“For those who are ready or yearning for change, Rachel Kirk provides a safe, warm place where the heart can be playful and express itself. Her weekly sessions, homework, and frequent e-mails transformed me from a person searching for heart-centered work to a person who knows what I want to do for the rest of my life. Part coach, part cheerleader, and always supportive, Rachel also guided me through the difficulties of divorce and relocation. She gave me, or helped me uncover, a deep and abiding trust in myself--an empowering confidence that I can meet whatever arises with strength, compassion, and courage.”
​
-Claudia Johnson, Author and Teacher
"Rachel is an intuitive which means she has a way of seeing in me that which I cannot see myself. I found my sessions with Rachel to be illuminating in that she found the core of what was holding me back in life. Only then was I able to give it less merit and focus on the gifts I have to offer in life. She unlocks what is hidden and affirms what the heart already knows. She speaks the language of the heart and helped me trade distorted thoughts for space and possibility in my life. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone in transition, between jobs, or who is contemplating their next life decision.”

"While I was preparing to serve in the Peace Corps, I was experiencing a lot of doubt about what I had to offer. Rachel enabled me to see doubt for what it was worth, a fear with no merit, and let go of any thoughts that did not serve me. I am grateful to have had Rachel's insight to activate my sense of purpose and move through this challenging transition with renewed confidence."

“To put it succinctly, Rachel saved my life. I was struggling with some very big challenges including the death of my parents, when I was fortunate enough to start working with Rachel. She has a patient, grounded, and totally engaged style. Rachel’s unique insight and attention to the “not so obvious” parts that dwell in all of us simply adds to her ability to journey with you. I recommend her without hesitation.”

“I have been care taking my elderly mother and living in literal crisis mode for the past two years. Feeling alone and helpless I sought professional help and life coaching from Rachel Kirk. I have been through many family-counseling experiences in my life and understand the power of sharing my hopes and fears. Fortunate to know Rachel and the depth of her many people skills. I surrendered completely to her professional coaching style and uncanny ability to help people find their own power. She helped me rediscover strengths and talents I had forgotten or were buried in my stress. When you’re in it, it's hard to see what is needed to be free. What Rachel brought to my table was a lot of persistence and an understanding that my life at this point was full, rich and alive.”

-Brice Butler, Architect
“Rachel’s coaching has been a life saver. I had just lost both of my parents within a short period of time. My decision making and focus had all but disappeared. Rachel helped me to define my priorities and move forward towards a more fulfilling life and career. She is worth her weight in gold. She’s provided true value with her ability to quickly assess situations and guide you with a variety of heartfelt tools, processes and plans of action to encourage successful change, growth and resilience.”

In 2011, I became my 90 year old mother’s full time caregiver. Four years later I crashed mentally, physically and emotionally while self medicating with alcohol and prescription drugs.
On the morning of February 15, 2015 I woke up about 4 a.m. in sweat soaked sheets and knew I couldn’t live like that for one more day. Rachel and I had been friends for ten years and planned a noon meeting for Mexican food. Arriving for lunch, I considered pretending to be OK. Grace and mercy prevailed
and I told her the truth.
Rachel is a wonderful listener and gently guided the revelation of guilt and shame regarding my mom and the dark, addictive secrets. That was almost six years ago and I have never wanted another drink. My relationship with my mother healed quickly
once I became sober. Rachel is an amazing friend but an even better Life Coach.
