​Meet Rachel Smith
BSN, RN
Holistic Wellness Coach for Women

Hi, I'm Rachel. Nurse, Mom of Three, and Your Partner in Feeling Like Yourself Again.

​

I help busy women break free from stress and burnout and build habits that fit the lives they actually live. I know that life well, because I'm living it too.

​

My Story

​

For more than 18 years, I've worked as a Registered Nurse, caring for people facing complex health challenges. Nursing taught me that health is never one-dimensional. Sleep, stress, emotions, relationships, and daily habits all shape how we feel.

​

At home, I'm a mom of three. I know the full calendar, the mental load, and the way your own needs quietly slide to the bottom of the list. I've been there, in the moment where I found myself snapping at my kids because I had absolutely nothing left to give. 

​

That experience changed how I see my work. Most women don't need more information about what's healthy. They need support turning what they know into changes that last. That's why I became a Holistic Nurse Coach.

​

Why a Nurse Coach, Not a Life Coach?

​

Life coaching can be helpful, but anyone can call themselves a life coach. No license is required.

​

As a Registered Nurse, I bring clinical training and years of experience to every session. I understand how chronic stress affects your sleep, energy, and physical health. I'm held to nursing standards of practice. And I'm trained to recognize when something needs a doctor or therapist, so you get the right kind of help.

How I Can Help You

 

Most women come to me because of one of these:

​

  • Stress and overwhelm. You feel pulled in every direction and can't remember the last time your mind was quiet.    (See Stress Coaching for more)

​

​

​

 

What I Believe

 

  • Small steps beat big overhauls. Lasting change starts with knowing what to change first.

​

  • You are a whole person. Body, mind, emotions, and spirit all affect each other.

​

  • Your plan should fit your life. No one-size-fits-all programs, because there's no one-size-fits-all woman.

​

  • Progress, not perfection. A modified goal you keep showing up for still counts.

​

A Little More About Me

 

When I'm not coaching, you'll find me outdoors: hiking, biking, or on the water with my kids. I've completed triathlons, including one where an injury meant scaling back to a shorter race. It reminded me that showing up for a modified goal still counts, and I bring that mindset to my coaching.

​

I also love my garden, a good planner on Sunday afternoons, and spending quality time with my husband and kids.

​

I also believe in a power higher than self. I am religious and Christian based. My faith has always been my guiding star. Regardless of where you are in your health and life journey, those who identify with a higher power (be it God, someone, or something more than just yourself) often have the most transformative outcomes among those I coach. 

​

Let's Talk

 

You've spent enough time taking care of everyone else. Let's figure out what you need, and where to start.

​"I had been feeling stuck. As a mom of four kids who works full time, my schedule is packed, and making healthy changes felt like this enormous, overwhelming challenge I couldn't quite figure out how to tackle on my own. I knew I needed an accountability partner who could help me think things through and break it down into something manageable. The fact that we could meet online for an hour each week made it possible — that dedicated time to step back and focus on me was invaluable."
