Through working with a huge variety of groups over many years, Rachel has become a very effective, relaxed and intuitive facilitator.

‘Rachel, you’re an amazingly connected facilitator. You intuitively know what we need, follow your gut, allow what needs to happen happen, go with the flow with each love and connection.’ Lorraine, regular participant.’

What Rachel brings to her workshops is a commitment to her own personal healing journey, innate and intuitive musicality, a fascination with energy work and multicultural healing modalities, a knowledge of wisdom from global cultures, a deep awareness of the particular times we are living through and the urgency of cultivating interconnectedness, healing, care for the planet and each other and a lifelong passion for group harmony singing.
