Hi, I’m Rachel

Influenced by my background in teaching high school history, professional experience in the social services sector, and my recent work to become certified in life coaching with a specialty focus in ADHD, Thriving Minds reflects my vision in its simplest form - to meet students where they’re at.

I live on Bainbridge Island, WA, where I share a home with a wonderfully neurodiverse crew of humans, a mischievous dog named Pepper, and a bolshy cat named Lumberjack, who constantly tries to steal my yoga mat.

I’m excited to connect and help you on your journey!
