Hi! I’m Rachel
My mission is to show women how to love themselves and each other through yogic practices. I’ve battled the evil powers of addiction, low self esteem and low self confidence and I’m winning! I want to share all I have learnt with you.
Growing up I never felt I was good enough, I felt I had to prove myself for people to love me. I didn’t know how to love myself. I learnt to use alcohol and shopping to disguise my own self hatred. I was manipulated in numerous unhealthy relationships as I searched for true love. Little did I know that it was inside me all that time. I fought the evils of low self esteem, low self confidence, no self love and I won.
I am a recovering addict having lived with my addiction for more than 20 years. I have been sober since December 2016.
Yoga helped me to find my purpose in life and continues to guide my life. I became a teacher in 2011 and have since then I have owned 2 studios and I currently co-own Yoga Beach House where I host retreats, classes and trainings year round.
““In both her professional and personal lives, Rachel has evolved a state of shame and lack into a life of clarity and abundance. Her fear and her doubt have transformed to become a thriving business with integrity, doing work she loves.””

Mentoring for Yoga Teachers
Being a yoga teacher can sometimes be quite a lonely profession with no-one to bounce ideas off or get support from. Having worked as a teacher on my own since 2011, setting up and running my studio and then retreat home, I have a wealth of experience to offer you. Teachers have worked with me on long term projects, business development, lulls in creativity, or more personal issues such as motivation, lack of self belief, intention setting or life coaching. Mentoring takes place in person or via video conferencing. Spaces are limited, please apply here, explaining your reasons for wanting to work with me.
"...I have learned how to really care of myself and take responsibility for myself. I have learned how to set healthy boundaries for myself and others. I have learned to accept myself on a much deeper level. I have learned that it’s OK to sometimes slow down. ... Rachel has this thing about her that after speaking to her you feel totally calm and held. ... She honestly changed my life."
