parkinson’s disease, and gut issues.

“Unhealthy patterns threaten to keep us stuck, robbing us of the wonderful life intended for us. If you’re fed up with life as normal and ready to reform your life, I can help. I don’t offer quick fixes. However, if you’re willing to commit to a process of transformation, I’d be honored to work with you.”

– Rachel

What Coaching is All About

Welcome to North Woods!  This is the place to get curious, discover insights about yourself, take on challenges, to dream big, and find freedom.  I am here to help you realize your full potential, encourage you, and hold you accountable so you can find clarity, direction, and hope.  

No matter where you are at, I am happy to join you on your journey. As your Coach, I will walk with you as you make the courageous choice to seek positive life changes. We will walk together through the woods of ambivalence, using several tools as our compass, to get you from where you are now, to where you want to be.

Phase 1: Draw upon your strengths, values, and dreams.

Phase 2: Establish your goals and action steps.

Phase 3: Support and sustain progress.

Phase 4: Celebrate Success, Reflect, Refocus, Reframe.

How might you be supported?

Since any major lifestyle change requires adequate time and effort, we ensure that once you start making progress, you have what you need to continue to make progress.  I will collaborate with you to discover multiple ways to support you and keep you going.

How do I know...

If Wellness Coaching is right for me?

Have you ever wonder what is next for your life?  Are you overwhelmed or spinning in indecision?  Are you trying to bounce back after a setback?  Do you want to kick some old habits?  Do you want to  live out of your passions, not your fears?  Do you want to create more balance in your life?  Do you want more mental focus and flow experiences?  Do you want a more fulfilling, meaningful life?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, wellness coaching may be just what you need.

ASK A QUESTION

How balanced are my 7 areas of wellness?

Think of a flat tire. It makes steering straight challenging, and the ride becomes jarring and tremulous. It can end in a jolt, a clunk, or even a breakdown, leaving you stranded and not getting you where you want to go.

When our “wheel of wellness” becomes unbalanced, it can take all the air out of our tires.

Wellness Coaching does the opposite.

It pumps you up with life-giving energy, brings balance, and creates a compass and momentum to get you going where you want.

Testimonials about Rachel

Rachel, you are a very special lady… don’t let anyone steal your joy!

Rudy Ruettiger, (inspiration behind the movie “Rudy”)

I really benefited from my time with Rachel. She coached me to gain a much-needed and invaluable ability for self-compassion that I don’t believe I would have discovered without her. I’m a much stronger, and yet softer woman for it. So much of my life improved and became easier after the gaining this perspective and skill. I’m very thankful for Rachel!

Francine Blomberg

Rachel is an excellent counselor. With LOTS of patience and kindness she walked beside me as I traveled the road of fear, depression and sorrow. Without Rachel’s help I wouldn’t have taken the first step. I am now on the road to recovery and health. I like the person I have become and I am so glad God led me to Northwoods. It feels so good to smile.
