Hey, I'm Rachel and I used to wear two hats: Financial Therapist and Art Psychotherapist before combining them into one gorgeous and unique hat here at the Money Healing Club.
I also romp around Denver with my kids, husband and cats and sing to any unsuspecting audience.🎤
I co-founded the Money Healing Club, a place built for women who are tired of the usual money advice and carry the guilt of impulsive spending. In the Club, we get real about both the practical and emotional sides of money, all within a supportive community.
Here, you'll connect with others who, like you, have tried everything to improve their financial stress but still find themselves stuck in self-sabotage mode.😫
Together, we untangle the complexities of money and face its emotional challenges with compassion and sometimes, a reality check.
I've mixed my skills in art therapy and financial therapy – I hold a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling: Art Therapy Specialization and certifications in Financial Social Work and the Trauma of Money Method™️. The result? A well-rounded approach that addresses both your financial strategies and emotional health with information, community, and creativity.👯💖
This community not only helps more people than 1:1 work ever could, it also cultivates a movement of people who are tired of the rigid shame tactics of typical financial literacy.
But there's more to my mission. I'm on a quest to dig into the hidden potential of money as a catalyst for deep healing. Beyond spreadsheets and budgets, I'm eager to explore the nitty-gritty aspects of finance that impact us all.

“I have a very complicated relationship with money. Those feelings only made me feel alone which led me to pretty destructive coping strategies which caused even more issues with money thus a toxic loop was created. I felt so alone and had no idea how I would ever get on the other side but that is when I found Rachel and an amazing community of kindred spirits in the Money Healing Club.
Healing in community allowed me to be seen and helped neutralize the shame that had kept me stuck for so many years. Having others to bounce ideas off of, accountability and the sharing of resources has allowed me to make so many positive changes. My journey has only begun but I have seen more positive results in the last months than I have in my entire adult life and I know that the MHC community is my key to success!”

“It wasn’t that long ago that I was sitting on my living room floor Facetiming my mom and her partner crying. They told me I had a problem with money, and that my poor habits and decisions were hurting them and those I loved, as many addictions do. I had over-drafted bank accounts, debt was piling up, I was borrowing money from friends and family, and I was close to losing my apartment 😰
With Rachel’s help and the Money Healing Club, I was able to get four bank accounts in the positive, pay off my credit card, create and use a budget, and understand my income vs expenses. It has been so beautiful and powerful to realize how many others are experiencing the same thing I was.
Working with Rachel, you are truly in the best and most experienced hands. Rachel has such a deep understanding of the emotion relationship between us and our money. If you are ready to massively shift your relationship with money for good, you’ve come to the right place.”

“MHC found me with some ✨ divine ✨ timing. Sure, I could have done with this 10 years ago, but my slow, steady (...and secret) money journey has got me to a point where I wanted to ‘come out’ with my true financial situation. I’ve ebbed, I’ve flowed - now Rachel is my dream guides for learning, accountability, and true, compassionate support. Thanks to you, I feel like this is the year I’ll actually make changes that stay and get the freedom I crave.
To see all of the stress factors beneath the ‘iceberg tip’ of my financial woes was freeing. It made me realize this is SO much deeper than ‘I'm just sh*t with money’. Can’t wait for more.”
