ABOUT ME
2018, I stumbled upon this idea that mindset is a key pillar for actors and the way you perceive yourself and the industry around you can actually make or break your career. I had nothing to lose, so I put in the work and my career and life has completely changed for the better because of it. I truly believe that you cannot have longevity in your acting career unless you have a strong and healthy mindset. That doesn’t mean every day will feel like rainbows and butterflies (it might though), but it does mean you will form unshakeable belief in your worth as an actor, whether you book a certain job or not, and when imposter syndrome rears it’s ugly head, you’ll have the tools to move through it and allow yourself to shine.
In my sessions I use my training in neuro-linguistic programming with my own learnings to support you in becoming the actor you have always wanted to be.
My name is Rachel and I’m an actor and mindset coach, based south of Sydney, Australia. I graduated University with a Bachelor of Performance in 2013 and began my journey as an actor, and I’ll be honest, it hasn’t been an easy one. For years, I had no idea what mindset even was and so carried around many limiting beliefs that I wasn’t good enough, waiting for someone in the industry to give me external validation to believe I was worthy of ever being cast in a role. I dreaded conversations where someone would ask “Oh you’re an actor, what have I seen you in?”, I felt the need to “hustle” all the time to prove to myself I was working hard enough, and (this one is hard to admit) I was jealous of any other actor who was getting the auditions and jobs I so desperately wanted.

TESTIMONIALS
“Three words I would use to describe my coaching sessions with Rachel: Powerful, Life changing, Warm. The very first time I met Rachel, I immediately felt like she is someone whom I can be totally open and vulnerable with. I’m not one who feel like I can immediately open up to a stranger, but Rachel’s warm and friendly demeanour made me feel that I was in a safe space. Rachel took the time to listen to the challenges that I was facing and takes a gentle and warm approach to understanding her clients. She is highly skilled in what she does and in just 3 sessions with her, I’ve had a big breakthrough with shifting limiting beliefs and negative emotions that have been holding me back from living my best life.”

My session with Rach was great! I really enjoyed it and was able to release some negative feelings and beliefs in a way that was actually really fun! We also worked on setting some really exciting and specific goals, with actionable steps for me to work towards making them a reality!
