You are a great lover of life, joy and energy pours out of you, and people respond to that. 

People remember you.

And whether it’s family, friends, colleagues, clients — you are so grateful for them and their appreciation when it comes.

• “wow, everytime I talk to you, you have a way of making me feel so much more calm and grounded. Thank you.”
• “You’re amazing!  I love the way you see things so differently.”
• “I always feel more positive when you’re around. I’m so glad our paths crossed and I have you in my life”
• “Thank you for all you do in creating space for fun and connection”

But what they don’t see is the secret tears of helpless frustration you cry behind closed doors –

in the shower after you’ve lost it and screamed at your partner or your children;

curled up on your bed at the end of an exhausting day holding it together at work or with your parents;

lying on the floor of your living room in despair and bewilderment when life feels overwhelming.

Because there is something critical missing, something you know you should be doing but you just can’t put your finger on it, no matter how hard you try.

And you’ve tried doing so many things, searching, always searching for what it is that feels true and right for you.

You’ve studied – again and again – so many years, so many qualifications.

You’ve fallen into and out of relationships.

You’ve walked into and out of jobs.

You’ve travelled the world, and explored your neighbourhood.

You’ve eaten healthy and unhealthy and everywhere in between.

You’ve dabbled with drinking, smoking and popping.

You’ve run and skipped and jumped and thrown and caught and yogaed and danced and lifted and dropped and pushed and pulled and hit and kicked.

Maybe you’ve had children of your own, and now they’re growing up and away from you.

Either way –

You still don’t know what you want to be when you grow up.

Secretly, you are desperate – lost and scared.

Very few people around you, even the closest, have any inkling of your desperation.

Nobody truly understands the depth of it 

– even you are afraid to look into the void again, because you are absolutely out of options, despite your demonstrated history of creativity, active engagement and problem solving brilliance.

So here’s the truth.

You were a gifted child.   You’re a smart, successful and sensitive adult.

You are NOT the problem here >

The commodity driven Western world is bound by its own white colonial capitalist logic to  amplify the bulge at the middle of the consumer curve – not to seek out and uplift extraordinary outliers.

There are no obvious instructions on where to go, how to proceed, when you exist at the outer edge of the mainstream.   You’re on your own, staring out into infinite darkness.

When you look around for the lights, there is an inexorable drift and drag back toward the high profile, safe bet average. 

All your life you have been trapped in the thrall of the tawdry.

adjective

showy but cheap and of poor quality.
“tawdry jewellery”

Which is devastatingly paradoxical, when you basically generate your own gravity with your genuine depth of presence and intense aliveness. 

Settler society doesn’t acknowledge that a kind and thoughful character like yours can even exist.

A character whose every choice and action is carefully considered and intended for the highest good of all.

You come to doubt your own value, because you don’t see yourself reflected anywhere.

You’re caught in an exhausting mental emotional loop between the impenetrable blankness of the unknown and the unbearable disappointment of the known.

So, how do you break the enchantment?

By getting real.

Close your eyes and move towards the diamonds in the darkness.

It’s time to experience the luminous power of living from your unarguable personal truth

Your path to satisfaction – to escaping the false security of mediocrity – is to learn two things

• To think for yourself, and redefine the terms of your engagement with the world.
• To know and trust what you really want, and to follow that with humility and devotion.

I’m here to guide you to do exactly that.

This isn’t another surface level patch up job, glossing over the cracks in your facade with leading questions, quick fix affirmations and half assed action.

It’s a subtle structural adjustment, allowing fluid access to a wider range of internal and external resources, to meet a broad scope of contingencies

So you are more able to relax and appreciate the ride , no matter what life throws at you.

I asked Rachael to create a retreat for me, a space for my approaching middle aged soul to shed and be known.

What she created was collaborative, deep, nurturing, safe and expertly held…profound.

Rachael’s facilitation capacity goes deeper than just being grounded. She sat with me in the murky parts of my being, maintaining an unwavering responsiveness with me, a very deep listening.

The transformation I have experienced since working with Rachael has been subtle, sustainable and joyful. There is now a daily effortless sense of knowing who I am.

I just get to be me all of the time now! 

I absolutely recommend weaving some magic with Rachael. You will come to know all of who you are.

Want to create your own sustainable and joyful transformation?

These are the eight steps to Embodying Hope

Each meeting has a specific theme to provide clear context for your exporation:

2.  Wonder

Use the natural polarity created by a body based check-in to acknowledge your true experience and uncover your deepest desire

Overcome resistance to change and avoidance of action for fear of failure

Focus on a relevant and achievable overarching goal for the program.

Gain clarity and motivation, by committing to a soul nourishing and liberating daily practice to maintain your growing connection with your chosen destination

4.  Disruption

Take the time to patiently open your heart and mind to the value of underused alternative beliefs and behaviours

Subvert your habitual shame/grief suffocating patterns

Breathe new possibility and enthusiasm into previously overwhelming tasks/situations.

Gain freedom and energy through offering yourself patience and compassion.

6.  Delight

Sink into the thrill of being you, with gentle guidance to open to and stay present with pleasure

Subvert feelings of awkwardness, unfamiliarity or embarrassing inadequacy

Immerse yourself in the exquisite pleasure of your natural blooming 

Gain the softness of flowing contentment in your own sensuality

8.  Direction

Reconnect with your true purpose, and acknowledge how far you’ve come already.

Overcome lingering vestiges of uncertainty, self doubt or unworthiness

Celebrate your unique achievements and general magnificence

Gain humility and courage to continue with steadfast devotion along your personal path of profound and uplifting self acceptance.

for friends and witnesses

Here’s *exactly* how you’ll turn “grrrrrrrr!”  into “great! Let’s go!”.

You’ll be able to extract a relaxing dose of inner peace and a natural burst of creative energy

from your feeling space

Because sensitive feeling enables you to

• gently open to and embrace the uncomfortable and unfamiliar sensations you have been avoiding / denying

• explore and unravel the elegant entanglement of feelings, beliefs and experiences that have been getting in the way of you simply doing what you want and need to do.

• acknowledge and claim your truth, along with the surprising permission and joy it brings to your thinking and acting

The result of repeated practice of weaving together thinking and feeling is to 

• Develop your ability to think for yourself (rather than against yourself)
  
• Stop those unnecessary “am I good enough?” doubts taking up precious bandwidth and falsely limiting your growth potential
• Increase your ability to trust and follow what you truly need and desire

• Rest into “I can definitely achieve this in perfect time” confidence based on the confluence of your capacity and commitment

That’s a lot of words to absorb and process!

In case you’re wondering

Your curiosity is enough

Your curiosity is the thread of  longing that draws you forward along your unique personal path.

Your curiosity cannot be measured by looking at IQ cleverness, or EQ success.

You behaving more thoughtfully, sensitively, emotionally than the average person – that’s your curiosity at work.

Your curiosity is manifest in the series of choices and actions that have formed and continue to form your extraordinary – beyond average – life.

It is your quiet curiosity which

• Brings you to a decision point 
• helps you overcome your doubts and fears
• encourages you to choose your bravest next step, 
• Shows you the exact assistance you require along the way,
• surprises you with a blinding spark of magic when you need it most, 
• allows you to be accepted and embraced by a group of exceptional humans as unique as you are
• reminds you that you are human, and your greatest resource is your natural connection with other human beings who love you  (and all the other beings on the planet)

Yes, your curiosity is enough, and more than enough – your curiosity is plenty

Your curiosity needs a responsive audience

If you could reach this kind of freedom on your own, you’d be there by now

You are familiar with the idea of freedom – inside your head.

What you lack is permission to be as free thinking/sensing/feeling around other people as you are when you’re alone.

To simply be yourself, when you’re not by yourself.

Arrival is the experience you’re missing:

Being met and welcomed, with open hearted grace, when you’re absolutely sparkling, as well as when you’re absolutely not.

Inside Freeing the Invisible Woman,  you’ll come to truly believe that all of you, all of your curiosity, is welcome here, and you’ll finally feel free to

• Wear what you like (not what everybody else wears)
• Say what you think (not what others want to hear)
• Do what lights you up (not what others say you should do)
• Have what’s important to you (not what others tell you is valuable)
• Go places that call you (not where others say is best to go)

Look out world!

The two extreme parts of your life you hide from most people 

– the low and slow moments, when you’re feeling lost and alone, your mind crushing you down and inward –

+ the high speed leaps of blinding insight that come effortlessly to you but leave many folks around you feeling confused and nonplussed.

> are the highlights that will reward you most when you allow yourself to be held and  witnessed by another human being enabling you to explore deeper and further than ever before.

Feel welcome and embraced in your awkard moments
