to heal trauma wounds

 

Welcome to Freedom to Breathe,

where compassionate therapy meets evidence-based healing.

With a focus on EMDR, Schema, & Relational Intelligence, I support adults and couples through trauma.

 Let’s create change together.

 
 

Hi there, I’m Rachael

I'm passionate about trauma and relational healing through individual and couples therapy.

Together, we'll make sense of your experiences, giving voice to your feelings.

Through trauma therapy, we can lessen reactivity in life and build trust in ourselves and others.

With sensitivity, curiosity, and humour, I'm here to journey with you."

  • SO CALM AND RESPONSIVE

    “After 40 years of carrying trauma, I reached out to Rachel not having had any previous experience in EMDR or trauma therapy. At first, I was very nervous, however Rachel was so calm and responsive to my nervousness at the first appointment, I found myself being able to relax.”

  • PROFOUND EXPERIENCE

    “I found my experience with Rachael to be profound. I really enjoyed the intensive style of work. Although it was indeed intense, I felt deeply safe with Rachael at all times no matter what came up in the reprocessing.”
