Rachel’s path to becoming a counselor began with a deep desire to help others and led her to earn a counseling diploma from Kelowna College of Professional Counselors in an accelerated one-year program, originally a two-year course.

She now combines her expertise with her passion for animals, progressing through a certification in Animal-Assisted Intervention with Dreamcatcher Academy, where she integrates therapeutic experiences with animals on her serene farm.
 

With over 20 years in Girl Guides and active volunteer work with Alberta Health Services at Oilfields Hospital, Rachel brings warmth, empathy, and a commitment to community. Her therapy dog, Tala, brings comfort to residents, while Rachel’s specialized certification in end-of-life planning offers compassionate support during transformative times.

Rachel welcomes you to explore counseling in a peaceful, nature-centered environment, where you’ll find space to connect and reflect.
