Rachel Martins

(she/her)

Rachel is passionate about supporting parents as they intentionally create a connected relationship with their children. Rachel has worked as a teacher with immigrant populations for over 15 years, is a certified life coach, and is the mother of 3 daughters. Through her teaching of diverse populations, her journey raising three daughters and her personal spiritual path, she has developed a unique set of skills that allow her to easily create community and empower parents in order to improve their relationship with their children and make the parenting journey more joyful.

As a Life Coach for parents, Rachel uses insightful questions to guide parents as they identify their values in their parenting relationships, intentionally create relationships that align with their values, and work to find solutions as challenges arise in their families.

In 1-on-1 coaching, Rachel meets parents where they are in their relationship with their children and supports them as they move through the process of making the changes necessary to create the relationship they desire with their children. Rachel is skilled at creating a safe, comfortable, and fun space in which parents feel safe honestly sharing their struggles, so that they can move forward from a place of empowerment and love.

Rachel's passion for this work stems from her own personal experiences with the ways in which Life Coaching helped her transform her difficult relationship with parenting and with her daughters. Rachel believes that all parents come to parenting with intense love for their children and an earnest desire to be wonderful parents, but often without a strong model for how to parent as we want to- with connection, empathy, open communication and joy. Through her work coaching Rachel helps parents find more connection and joy in parenting, a path that honors who they are as people, as well as who their children are, empowerment in the process of parenting, a path that allows them to navigate all of the challenges of parenting with understanding, connection, and love, and healthy and supportive ways to manage the stress of life.
