Rachel's superpower is empathetic relating, compassionately guiding us to our blind spots and empowering individuals to reclaim their inherent wisdom. Fascinated by animist psychology, Jungian depth psychology, decolonial depth psychology, existential, and humanistic theories, she believes the mind, body, and spirit are inseparable. She is a mystic, intuitive, and an earth-based medicine ceremonial initiate in the Amazonia Shipibo tradition.

Rachel's life experience brings the desire to support individuals curious about exploring their own relationship to spirituality, experiencing spiritual crisis, those undergoing major life transitions, and military veterans. In her spare time, she's been known to front a rock band or two, scale a nearby peak, and read tarot and astrology for the ethereally curious. New Mexico green chile for the win!
