Meet Rachel
Life coach, digital nomad, and firm believer that it's never too late to redesign your life.
I’ve been there. I worked hard, built a career, kept showing up even when something inside me was quietly burning out. I was good at what I did. On paper, everything looked fine. But I'd lost the sense that my life was actually mine.
I reached a point where I knew something had to change. Not a tweak. A proper rethink.
So I made big changes in small steps. I bought a van and converted her into a campervan. I took weekend breaks. Then a longer trip, around the North Coast 500, blending holiday with working remotely. In 2023 I left behind the conventional, packed my life into the van and became a full-time digital nomad. I've been living and working remotely ever since, through 8 countries and counting! I’ve never looked back.
I'm sharing because there are many ways to create your change through small, sustainable, steps and little experiments (like that first trip where I worked on the road) that can help make a safe and smooth transition.
I know, first-hand, that a different kind of life is possible and it starts with just believing it's available to you.
Why I became a life coach
I built a life with more freedom, and I want to help others do the same.
The world of work is shifting faster than most people realise. With AI the way we work, where we work, and what work even looks like is changing dramatically. That creates real opportunity for women who are ready to think differently about what comes next.
I became a coach because I've lived this transition, I understand it deeply, and I know how to help you navigate it without overwhelm.
How I work with you
Clients often tell me they choose to work with me because I'm calm, patient, and steady. I don't push. I don't rush. I meet you exactly where you are.
But I also bring something else. Before I became a life coach, I spent over 20 years in the digital and technology world as a delivery manager and Scrum Master — including roles with the Ministry of Justice and, most recently, Cureoscity. My job was to take complex, tangled projects and help teams move from "this feels impossible" to "this is done." I'm an Advanced Certified ScrumMaster, and at heart I've always been a coach: a servant-leader who helps people find their own way forward, one clear step at a time.
Earlier in that journey, I was Manager and Lead Coach at Google's Digital Garage, leading a team of 15 coaches delivering digital skills training to small businesses and the public. That work included delivering the Start Your Own Business and Getting Your Business Online courses. So helping someone turn a daunting idea into a real, workable plan? That's not new to me. It's some of the most rewarding work I've ever done.
That's exactly what I bring to our sessions.
Goals become plans. Plans become action. Action taken gently, at your pace, becomes a new chapter.
You'll leave our sessions feeling clearer, not more overwhelmed. That's a promise.
From the classroom to the open road
Leading the coaching team at Google's Digital Garage showed me something I've never forgotten: most people don't lack ambition, they lack a clear, gentle first step. I watched person after person walk in unsure and walk out with a plan they actually believed in. That's the work I love, and it's exactly what I do now - just from a campervan, and one woman at a time.
My commitment to you
Coaching is built on trust. When you work with me, you deserve to feel safe, respected, and clear about what our relationship involves right from the start. Here's what you can always expect from me:
Honesty and transparency
I'll be clear and truthful about who I am, what I offer, and how coaching works before we begin and throughout our time together. I'll never overstate what coaching can do, and I'll always work within the boundaries of my qualifications and experience.
Your confidentiality, protected
Everything you share with me stays with me. I treat your privacy with the greatest care including how I store notes, handle communications, and use any digital tools. The only exception would be if I had a legal or safeguarding obligation to share information, and I would always explain this clearly in our agreement beforehand.
A clear agreement from the start
Before we begin working together, we'll agree on how our coaching relationship works including how the sessions work, the fees, our responsibilities to each other, and how either of us can bring things to a close. No surprises, no small print.
Your needs, always centred
I'm here to serve your growth not my own agenda. If I ever feel that a different coach, resource, or form of support would be more helpful to you, I'll say so openly. And I'll always hold appropriate, professional boundaries in our relationship.
Respect and inclusion
I am committed to working in a way that is fair, respectful, and free from discrimination. Every client deserves to feel seen and valued, exactly as they are.
I trained with the The Coaching Academy and uphold the ICF Code of Ethics in all my professional interactions. If you ever have a concern about our work together, please know you can always come to me directly — I take that responsibility seriously.
