About Rachel
I’m a High Performance Creative Coach and Branding Strategist with 25+ years of experience across music, athletics, nonprofit arts leadership, marketing, communications, and high-performance coaching. My work sits at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and personal leadership—supporting individuals and teams to do exceptional work without burning out.
Classically trained as a professional musician and refined through competitive athletics and leadership training, I bring discipline, focus, and resilience to every project—paired with deep empathy and big-picture thinking.
Because work and life flow together best when balanced, I draw inspiration from movement and music—boxing, running, skateboarding, yoga, surfing, hiking, flute playing, and house & techno music DJing. I believe creative excellence is a full mind-body practice.
Areas of expertise:
• High performance coaching for professionals, athletes, artists, and musicians
• Leadership development
• Vision, mission & strategic planning
• Marketing, branding, and communications strategy
• Project management, team leadership, and talent development
Let’s connect if you’re ready to expand your creative expression, improve your personal and professional results, and live vibrantly at your highest level.
