Who is Rachael Hughes Edwards

Hello, I’m Rachael, a Personal Development coach, NLP Practitioner and Clinical Hypnotherapist. 

​

I have been exactly where you are right now, overwhelmed with depression and anxiety, and feeling alone and like I wanted to give up! Because ultimately, the pain of life was too much. Maybe you’ve struggled with your mental health for a long time, or like me since you were a child and never found a way to express how you truly felt. 

​

Depression and anxiety have always been a big influence in my life. As a child, happiness was always overshadowed by the negativity of the world I lived in. Feeling happy was so unfamiliar that it triggered discomfort, amplifying my anxiety. 

​

As I grew up my dark thoughts about myself, my life and the world were never ending. It felt like my mind controlled me and stopped me from living my soul purpose.

​

At any moment of happiness I would sabotage myself to get back to feeling that I was used to, which was depression. (How do you sabotage yourself?)

​

Throughout my twenties, I had two mental breakdowns. First, the loss of my grandma broke me completely and the second time I was working in a demanding job in a suffocating city, coupled with my marriage that was unkind and loveless. My life at that time became unbearable. I felt completely alone. I was utterly lost, drowned in relentless negative thoughts and emotions. I yearned for an escape, desperate for a solution to this overwhelming pain and fear. 

Like so many, I thought medication was the answer. 

​

I spent years trying everything to get help, but I was always led back to one thing: medication. I tried many different medications, and suffered many different side effects. I just wanted one little tablet to swoop in, wipe out all the pain, and magically fix everything. Then I found one that made me numb. Month after month, I begged my doctor to up the dosage, hoping it would ease the ache I had in my soul. But instead of feeling more alive, I felt like a ghost of myself.

My turning point was when my hearing faded and my vision became blurry. I wasn't in pain anymore, but I wasn't living either. I felt like a shell, a zombie drifting through life, I could see my body and my mind slowly dying. 

​

I discovered feeling nothing was even worse than feeling everything!

​

That's when I knew it was time for me to take charge. Over a few years, I was weaned off the meds, but I needed more than just pills- I needed to strengthen my mind, I needed to reconnect with my soul. I found support from people who understood and showed me I wasn't crazy, just struggling, that what I longed for was love, self love. With coaches, therapists, and healers, I worked on accepting myself for who I am and changing what doesn't serve my highest good.

​

This is when I started to work with manifestation and really started to understand my responsibility in what my life was and what i was calling in for the future. Things started shifting and manifestations started coming in fast and with easy, admittedly not always as I had visualised them but them were coming in all the same. I know that manifestation has played a big part in my growth and it ceases me at how it works.

​

After years of personal growth, I seized the chance to help others by becoming a holistic therapist. Though I wouldn't wish my past on anyone, it's shaped me into who I am today and I am grateful. Guiding others through similar struggles fills my heart and soul, as this work is for everyone.

​

Healing is always ongoing, and my approach allows you to develop long-lasting skills and confidence, with my support whenever you need it. "Soul Healing" is transformational, I no longer recognise the scared, angry, depressed person I used to be, I am now filled with love, compassion and joy.

​

My mission is to teach you how to take action and create a life you are proud of, living and sharing this abundance with the world.
