A gentle place to put down what you’ve been carrying.

I’m a psychosynthesis life coach, tarot reader, Reiki Master and licensed Kuan Yin Transmission™ practitioner here in Humboldt County.

When you come to me, we begin with a short guided meditation and a prayer for protection, cleansing, and guidance. From there we go at the pace your heart needs. You can see me in person here in Humboldt, or from anywhere by phone or video.

How tarot found me

My Story

Rachel smiling in her wide-brimmed hat above a deep blue pool, with golden autumn trees on the cliffs behind her

Tarot found me in 2012, when my life was starting over and I had a lot of questions. Soon after, a friend gave me the Medicine Cards deck. Its animal teachings helped me understand my feelings and learn to trust myself.

The years that followed weren’t easy. I moved five times, changed careers, and raised two kids. The cards and prayer carried me through, and they showed me the beauty hiding in hard seasons.

Since then I have studied tarot with the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, energy healing with Alana Fairchild, and astrology. I also spent 16 weeks immersed in Kuan Yin Transmission, and it changed my life, inside and out.

My lineage

My Teacher and the Divine Mothers

I am a licensed Kuan Yin Transmission™ practitioner, trained by my teacher, Alana Fairchild, best-selling author of the Kuan Yin Oracle. A session feels a lot like relaxing into a massage, except what you receive is energy, comfort and support.

Five Divine Mothers come through in the transmission:

  • Kuan Yin
  • Mother Mary
  • Tara
  • Isis
  • Kali

“The transmission is like taking medicine, and the Divine Mother knows just the amount you need.”

The heart of my work

Living the Beauty Way

Through the transpersonal dimension of psychosynthesis, as we begin to disidentify from old patterns, we open ourselves to a deeper awareness of our soul and its qualities of love, joy, patience, and creativity. As we consciously embody these qualities in our daily lives, we begin to live in greater harmony with our true nature, a way of being I call Living the Beauty Way.

Psychosynthesis is not about becoming someone else. It is about bringing the many aspects of ourselves into greater harmony and discovering the fullness of who we truly are.
