This is the second stage of healing, where you stop revisiting the past and start building what’s next
CREATING AND EVOLVING
With the right support, you can release old patterns, make decisions with clarity instead of pressure, and build a business and life that reflect who you actually are - not who you’ve been trying to be.
FOUNDER OF CREATING & EVOLVING
Hi, I’m Rachel!
I’m a licensed clinical social worker by training, a coach by practice, and someone who understands how easy it is to know exactly what you need to do - and still hesitate when it’s time to act.
After more than a decade working as a clinical psychotherapist, I began noticing a familiar pattern. People would make real progress, gain awareness, and find relief – but still felt stuck. They felt safer and understood themselves more deeply, but still held themselves back because they were afraid of failure and the unknown. They were healing from the past, but not progressing into their future.
I saw this in my clients, and I experienced it myself. Therapy helped me understand my patterns and find stability, but coaching helped me translate that insight into progress.
Creating & Evolving grew from this exact intersection. It’s for people who aren’t in crisis, but still feel stuck. For those who are ready for clear, supportive guidance— so they can move forward with confidence, make grounded decisions, and build momentum without abandoning their values or burning themselves out.

"I think it was super helpful to start with my sense of identity and restructuring it in this new phase of life."
Overall this process has helped me tap into my vulnerability. I also found it helpful being held to take action. Being left with items to work on between calls kept me engaged in the work and motivation up. It's helped me not feel so overwhelmed by needing to produce a final result, but instead finding the joy in the process. The identity work was a huge shift for me! I hadn't conceptualized that I can restructure my identity as I change and grow. (The coaching) was centered around my needs at any given time we met. The space always felt open and safe to share where I was.

“Rachel’s approach is unconventional, which is exactly what I was looking for.”
“What I most enjoyed about Rachel’s life coaching approach is how it intertwined with my business. It was incredibly helpful having someone truly understand how I tick and help quiet the noise so I could gain clarity. I now feel confident setting healthy boundaries in both my personal and business life, and in taking necessary risks that align with my goals.”
-Selema Lawson-Jack
“You’ve been pivotal in my growth and maturation."
I’m so grateful for the heart that you have to do what you do to serve others. You are a tremendous blessing to people. Thank you for helping me reach my 30’s without being stuck in my 20’s mindsets.
-Daniel Gonzalez
“I have found more ways to be authentic and confident."
When asked about her experience, Orchid noted what was most enjoyable is that our signature coaching "feels so practical and achievable and very action/solution oriented.” Through the coaching process she says, "I feel like I don’t need to settle and I can strive for more!” Her advice when asked to describe her coaching experience to someone considering working with us: “If you want to change your life, do it."
