Testimonials
"I'm gonna try to make a long story short but I'm filled with so much gratitude. I could go on and on about what my sessions with Racquel are doing for my emotional health, my well-being, and even my physical health, but I'll spare you.😊
I've done traditional psychotherapy for at least a decade. Often having to go twice a week due to the trauma that I've experienced from my childhood and beyond. And only once did I come upon a traditional therapist, who was genuinely interested in helping me to recover. But even going to this therapist twice a week for more than two years I was not able to recover to the point that I'm recovering now. It’s been less than a year and I can hardly believe how I'm recovering and how good I'm beginning to feel! Because what Racquel has done is teach me to rewrite my entire life and mindset. This has been really cool to say the least! Truthfully it's been empowering and I've never felt this way, ever! Thank you!!!💌💕"

"Words are not enough to express the gratitude I have for Racquel and the incredible work that she does. I’ve been completely intrigued by her work since she first described in detail the methods she would be putting into practice during our sessions. The tools that she has taught me have helped me immensely not only with my relationships with my kids and others, but managing stress and also overcoming a particular trauma that caused a major phobia throughout most of my childhood all the way into adulthood. She has given me to tools to comfort my inner child that has been in desperate need of some TLC. Her work is truly life changing!

“Racquel is such a caring and skilled practitioner! Both my husband and daughter have had individual sessions with her, and she has been absolutely instrumental in helping them work through their past traumas. She is not only knowledgeable, but her warmth, patience, and prompt follow up clearly show that she truly cares about her clients' well being. On a personal note, whenever I feel triggered or emotionally lost, Racquel consistently provides the clarity and guidance I need, and her extensive knowledge of the nervous system, how the body stores trauma, and emotional health/regulation make her an invaluable resource in this field. She provides effective strategies to overcome so many different issues, and our family feels so blessed to have her in our lives!”

"I reached out to Racquel after seeing one of her Tiktoks describing why emotional problems can be stubborn. Her visual descriptions resonated with me and I thought she had a gift for elucidating complex ideas/feelings. During my sessions, I felt that Racquel listens actively and teases out real issues I need to to work on. Her sessions are guided and thoughtfully structured. After each session, she provides detailed notes, as well as an audio clip (like meditative affirmations) for me to cultivate healthier patterns of thinking. Both during and between sessions, I’ve found Racquel to be warm, patient and genuine. Through the process, I feel stronger, more mindful and in control of designing my own future. It really has been a helpful and wonderful experience. So, thank you!”

"Racquel has helped me with the anxiety and fear I had when flying on an airplane. With her help, I was able to feel relaxed and comfortable during the 3 flights that I took in a span of 2 weeks. I was amazed at how my sessions with her truly helped ease the anxiety and fears I had towards flying.”

“For a long time the thought of any type of therapy just didn’t seem like something I was interested in exploring. I believed I was ok and that it was for someone who had more issues than myself. A few years ago I went through a life changing experience that left me broken and depressed. I had heard about the work that Racquel was doing as a practioner and felt it was worth exploring. It has been the best decision I have made in my journey of healing. Through the process I have learned how much emotions I have been holding on to. It was so hard to open up at first. Any emotion that wanted to escape, I would do my best to control it. I have learned that it is ok to take care of myself because if I don’t, I can’t help others around me. Even though I am still on my journey of healing, I am finding more peace and acceptance. I am so glad that I took the step to seek support.”

“Racquel has helped me in so many ways no one has ever done before. She helped me realize I can control my feelings, and she’s taught me to never give up. Honestly I wouldn’t be this energetic or opened up if it weren’t for her. I am so thankful for all she has given me. She’s made me realize I’m worth living. And for that I owe her so much and I am very thankful. Thank you Racquel for helping me and being patient with me.”

“My13 year old daughter, Starlee, struggled with separation anxiety since she was around 4 years old. The anxiety just seemed to get worse as she got older and became more aware of how life worked. Starlee struggled the worse during her 6th grade year to the point of illnesses coming on and taking a toll on her body from the stress. I had NO idea how to walk her through this and struggled watching her cry, feel nauseous and have no appetite and blame me for "doing this to her!" I was lost and felt my lowest to know as a mom that I was failing to help my own child. God sent a co worker in my life to one day vent to and cry out for any help I can get. She was the one that referred me to Racquel. She worked with Starlee and worked with me on how to help guide Starlee in these situations. She helped me get better as a mom in areas i was struggling in. In only 4 sessions I literally have to say my daughter was cured! After Starlees first session she told me she felt SO happy and she loved this type of "therapy" rather than the traditional therapy we had tried. Starlee is now able to present and read in front of her teachers and peers without having anxiety or having the upset stomach or throwing up in the morning or losing her appetite during school. She isn't begging me to keep her home from school, she isn't begging me to get her out early. I am amazed with the work Racquel has done in such a short time. It is an absolute miracle! I would say the only regret I have is we didn't find Racquel sooner!
Thank you for all you've done Racquel and I look forward to continuing to work with you to better myself as a friend, mom, partner and overall person. You're amazing!”

“Racquel is such a talented, caring, patient practitioner. I’m forever grateful for the knowledge and tools she’s shared with me, whether it be from one on one sessions or casual conversation. I appreciate the time and energy she puts in each session and she’s helped me cope with various traumas, especially mother wounds and anxiety. She’s taught me how to be kinder and gentler with myself and therefore others. I will carry the lessons she’s taught me for years and years to come. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! “

“My sessions with Racquel has been a game changer. She has helped me understand and be at peace with my inner child and the homework she gives has helped my progression sky rocket from what I thought was possible. I feel more confident, calm, and peaceful with the person I am today, something I never thought I would be able to do. I am very grateful.”

“I love how great I feel after my sessions with Racquel. I could be sad going into the session, and afterwards, I feel much better and ready to take on my challenges. Another great plus is the audio scripts she provides. They’re awesome for relaxation and allow for amazing deep sleep.”

“I’ve worked with a few amazing practitioners over the years that have used different methods. What I find different and unique with Racquel is: 1) she can easily relate to me due to a lot of her personal life experiences 2) she goes above and beyond by providing homework and an audio recording to help keep me actively working on healing in between our sessions 3) she’s the youngest practitioner I’ve come across in this field which allows her to connect well with both younger and older clients 4) she’s fun to work with and she’s authentic 5) I can feel she is genuinely passionate about emotional wellness and 6) she’s very transparent about this type of work, making it clear that we have to do our part by doing homework in between sessions to progress on our healing journey and that this isn’t an overnight thing. I’ve referred her to many of my friends and will continue to highly recommend her to others!”

“My experience with Inside Job was even better than I thought it was going to be. I’ve never done therapy and I thought it would be sessions where I talk and talk. When I heard about the premise of changing your memories I was extremely skeptical that it wouldn’t work for me. I’ll admit my mind did not readily accept the first session or the following “homework”. My inner voice can be mean and negative so naturally it had nothing nice to say about the first session.
But I made myself do it and each session felt more comfortable and as I got used to the daily homework it actually became my go-to coping/soothing mechanism of choice. I realized it was my childhood experiences and memories driving the feelings of fear, worry and negativity in my life. And those things weren’t real anymore, they were no longer happening. So what’s the difference if I choose to remember it a different way that has a positive and stabilizing feeling? Neither is real in that it’s not happening now in the present. But the effect it has is very real so changing it in my mind changed it’s effect in my present day life.
It’s a work in progress, you have to continue to work at changing the mind but the more you do it the easier it is to do. Inside job gave me the training and tools to do it. And the on going support when I need it. So yes I highly recommend it, I wish I would have found it sooner.”

“I can’t say enough about the incredible support and guidance Racquel provided me. She helped me release emotions that had been deeply stored in my body, manifesting as sciatica and nerve pain. Her approach was gentle yet powerful, leading me through a process that allowed me to truly let go of the past emotions weighing me down. Racquel even created a beautiful, customized meditation for me, helping to reinforce this release and replacing old negative memories with peaceful, healing ones. She is truly amazing at what she does, and anyone who has the opportunity to work with her is incredibly fortunate. I am so grateful for her expertise and compassion! Also, by the end of our session, I touched my toes after many days of discomfort!”

Therapy was something I've wanted and needed to do for years but I had always been hesitant. I didn't know what to expect. I had always assumed that therapy would involve me talking a lot about my pain and the things that have taken a huge emotional toll on me and I wasn't sure it would be worth it. Whether opening up those wounds would be worth the pay off. But then a friend, who has tried therapy off and on for years, recommended Racquel. I felt like, not only was Racquel highly recommended, but I was finally ready.
Racquel made me so comfortable during our sessions and she is so practical and encouraging. I didn't have to go into all the details of why past experiences were painful in order for her to help me work through them and change the internal dialogue. I didn't have to open my wounds fully to address them. She asked lots of questions and when she could tell I was overwhelmed, she'd make me laugh and pull me out of my fight or flight response! But then we'd get right back into working through my triggering memories. She made a point to always end the session in a positive mindset and I never felt like I was finishing the session broken or more aware of my pain, but rather stronger and better equipped to build on the progress we made together. Her follow ups between sessions show how much she sincerely cares and wants to help you stay on track towards better mental health! She's just incredible! And I'm so thankful she was first experience with therapy!
