Business overview
Create Yourself Coaching is a boutique coaching practice led by ICF-qualified executive coach and leadership facilitator Rachael - a passionate advocate for helping ambitious, intelligent women reconnect with their true selves and break free from burnout, self-doubt, and people-pleasing.Through a powerful blend of neuroscience, right-brain creative coaching, and nervous system regulation, Rachael supports women in midlife to create meaningful change, not just in their mindset, but in how they lead, live, and show up in the world.
Whether you're feeling stuck, in transition, or simply ready for more ease and clarity, this is coaching that empowers you to become the most authentic, fulfilled version of yourself, on your terms.
Products and services I offer
I offer 1:1 transformational coaching and group programs for ambitious women in midlife who are ready to break free from burnout, people-pleasing, and overthinking, and reconnect with their authentic selves.Using a neuroscience-based approach, I support women to rewire limiting beliefs, regulate their nervous systems, and create powerful mindset shifts. My signature Create Yourself coaching method blends right-brain visualisation, nervous system tools, and the science of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) to help clients get clear on what they want, and start attracting it.
I also facilitate leadership workshops and wellbeing sessions for organisations seeking to empower their people through human-centred development.

Testimonials
"I’ve had a few different Executive Coaches over the years and in a crowded market, from my perspective Rachael stands out. I believe an investment in coaching is always worthwhile, but it can be coach dependent. I found Rachael to be generous with her time, her resources and her availability. Rather than being an advice-giver, Rachael brings technical coaching techniques with some really great intuition in terms of new things to try, and she combines it with her own personal experiences to bring things to life. In my experience Rachael also balances the right amount of challenge with support. Racheal helped me to become my own ‘work bestie’ however I always felt like I had someone in my corner." - Kirsty, Head of People Partnering."I’d strongly recommend working with Rachael as a holistic coach who showed a unique ability to quickly and easily understand my strengths as well as my core motivations. She showed incredible skill in elevating my self-awareness to value how those two elements play out in my leadership style and offered practical, emergent ways of balancing them out so I can progress into the next stage of my growth as a leader. I found her style to be open, consistent and empathetic. It’s been an absolute pleasure getting to know her as a person and I still stay connected her for ongoing professional development." - Natasha Commercial Development Director
