Supporting young people starts with understanding and affirming them.
It starts with slowing down to truly see what’s beneath behaviors and dysregulation.
It starts with reimagining systems rooted in outdated ideas and expectations.
Whether we’re parenting, teaching, or leading, it starts with us.
Rachel provides workshops, coaching and consultation for parents and educators who seek to move past knee-jerk reactions and habitual patterns of dealing with stress in order to instead show up with the calm, clarity and compassion that leads to change.
We have culture-shifting work to do.
“Insightful, responsive and caring, Rachel is an invaluable resource for school communities. Her research and professional expertise in understanding the social-emotional needs of young children and adolescents is unparalleled and needed now more than ever.”
— Bill McCarthy, Head of The Hamilton School at Wheeler
