Working with Rachel I felt very comfortable and at ease. She really helped me get present and I am now able to ground myself. I usually had a hard time with that. I was able to connect with myself in Rachel’s presence, allowing her to transform some PTSD memories into powerful moments of taking my body back and claiming it as mine, post sexual abuse as a child. | Rachel helped me claim my body as my own and helped me to set strong boundaries with current and future sexual partners. I was able to learn how to honor my own body and other’s while in my presence. I usually have a hard time connecting during sex and speaking my no because of my past sexual abuse. Rachel helped me get into my body and allowed me to work through/feel things I have had shame about in a new way. I was able to transform a lot of my pain into personal power. | I feel incredibly safe with Rachel. She helped me to feel safe even in intimate moments where I spoke my truth and poured my heart into her office. I was able to let myself be seen in the most vulnerable of ways in our sessions. |
Working with Rachel was the beginning of building a relationship with my inner child. I was able to take back parts of me I lost so long ago in childhood. She set a beautiful foundation for a relationship with myself. I experienced healing on many levels. I allowed myself to find my battered and bruised inner child and hold her once again. | Rachel is a relationship expert specializing in healing our relationship with ourselves allowing us to have richer, more full relationships in all other aspects of our lives, as well. | I recommend working with Rachel to begin exploring how to have the relationships that are authentic and secure with yourself, your body, and others. She helps with learning and teaching boundaries and healing the wounds of childhood pain and trauma by helping you to claim yourself once again. I love working with Rachel and I get to live an empowered life sexually and emotionally because of her work. |
Rachel’s presence is one of open allowing for all that is, in it’s honest truth. Her calm presence is an invitation for the little ones living in the shadow of my psyche to come out and be nourished with warmth and light. There is a gentleness that is accompanied by boldness that is difficult to articulate, but it’s this combination that creates the safety I experienced in my sessions with her. She also readily acknowledged that my experience is not hers, yet displayed a thorough understanding through both deep listening and reflection. | I particularly recommend Rachel’s work for people who feel alone, or as some outlier in their sexual and intimate worlds. One statement that she said that will always stick with me is, “People do that.” This simple statement placed at just the right moment when I felt so alone in my personal experience and expression of my identity opened a door for me to allow myself to be more authentic. | I really enjoyed the pairing of Rachel’s expert listening paired with the exercises, as it gave me a scaffolding to work with while we delved into deep waters, venturing forth from the known needs, wants and desires and into the unfolding of who I am. Above all, the gem I walked away with was that “who I am” is not static, and that the fluidity of my human experience and expression is just that- fluid and ever changing, just as we see in nature. |
I value nature, I center my life around it, and Rachel is able to use my love of nature and see myself in it. In the same way that I value my children, and thus can value my own inner child. | Rachel specializes in the queer experience. | Through my experience in relating closely with others who are working with her, the work continues and begins to manifest as a culture of openness, compassion and depth. |
I felt very comfortable working with Rachel, although it may have appeared I wasn’t, but truth be told I was simply processing my thoughts and what she was helping me with. | Rachel helped me understand myself. I now understand that there is nothing wrong with who I am as a person. Also, I was trying to figure out my sexual identity, but after our sessions I’ve come to realize I am perfectly comfortable with my heterosexuality. Just because I am single and have been for sometime now doesn’t mean I can’t be loved or appreciated by a man (which is what I desire). I learned that I still had healing to do and that’s ok. I have learned to be patient with myself and appreciate the time I have with myself. I definitely experienced a breakthrough with growth and transformation: self love; a healthy self love. I no longer question who I am but rather I now accept who I am whole heartedly, understanding that things take time. To me it is clear Rachel has a gift for understanding, patience, and unconditional love. I am ever so thankful for the time Rachel spent helping me. Rachel is an amazing human being with such a gentle soul! I absolutely felt safe with her. Rachel didn’t judge me or push me in any way. She listens attentively, and is very intuitive. When I decided to not continue our sessions you respected my decision. Although our time was short, those moments will last me a lifetime. | I felt relief to have someone who could assist me during a very difficult time. |
We only had a couple sessions…but in those I was dealing a partner who was not showing up for me during an extended crisis.. Our time helped me see that I was not being respected, honored, listened to and developed the skills to change through her work with me. She also helped me to stop blaming myself for everything. I learned to allow others to show up with me in the process, ultimately experiencing intimacy by doing the things I thought weren’t allowed, like rest, self care, vulnerability, boundaries, and even delicious sex by learning more about my turn ons and teaching others how to be in love with me. | I felt safe and heard with Rachel. | Rachel has such a warm and calming presence that makes me feel totally safe to express what my feelings, needs, and goals are in our journey. She is a wonderful active listener, whether you need someone to relate to your experiences or just provide comforting validation. |
Rachel is an excellent teacher when she guides me through transformative practices and exercises. | Coming from a very conservative religious upbringing, I had a lot of lifelong childhood wounds that caused me shame, dissociation, and anxiety, especially as a queer transnonbinary person. Needless to say, those experiences have interfered with my ability to experience pleasure in my body. | Through my sessions with Rachel, my perspective and relationship with myself and others have undergone a radical transformation for the better. Thanks to the tools and exercises she has provided me, I feel so much more embodied and in tune to my needs, AND I feel much more equipped to communicate with my loved ones, even when it’s challenging. I am excited to continue cultivating an embodied and pleasurable life through future sessions. |
Our session totally lit me UP! I was able to continue exuding my power and I still feel it. Knowing how sexy and full I was feeling yesterday has kept me chasing that high. I found myself many times today, spot checking to ask if what I was doing or how I was doing it brought me pleasure and closer to myself. This is such a re-learning for me, but I am 100% excited that I am able to actively participate in my own “coming home” process! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your role as my coach and my friend. I am in deep appreciation that you not only are helping me navigate this journey and create such a safe space to be completely raw and seen, but that you bear witness to my experience each session | Rachel is 100% present, supportive, and empathetic. In our sessions she prioritizes connection over teaching specific tools, which I feel is very effective because it grounds the work in a special way. When she teaches the tools she adds a personal touch and encourages me to use them in ways that feel good to me. I don’t know how important it is to know the details and context of each tool but sometimes it feels like she’s tossing me the keys and saying “drive”, rather than going over the user’s manual. The brainy part of me wants more details, but it also feels good to turn off the brainy part a little and just experiencing the tools as given. | Rachel Levesque I love your authentic support! You are the woman who has given me permission to be me & that I am alright.💜 I reflect on our sessions when I am in doubt or weary….thank you for leading me to my path. For I walk lighter because of you. Love you |
