Welcome.
I'm Rachel.
For almost a decade, my journey has been a weaving of space exploration and personal transformation.
As former Executive Director for Space for Humanity, I led the first non-profit in human history to send civilians into space (I’ve supported with 6 commercial astronauts).
I’ve woven strategic partnerships across the commercial space sector with organizations such as Virgin Galactic, Axiom, Blue Origin, and others.
I’ve been featured at more than 100 events worldwide, and have been interviewed, mentioned or quoted in outlets including CNN, VICE, ABC News, PBS, Business Insider, USAToday, NPR, and others.
Now, I serve rising leaders who are ready to fulfill their unique vision for humanity.
I’ve worked with leaders ranging from Commercial Astronauts, Lunar Lander Program Directors, Aerospace Engineers, Founders at series A startups, Influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers, and CEO’s just embarking on their space journey.
Every relationship is different, and it’s an honor to steward every person towards their multi-dimensional thriving.
I believe visionary leaders hold the missing key to a thriving world… but it’s not where we’ve be taught.
The key exists within ourselves.
I’m here to guide you in rising in your leadership and impact, while embracing the full power of what it is to be you.
I look forward to hearing from you.
With Love,
Rachel
