about Rachel
I started my conventional work life with a degree in biochemistry and statistics, and became a high-school teacher. Since then I've worked in a variety of roles, most of them offering various modalities that promote well being and awareness, like Feldenkrais, qi gong and mindfulness meditation. I've worked in the area of organisational wellbeing and with clients relative to themes of stress, grief, trauma and loss. I’m currently training to practise as a biodynamic craniosacral therapist.
Mindfulness has always been at the heart of my work and one of my deep interests is in seeing adults and children learn to live with more ease, well being and joy. I know at first hand our human capacity for pain, and I have understood that it is the mind which creates and perpetuates the most intense suffering. I have found mindfulness practice to be wonderful in learning to slow down to a more natural pace of Life, to uncover limiting thinking patterns, and to cultivate more ease, positivity and spontaneity in the daily duties of everyday life.
The spiritual journey, of re-discovering the natural and inherent joy that comes from simply Being - and finding out all that lies in the way of that - is increasingly informing my work with others.
