Success Stories

What folks are saying about
working with Rachel...


To revisit something as traumatic as abuse can be frightenting up front, but it's certainly worth the healing that's going to come out on the other end.

~Ockemia, California

The Beyond Surviving course is one of the most effective and powerful investments you can ever make for your own personal development. Being a survivor of sexual trauma herself, she provides first hand perspective in a fun and effective way. The lessons she teaches go deeper than most self help books and were developed during her own recovery from trauma so they are proven to be effective. Rachel was not afraid to challenge the status quo of the mental health field when developing this course, so her techniques are simple and quite unique. If you've spent years in therapy and find yourself still stuck in the past, contact Rachel. She is a "real" person with real personal experience in this area. Plan on working hard to be successful in this course, but plan on becoming a better YOU as a reward for your efforts. I'm not the same person I was just four months ago thanks to Rachel Grant and the Beyond Surviving course!

~Sheri, New Hampshire

It is never too late to recover from abuse and take charge of your life. I wish I had met Rachel 50 years ago. I am eternally grateful for her wisdom and presence in guiding me safely through this journey. Her positive spirit will live with me for the rest of my days.

~John, California

I was struggling and alone when I began this program. I was in an unhealthy relationship and my PTSD symptoms were taking over my life making it hard to function socially. I was a lost soul. Rachel's program found the deep festering wounds inside of me that were the result of years of sexual abuse during my childhood and teen years, cleaned them out and brought a deep healing to me. This group was the first time I ever felt seen, understood and accepted on a deep level. I am now creating healthy relationships for the first time in my life. I'm finally seeing my self-worth and leaving behind the sexual abuse that has colored my whole life up to this point. I never thought I would ever see the light. Thank you Rachel from the bottom of my heart for showing me the way.

~Cindy, Utah

The abuse is not dragging me down anymore. I feel like I've come out on the other side of it better and healed and happy.

~Brittany, California

I have a voice. I don't feel the shame I felt before starting Beyond Surviving.

~Leanne, Canada

I was at a point in life where my career was BANGING, I knew what my body needed (good food, yoga, meditation), but it felt like something was just...Off. I couldn't put action to what I wanted! I was still struggling so much to set boundaries with my friends, I had no idea how to handle anxiety when it came, and I knew that the abuse I sustained as a kid wasn't fully dealt with. I found Rachel on a podcast at 3am when I couldn't sleep. I was IMMEDIATELY taken with her and her story. I realized this is what I needed and we scheduled an exploration call. After the call I knew I needed this program and I threw myself all the way in. Let me tell you that my life is more than anything I could ever imagine!!! I no longer identify by my career, I trust myself to make good decisions for me and my daughter, and I conquered my codependent nature that has held me back my whole life. If you're hesitating, this is your sign. Give yourself over to this process and let this amazing healer help you!! You will not be disappointed. I am Andrea and I am Beyond Surviving.

~Andrea, Arkansas

I am almost 60 years old and have been a victim of abuse my entire life. I didn't know any other way until I met Rachel. I was willing to put up with intense emotional abuse from my ex-fiance just to keep from being alone. I didn't think I would be able to survive without him. That was a year ago. Today I am independent, self-confident, strong and a badass. I bought my very own beautiful home and do all the home improvements myself. I haven't spoken to my ex-fiance in six months and stopped crying and missing him months ago. I now have the tools and inner strength to be excited about my future, and I'm going to be ok no matter what. Thank you Rachel, my fellow badass!

~Kathy, Texas

At first I felt a little crazy to accept help from some woman on the internet. I started small with Rachel's podcasts, Facebook page, and a lot of reading and observation. Doing the 28-Day Boot Camp sealed it for me. I knew she had something I wasn't getting anywhere else. I had only told two people prior to this. And slowly I found comfort and healing in participating on Facebook. My therapy was helping, but it seemed so slow and unexplainable. Rachel provided the answers to why I was feeling and reacting the way I was and then followed it up with how I could change it. Action is key. This program is so well thought out. Every lesson is there for a reason and it all builds up so you can gain freedom from the abuse. I had hoped I would feel better after the program, I don't feel better, I feel AMAZING!! I have reclaimed myself on so many levels from my anxiety and depression to my sexuality. I felt dead inside. And now I am ready to make the most of my life and relationships. If you are ready to leave the effects of childhood sexual abuse behind then sign up now! I am so glad I was able to convince myself that I deserved to feel better. It is the best investment in myself that I have ever made. It is the ultimate in self-care! Rachel is like no one else I have worked with in my healing. She is calm, energetic, funny, extremely knowledgeable and always ready to assist you. When the lessons were challenging and they are, I knew I could trust the process because she's been where I was. She is a living testament to her own healing process and she is willing to share it. She encourages you to ask for help and she is the first one to step up!

~Joanne, Colorado

Did this solve all my problems and lead to sunshine and kittens? No. Did it solve problems I had not been able to solve any other way (including with a psychologist)? Yes. To be fair, the psychologist was over ten years ago and she did me a lot of good. Possibly she got me ready to make use of the tools Rachel provides. The tools will help you figure out where you are stuck and help you get unstuck. It was definitely worth the time and effort.

~Linda, Washington

I feel so much freer than I did when I started coaching. When I began, I had a frustrated sense that I would never truly know who I am or what I want. I am now increasingly confident about my desires and I'm excited about continuing to get to know myself and expand the possibilities of who I can be. When I am distressed, I scan my mind for the tools Rachel has shared with me. I am able to get unstuck, gain insight into my distress and change my thinking. I feel so much freer and more capable. I am in charge of my own well-being and have a toolbox bursting with beautiful, shiny, handy tools at my side. I couldn't be more grateful.

~Brook, Chicago

I first reached out to Rachel because I knew I needed to make a change after a few really bad relationships. I didn't have a direction for that change, but I knew something needed to happen. I've learned a lot about who I want to be, who I think the most authentic Melany is. A big part of what I'm going to take away is to give myself the space to feel my authentic feelings so that I can respond to situations in a way that is true to me. I am going to maintain the internal voice as a supporting one rather than a critical one. And I want to keep close the knowledge that I can be grounded and I can decide how I want to show up to any situation that might be uncomfortable. One of the best things I learned was how to identify and challenge false beliefs. I feel like that was the biggest catalyst for change in separating the situation I found myself in from my worth as a person. I loved that!

~Melany, United Kingdom

By pure chance came across Rachel on a YouTube video. When I embarked upon the Beyond Surviving program, I was skeptical and not trusting at first. I completed the program, which involved a lot of hard work, bravery and trust. The program has been truly life changing and for the first time in my life I truly have found who I truly am and was always meant to be. Consequently I am at peace. I have been freed of my past. It has been truly life changing. Words are not enough for the support and amazing work that Rachel does, truly from the heart.

~Tariq, United Kingdom

Rachel Grant's Beyond Surviving program has reignited the fire of my soul. I was very depressed when I signed up, hopeless and sceptical. Week after week, I was continually impressed with the healing insights I experienced. Rachel's authentic heart full presence, knowledge and wit are treasures in my overflowing beyond surviving toolbox which is now a part of this me I have finally come to love!

~Sahara, Canada

Stick to Rachel's 'system!' Make it part of your heart, your mind, your life! The more you apply yourself, the more you will get out of it. It is a lesson in healthy thinking. Yes, it requires you to embrace the unfamiliar at times, and it sure takes getting used to 'grey', but its necesary to break out of old patterns of 'being' and establish new ones. Rachel's system is as important to psychological well-being, as Ayn Rand's is to philosophy. It is a 'total' system and is eclectic enough to be relevant and applicable to the wide spectrum of victims of abuse, helping us to think and process past and present in a new and healthy way. I would recommend Rachel to anyone who has experienced life's trauma.

~David, Israel

Rachel's commitment and care as a coach is exceptional. She is a true professional and at the same time completely relatable and humorous. The course is systematic and thorough. I am so glad I made the investment in working with her through this program as it has empowered me to gain a different perspective and let go of heavy burdens while gaining tools, skills and optimism for the future.

~Sonja, South Africa

Rachel is the best coach I've ever worked with. She has created a program that includes visits, phone calls, emails and support group meetings. For those reasons, I was able to progress through her coaching in a short amount of time. Rachel's insight and expertise didn't miss a beat in my healing process--she always seemed to know what would come up next and exactly how to handle it. My life has been forever changed. Rachel has saved my life!

~Melissa, California

When I heard about the topics which would be covered in the Beyond Surviving course, I felt relieved that someone understood precisely what I was up against in my daily life and was available to help prepare and equip me to walk through it!

~Jediah, Maryland

I sought the help of Rachel because I was feeling so broken. I was depressed and full of anxiety. Rachel's program helped me so much! She is so understanding and empathetic. Now that I'm finishing the program, I see such a difference in my self! I feel lighter and stronger!

~Erin, Missouri

Beyond Survivors has given me a new perspective of me. It helped me realize being a victim of abuse does not and is not my only story in life. I am wonderfully made and capable of living my BEST LIFE.

~Neecia, California

Walking into the program, I was unsure about opening the box of abuse, knowing I didn't want to touch it with a ten-foot pole. I knew it was there but didn't know how to talk about it. So I didn't. Getting coached by Rachel that unsureness went away, and she reminds me of another generation of an Mister Rogers, because she wants to make a difference in other people lives. She is by far the best person I have worked with in my trauma and abuse. Getting coached by Rachel, I knew nothing was off the table to discuss with her. I knew I was in good hands after just a few sessions.

~Crystal, Indiana

I've just finished Rachel Grant's Beyond Surviving program. I feel so lucky to have gone through this program. I went from barely functioning in my life to feeling like a rockstar! The program is amazing, I highly recommend it!

~Elana, Israel

As a woman who experienced significant abuse as a child/youth, I never felt seen or heard and in fact I felt invisible. The first few times I listened to Rachel's podcast, I couldn't get 5 minutes into it without sobbing and having to turn it off. After years of various treatments, medications, and approaches, I finally found what I needed to be empowered on my healing journey. Best decision of my life - because it gave me the courage to love and live my life.

~Justian, California

Rachel is very personable, and I feel very trusted with her. Her coaching technique is very progressive and very helpful to change the way we heal a traumatized experience. The coaching program results from her own sexual abuse trauma and recovery experience, hence her tools, media references and techniques were very relatable to my own recovery. She understands how sexual abuse survivor feels and shows immense empathy. I feel a clear and positive change after the coaching program, and I would highly recommend her coaching to other survivors.

~Ram, Virginia

Rachel Grant's coaching was the first time I experienced competent and compassionate support in my life. By gently walking me through the process of disentangling my thinking and beliefs which had been shaped by my abusers, Rachel showed me how to determine for myself who I am and what my future holds. There were times this journey was mind-blowing, and times it was hard, but it was always revelatory, filled with laughter, and never lacking in the respect, dignity, and validation I had been missing all my life.

~Ryan, South Carolina

The Beyond Surviving program honestly changed my life. I was one that didn't think healing was possible as I had tried so many other avenues. Rachel's program is tried and true. I had felt alone for a long time and Rachel journeyed along with me as a coach, cheerleader and confidante. I felt so comfortable at every session. I could finally be me. The techniques she teaches are game changers. If you are ready to move forward and break down the barriers that have been holding you back, look no further. You have found it.

~Dee Dee, Mississippi

I came to a place in my life where I knew that something needed to change, that I finally needed to deal with old wounds once and for all and to not only "move on", but to "move into" the person I was MEANT to be. I wanted joy and to be a part of life, to move out of fear and panic, from just barely holding on and into fun and hope. It all seemed like a tall order, especially after trying conventional "therapy", but after doing Rachel's "Boot Camp for the Brain", I decided that I liked her approach and went for it. I am so grateful that I did. I loved how Rachel taught me new tools to navigate not only my past, but current life experiences. I felt heard, understood and validated. I felt safe and honored. I found a safe space to be held so that I could finally come to the break through that I so desperately needed in order to honor the truth about who I really am and hope for where I can now go moving forward. I finally found some essential tools for empowerment to move into my best self. Thank you Rachel!

~Faith, Nevada

I am so absolutely grateful to Rachel Grant and the Beyond Surviving program. I started this program just getting through each day. I was truly surviving my life. Barely. Taking care of myself was the last thing on my list. I wanted to be "fixed" and I wanted to go to school to become a social worker and help people like me. Boy was I in for an awakening. With the Beyond Surviving program, Rachel taught me how to embrace myself. I learned that I don't need to be fixed, I just needed to learn how to better take care of myself. I learned that I am not the abuses that were inflicted on me, but rather they are just something that happened to me. I learned that I have a voice and I am damn good at using it. I don't have to go to school to be a good person, but if I choose to I will do it for me. When I started the program, I was having flashbacks multiple times a week and getting maybe 2-4 hours of sleep a night. I have not had a flashback in weeks, and I am currently sleeping 7-9 hours a night which is a lot to be said for having three little ones running around. Life has come full circle for me. Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you Rachel Grant!

~Liz, Idaho

When I spent time researching Rachel Grant and the Beyond Surviving program, I was mostly looking for a way of living that had a growth mindset. I felt really stuck in my place of healing. I felt like I was just going around in circles, like a roller coaster ride, and hadn't really felt complete. I had a therapist who was a great empathetic listener, but I felt like I had reached a point where I needed to dig deeper and take more action. During the Beyond Surviving group work and through coaching with Rachel, I felt very challenged and alive! It wasn't always easy work, but at the end of the day, I could feel that I was connecting to who I am and who I really want to be. By the end of the program, I gained so many new skills and ways of thinking and being. I also gained a lot of confidence in my capability. What I didn't expect was the compassion I felt and how connected I started to feel towards a community of healing. I am so grateful to Rachel for her coaching strengths, and the program she courageously developed. I feel so whole.

~Jen, Michigan

Working with Rachel in this program has been priceless for me. I have been able to find a place of peace and contentedness that seems to have become more difficult with age (not that it was easy before). I feel sane again. And back to a place where this is simply part of my life that happened versus some insane hot potato that I have to keep silent about. I now have tools and experiences that I can reach back to going forward as I continue my healing journey. Thank you Rachel, I am so glad I said "Yes".

~Lynne, California

Stepping into this program I was scared and thought that I would be the crying emotionless person I had been. I thought that I didn't deserve to be great and treated like a woman. Ha! Boy did I learn, I am strong, powerful, funny!, deserving of love, committed to change, lovable and abundant. I thought I wouldn't be able to afford to do this, yet another hurdle to my peace of mind. Guess what?? There's no reason to NOT do it! It is truly the best thing I could have spent money on- honestly! I feel closer to these girls than anything and having Rachel and the group to keep me motivated to come back was something priceless. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you. So much for helping me find me again.

~Robyn, Indiana

Rachel has been a tremendous help for me over the past few months. I have never had any coaching like this before and it helped me enormously in my healing process. She is very experienced, knows what she is talking about and can beautifully carry everyone (in the group) through their process individually. I feel so grateful for her support, she was there for me 24/7 with great advice and I have the biggest toolkit I can apply directly to my life every day. She rocks!

~Christa, Washington

Rachel Grant's program is the best investment I have ever made. I did not anticipate her level of understanding, intuitive nature, or the clear cut nature of the steps she created to move past traumas I had previously thought were just a part of my life I had to accept. Not true!!!! Thank you for creating and sharing this program Rachel!!!!! Your brain is a beautiful gift.

~Sarah, New York

Rachel has changed my life and opened my mind in a whole new way. I went into this program looking for a way to fix myself and came out stronger and more whole. I have tools to help me move beyond my past and aid me in the future. This program helped me in ways I wasn't expecting. I can now see how much my past was effecting many different areas of my life, and how through this journey I can change. It's not a one and done program, it's a lifestyle. When I fall into a trap of comparing myself to others, I can look back to the tools she provided to help me though it. If I feel obligated to say yes to something, I can pause and ask myself am I saying yes out of fear or obligation, if so what do I really want to do? There are so many more tools I have now, and I can look back to them to help me move forward with confidence. I have already recommended this program to people I know and would highly recommend this program to anyone suffering from past trauma. Your trauma does not have to hold you back or define you any longer.

~Desiree, Texas

The Beyond Survivor program with Rachel Grant is something special. Rachel's program takes you step by step through your healing journey. As a survivor of many years of sexual abuse, I find it hard sometimes not to see past the effects. As a survivor herself, she has a way of meeting you where you are and joining you in this process. Rachel walked along side me every step of the way. She was able to make me feel special and understood the pain I was going through. I didn't know what to expect when I started. I knew I was well on my way to healing but felt stuck and Rachel helped me move forward with her true caring and wonderful sense of humor. I love that about her. She helped me refocus my sense of purpose and has given me many tools to use along the way. I would recommend her program to anyone seeking healing from sexual abuse. Thank you Rachel for helping me see more clearly my true potential as a survivor of sexual abuse.

~Stanley, New York

After my last abusive relationship ended, I finally fully realized I was following a pattern of allowing abuse in my life. Beyond Surviving helped me to accept this realization, stop taking responsibility for the choices of others, and to make more healthy and powerful choices for myself and my life. Thank you Rachel!

~Raenie, California

The Beyond Surviving program has opened up a whole new beautiful world to me! Rachel provides all the essential tools to live a life full of freedom and hope. It’s for anyone who wants to walk in their truest potential. Rachel is with you every step of the way as you learn to take your own power and choice back! I can’t recommend it enough!!! Here’s to living a fulfilled and empowered life....and it all begins with making the very first choice to give it a try!

~Jessica, California

I am in love with the Beyond Surviving Program. I am in total gratitude of how Rachel's system changed my thoughts, my actions and thus, my life. The work of surviving successfully is tricky business! Rachel guides you through your toughest moments like a lamb in in Lions clothing. The support that is given through out this program is paramount. I am so happy that I committed to accepting her skills as a true gift for myself and for my future generations. I would recommend the Beyond surviving program over and over again.

~Claire, New York

I give Rachel and her Beyond Surviving program the highest praise possible! She's been there and has the resources and compassion to make sure you are fully guided and supported through the whole journey. She has helped me turn my whole life completely around, to ensure that I can make myself successful and that I feel whole again. Words can't express how grateful I am that I chose to allow Rachel to enter my life and work her magic. She's one of a kind! She and her program work as long as you're willing to also put in the work. Together we have made my life livable again!

~Brandi, New York

When I found Rachel and the Beyond Surviving program, I was feeling so broken and damaged. I never thought I would have anything that resembled a healthy life. I felt like I was living on auto-pilot most days. I felt like I couldn't connect with my husband and daughters, let alone anyone else. Rachel has given me my life back, a life I never imagined I could have. I have a deeper connection to my husband and I'm a fun mom. I feel safe in the world. I feel comfortable being me. Even though I'm still figuring out who I am, I'm not afraid to look deep into my soul. I feel like I can navigate my life and relationships so much better. I am so thankful I found this program. I'm finally free.

~Loriann, Utah

I found myself struggling with PTSD and desperately looking for help. I heard an interview on YouTube with Rachel and really loved how she related her own experience. It was encouraging to hear someone be so honest instead of hiding the truth, like I have been doing all my life. I felt ashamed and blamed myself for being a victim of child abuse. Thanks to Rachel's program, I no longer see myself as a victim, instead, I see myself as a strong survivor. I feel I can finally let go of my past and move forward with my life. For the first time in my life, I feel excited about my present and my future. I could not have done this without Rachel. She is truly a blessing from above.

~Alicia, New Mexico

I recommend Beyond Surviving to anyone who struggles daily with challenges as a result of childhood abuse/trauma. Rachel is sincere, available and talks to you with kindness, love and respect. Rachel has helped me move past the place in my life where I was stuck. Once I began to open up, I was able to move forward and now I have accomplished so many goals and feel more like my authentic self. Thank you Rachel!

~Shelly, Arizona

I could tell right off that Rachel was a gifted abuse coach. Her well-thought-out program is evidence of her experience and knowledge. The tools provided allowed me to move into the healing process easily, encouraging valuable insights and best of all - creating transformative outcomes! It was an amazing, worthwhile journey. A journey which led me (back) to myself, my goodness and my power. Life really is trustworthy.

~Elizabeth, Philadelphia

Through her thoughtful, well-structured Beyond Surviving Guidebook and program, Rachel Grant has brought together her research and experience in a truly unique, life-altering methodology. As a coach, Rachel consistently has profound impact in turning a sense of helpless confusion toward an empowering self-understanding. Where therapy has been helpful in the walk, from Rachel I have learned to create new roads for myself.

~Theresa, Ohio

As a SRA survivor with DID and multiple personalities, I didn't believe that Rachel could even help me. On the outside, I was living a pretty functional life so people thought. However, on the inside, I was being ripped apart daily by pain and false beliefs that we were worthless, unlovable broken to pieces and unfixable. My battle with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder came to a head with memories of childhood abuse, and I coped by drinking, cutting and restricting food. In comes our warrior sister Rachel! Let me tell you something about this beautiful soul! For five solid months, I was unable to start the program. Rachel stood by my side keeping in touch by email and asking how she could help. When I had to go see multiple abusers, she was there to help me set up a game plan. Rachel's love for seeing people break free from abuse and compassion goes beyond comprehension! She armed us with a Beyond Surviving manual that highlights her beautiful journey as a survivor backed by cognitive techniques to retrain the brain and a strong sense of humor that made the learning fun at the hardest times.

I walk through life confidently now armed with a handy toolkit of techniques such as positive re-framing and challenging false beliefs to name a few. Through the months of laughter, tears and sharing with Rachel and other beautiful women in this program, we opened the windows to my heart and let the fresh breezes of trust and hope flood in, and I'll never be the same! They all held up a mirror and introduced me to my authentic self, the self that I thought had been destroyed by abuse as I became free from the shackles of pain and shame that held me prisoner my entire life. Though I am still multiple, I am healing and becoming whole, I no longer need the old coping mechanisms to get through life. I'm a Phoenix bird reborn!

Thank you Rachel for the love, support and unfailing compassion during this program. Your humor and personal sharing at deepest levels makes this program such a fulfilling experience. Not only have you been there, but you are in the trenches side by side with us. I can't think of one lesson that isn't my favorite for all the information, love, laughter, and support power packed within. Rachel made the lessons so down to earth with the added humor, and it made the toughest of topics easier to digest. I am so grateful and honored to hold hands in camaraderie with the beautiful souls here and walk this journey with all of you. I'm inspired and so blessed by all of the work we have done with each other and my life will never be the same. We are warriors!

~Kris, New York

Everyone should have the tools that Rachel teaches. It's not just for survivors, maybe we're all survivors? Rachel teaches with a sense of joy and animation on a very sensitive subject. It makes it easy to retain and retrain. This class has been life changing.

~Teri, Missouri

Having Rachel Grant as a coach was just an amazing experience for me. She helped me say that I have been living a life in darkness but working with her helped me to say that my future is so bright. I will be forever grateful to Rachel for her wonderful coaching .

~Monica, California

Rachel and her course to go from surviving to thriving are awesome! My work with her and the other members of my small group has boosted me to a new level of self-knowledge, self-acceptance and self-compassion. I give her my highest recommendation and my deepest gratitude.

~Nancy, California

Rachel's Beyond Surviving group program has given me so much! During her course, I learned that it was okay to say "no" - and learned how to communicate my "no" clearly, with confidence, and in a way that not only protected my needs but was respectful to the people I care about as well. I was able to talk about my story in a group of supportive peers, which was huge and a great relief. The safety and bonding that Rachel facilitated between the participants of my group was so healing. I learned that, although we all had different stories, our feelings and coping mechanisms were all so similar. I learned some truly effective tools to help me come back to the present when feeling triggered. And most of all, I gained so much CONFIDENCE that things could get better - because Rachel taught us how to track our progress, and I saw things actually improving in real time. Plus being coached by someone who'd come so far in her own journey gave me proof that healing is possible. In fact, I loved the program so much and made so much progress, that I've now started my own fledgling coaching practice - and now I'm getting coaching from Rachel in a whole different capacity, learning how to refine and market my new business. Thank you so much Rachel!

~Anna, New York

The difference between Beyond Surviving and other groups/therapy I attended is simply this: Rachel teaches you to retrain your thinking, to be aware of the thought process and then gives you practical skills to aid in all areas of your life. She supports you each step of the way and you are not alone. As you practice these skills, you uncover the most wonderful gift - yourself.

~Pat, Indiana

Because of Rachel and her Beyond Surviving program I am finally living!

Since my initial abuse at the age of 4, I had two ways of "coping"-- either create negative drama to stay ahead of the underlying chasm of pain or fall deeper into depression. I was able to feel compassion for others that had been abused, but not for myself. It had to be something that I had done, I had somehow caused the abuse to happen. In sum, I was drowning in my pain, with no hope.

Then a miracle happened ... Rachel came into my life!

With empathy Rachel guided me through and out of the despair, providing me with coping mechanisms that actually worked. Over time, because of Rachel's depth of knowledge, uncanny insight and gentle direction, I gained the courage to believe in myself, to come to terms with the abuse, see its effects, forgive myself for the choices I had made and embrace and finally heal the shattered little girl that simply wanted to be loved.

Rachel genuinely cares and her heart knows no bounds. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is truly gifted!

~Linda, California


I have spent the last 40 years of my life dreading each day. When I met Rachel Grant, I honestly thought I was the one client she would find out she would not be able to help.I truly felt broken and unfixable. Rachel helped teach me that I could change my life. She is a skilled Sexual Abuse Recovery Coach who has an amazing program. I accomplished everything we set out to accomplish, but so many more good things came my way. I don't wake up dreading the day. I don't feel irritable and generally angry all day, either. My relationships with my kids and partner has radically improved. Rachel helped me move past the old me and into this wonderful world of exploring, taking up space, and getting closer to people. I thought I was destined to walk through life in a fog. Thank you, Rachel for waking me up to a new world. I feel great, I feel like I have purpose and I feel connected.

~Toni, New Jersey

I encourage anyone who is in a place where they are ready to take the next steps in the journey of healing from sexual abuse to making life lasting changes, with focused guidance and specific skills, to take this opportunity. This is not fancy marketing or pop psychology. This program offers real world experience and tools to begin to lay down the load of sexual abuse and have the room needed to finally see and connect to who you are without the burden of the abuse.

~Samantha, California

Rachel animates a vibrancy, belief and laugh which are all infectious and so healing. This is a great gift to receive when you are half a world away. Rachel's ability to immediately connect and hold your hand, via a distance is one of the many impressive things about this woman on a mission. I feel so very blessed to have had this opportunity to connect with Rachel and be guided in healing some very newly surfaced scars from my childhood. You will benefit greatly in opening yourself up safely to this process of healing, if you decide to join in ((Do!)).

~Sharon, Australia

Rachel is an incredible coach. Her program gave me more clarity around how the abuse was affecting me, and provided me with tools to transform these negative effects of the abuse into positive action steps, which gradually led to positive change in my mind and in my life. Rachel's program provides a clear structure in which you can find the safety to express and heal yourself. In joining with the group, I was able to feel the relief of knowing I was not alone with what I was handling. I would highly, highly, highly recommend the group program to anyone who does well in a community setting and who is wishing to heal from the pain of sexual abuse. It has given me the strength and courage to move forward in my life.

~Danny, California

I have made countless attempts at "fixing" myself. They have included reading self-help books, working with therapists, self-medicating, moving from location to location and more. All of these things seemed to provide a temporary respite from the discomfort, the emotional pain and my inability to "just be". But, I was never left with tools or the skills for me to access when I found myself right back in the dark, hopeless moments or phases..

Through my work with Rachel I have learned so much about myself and how childhood trauma has stunted certain parts of me and established thoughts and behaviors that have not served me well over the years. With Rachel's care and guidance we examined the past and identified the distorted reality that has been created as result. The Beyond Surviving program that she has designed provides the framework for this exploration. The program also teaches tools and techniques to challenge, modify and reset existing thoughts and behavior patterns.

Beyond Surviving has been extremely transformative. It's been a gift, a second chance at life. This program is delivered and brought to life by the incomparable Rachel Grant. She is smart, caring, talented, supportive and a fellow survivor. I was consistently impressed with her ability to provide deep insights into my nature and being. The program is a scary journey of self-discovery, but I never felt like it was an impossible journey because Rachel convinced me otherwise.

During the program, you'll find yourself becoming more resilient, more engaged with life, more present, more able to articulate your thoughts and feelings with clarity and the confidence to do so, fearlessness where there was once fear, inspiration to go out and finally try that thing that you've been wanting to do and so much more.

So, what's at the end of this scary journey? Well, it's you. But not just the fragments of you. It's a whole you. The one that you've hoped to know or at least longed to know existed. It's a stronger you. A more courageous you. A you that's capable of loving yourself. A you that finally recognizes how wonderful and absolutely fabulous you are.

~John, Washington, DC

Beyond all of my expectations!! Rachel is the perfect person to guide you through your experience. I am so grateful for the life I now get to experience!!

~Consuelo, California

I'm truly a self-reliant person and couldn't accept advices easily. This is my first support group and I felt safe because Rachel models for us that we can always have a CHOICE. It helps a lot because it encouraged me to make my every move count and to really follow through with what I want to achieve. It also encouraged me to be honest in my weaknesses and be compassionate with myself. She focuses on healing our core beliefs, values and confidence, because this stuff has been marred by the abuse. She also helped me in strengthening my integrity so that I can fully trust myself to take charge of my life (essential in having boundaries). Now that I have the tools, I can better navigate my journey as a Beyond Survivor.

~Marla, Philippines

The Beyond Surviving Program included everything that I had been searching for to move on to a new level in my recovery from Childhood Sexual Abuse. I found it difficult to find any resources that dealt with moving forward and came across Rachel Grant's website. The program includes many tools, resources and of course, Rachel as a coach. Rachel's experience, program, and coaching talent all guided me through a phase of recovery that I never thought I would find. I am better equipped and supported to continue moving forward. Rachel is supportive, understanding, funny, and gives you the "push" you need to step into your new life.

~Rebecca, Virginia

Rachel is a godsend. After much hesitation and excuses as to why I didn't think the program was right for me, deep down just talking that initial first hour, I felt a connection (something I was missing all my life - connecting with someone ) to her, that she knew what I was going through. I'm so thankful that through these eight months she has taught me tools and different ways of thinking, so I can start finding the person I really am. Through it all the inspiration, positivity and hope she imparts.......PRICELESS.

~Sue, Maryland

This program is the most effective and comprehensive one in which I have participated. Each week, the lessons/homework built upon the previous week. Being part of a group of individuals who share my experiences was/is extremely encouraging. Rachel was encouraging and affirming throughout each session. I now feel victorious over my experiences and confident about my life's journey going forward.

~Noree, Michigan

This program is necessary to transform the way you think and feel about yourself, and the way you connect to the World and your relationships. If you have any desire to create empowerment and love- if that is something you don't have anymore, this will fill you up. Try this program, to get back to the person you were meant to be. For me, I experienced emotional and mental abuse as a child and adolescent. It made me think I wasn't worthy and that I was ugly. Because of that I saw myself as "in the way" or "unwanted" as well as being "ignored". I was a vibrant, energetic and naturally happy kid, but the abuse turned me insecure and lowered my self-esteem to a point where I was not able to reach or even imagine my potential, or think I deserved my potential. I think differently now. And I see every day as an opportunity to use the skills I've learned in this coaching program to better myself, and engage with my world differently. Because of this, I raised my rates in my massage therapy practice, say no and just as often ask for what I want, and I don't allow draining relationships into my life anymore. I feel more vibrant, and more like my true nature. This is a solid program, and if you do the work you will be rewarded.

~Dena, California

Rachel is a brilliant coach who can help you connect the dots on how an experience of abuse has affected you and your ideas about what's possible for you. She's down-to-earth, practical, and extremely insightful about recovery from sexual abuse. Therapy is great, and extremely important, but with therapy, you may feel like you are not sure where this is all headed. Rachel has thought through a curriculum that really helps you to learn the key skills you need specifically as a sexual abuse survivor. Working with her has been a life-changing experience, and I would recommend her to anyone who is ready to take a courageous step forward in their evolution and healing.

~Sasha, Buenos Aires

I strongly recommend this program to anyone who has encountered trauma in their life. It gave me an ability to cope better with difficult situations every day.

~Kate, Oregon

Participating in the Beyond Surviving course/group is one of the best things I have ever done in my life. I would recommend it to anyone that can't get over the sexual abuse in their life. I am so grateful for Rachel!!!!

~Larrikay, Indiana

Finding and deciding to work with Rachel is by far the best thing I have done, having been born into a cult, and being physically, emotionally, and sexually abused, and after many years of therapists, self-help books, and my own searching on the internet had led me in circles. She really has a thorough program that helps undo the damage, and also educates survivors on healthy, extremely helpful skills. She also has a huge heart, and compassion, which in my world, has been hard to find, these days. I would recommend the program to anyone that has been abused and has life struggles to overcome.

~Kristina, Massachusetts

Rachel helped me understand the deep rooted feelings that were not allowing me to enjoy my life. I was able to understand my triggers, forgive the people that hurt me, and to take control of me.

~Corey, Canada

Going in, I did not know what to expect, only that there was something I had to deal with internally. Rachel helped me face that aspect of myself to have a greater range of tools and a more solid structure for me to stand on when it comes to my past.

~Ray, California

Cycling in and out of bouts of crippling anxiety and depression, life was one constant struggle of I must put one foot in front of the other, and drudge through. I hadn't always felt this way, I had been an incredibly upbeat and extroverted kid, but with the combination of several traumatic events, and then repressing those events while blaming myself for them, I had started to unravel piece by piece. I was still leading a functional life by all accounts from outside perspectives, but on the inside I felt like a wounded animal. There were moments where I would break down sobbing for reasons unbeknownst to me. I knew I needed help, but traditional therapy wanted to shove pharmaceuticals down by throat, and I knew instinctively that that wasn't the answer. Then I took an amazing class called the politics of sexual violence, and Rachel Grant was the guest speaker one day. She got up and shared her personal experience with abuse, and then shared her coaching method which seemed to combine aspects of brain development, psycho-social theories and some ideas reminiscent of Buddhism. Aha, I thought at the time, I think she may be able to help me. Now at the end of my beyond surviving class, I do feel changed and more of a whole person again. It's not that I have completely rid my life of all horrible thoughts or purged my mind of all fears and anxieties, but Rachel provided me with the tools necessary to not just cope with, but to change the way I see myself and my world. I am so grateful for having the opportunity to work with her and come through the tunnel of darkness that I was stuck in. I feel way more self-confident and self-assured, I have empathy and compassion for myself, things that I was always able to give to others in spades, but didn't know how to provide myself with. I also find myself living way way less in the past or the future, but living, enjoying, even thriving in the present.

~Siobhan, California

I was so stuck and didn't know why. Rachel helped me to find answers to many questions and names to uncomfortable feelings I had experienced for so long. Now I feel de-cluttered and ready to move forward with my life.

~Julie, California

Rachel Grant's program was life changing for me. After decades of working with many different therapies, I'd made only small gains in terms of finding a sense of lasting inner contentment and peace. There always seemed to be something holding me back, using up my energy, and causing chaos and uncertainty. Through her program, I've been able to open up a part of myself I thought was gone and reconnect with myself and my family. If you're ready to let go of things that no longer serve you and take back your life, I truly recommend this program. Wishing you all love and peace.

~Lori, Canada

I am not sure how I stumbled upon Rachel's website but I am so grateful that I did. On the outside I appeared to be very successful but inside I was miserable and wandering through life without purpose and just trying to get through the day. As I worked through the lessons with her, I began to see the extensive effects the abuse has had on me. We worked through the beliefs and stories that I had created for survival as a child and I have been able to identify how they no longer serve me as an adult. I have had therapy off and on over the years and in just 8 short months Rachel has helped me moved from a shattered broken child to a loving adult who looks forward to what the future may bring.

~Cindy, Indiana

Hitting bottom is one thing, staying on the bottom is another!! Rachel helped me touch on areas of pain that I had not realized or exposed. This was my first experience, with measurable success! Most other attempts had been temporary when using self-help and counseling. Coaching was excellent, the interaction with Rachel was like a friend who knew me and the tools were well taught!

~Monica, Kentucky

Rachel Grant is highly skilled life coach with an enormous heart. She cares deeply for her clients and goes above and beyond to make herself available for true healing to occur. The fact that she is also a survivor of sexual trauma and will courageously share pieces of her story, creates a strong sense of solidarity and compassion.

~Nicole, California


Rachel has helped me come out of the shell I went into after I was severely injured in a motorcycle accident. I'm very grateful for Rachel's patient, professional and enthusiastic help on my difficult personal journey.

~John, California

Rachel Grant's coaching message can be the firm reiteration you seek of teachings you've come across time and again, yet still struggle to apply. Her exercises and assignments will bring greater understanding to your everyday experience.

~Jillian, Pennsylvania

When I started my work with Rachel I didn't expect too much as I felt I had already dealt with my issues related to being sexually abused as a child. Boy was I wrong. I had much to learn and the journey I went on with Rachel proved to be one I will cherish forever. I learned about who I am, what drives me, what I feel and believe at the root of my soul, and now know what is truly important to me. With this knowledge and the concrete skills for navigating relationships Rachel taught me, I have been enjoying life more than ever. I live a genuine life that is rich with wonder. I no longer look at the abuse as a defining moment of my life and instead make my own definition. If one has the opportunity to work with Rachel I advise them to take it. One cannot put a price on a life free from the weight of sexual abuse. Rachel is a warm, generous soul who is truly gifted and the benefits of working with her far outweigh the cost. Thank you Rachel, for everything you do.

~Bryan, California

How can one possibly sum up a process as transformative as this? One that tested me in ways other forms of healing haven't, one that made me stretch with muscles that had long been forgotten, one that started to create new neural pathways when others were so comfortable - so easy to return to, time and time again. And my journey has not been mine alone. Beside me walked Rachel, sometimes sharing laughter, other times tears, opening deep secrets, always nudging me forward. Each step I entrusted her with, each lesson she guided me through. She knew what was, and indeed is, possible and somehow I followed.

Today, though but a few days from completing the Beyond Surviving program, I feel different. I am hesitant to suggested "changed," but I think I am changing. I have new skills (and am creating new core beliefs) and I am able to tap into them when I need some rebalancing. What were once patterns of self-destruction, insomnia, and tremendous fear, have evolved into slight but manageable discomfort. And yes, that's a step - so key in healing and moving away from being "stuck."

I didn't quite know what my future might look like, how I might be, or indeed whether it might even be possible to exist in the way I was, but thanks to the unwavering belief and compassion I was surrounded with through this program, I live with the understanding that what happened in my past does not create my future, that I am surrounded by others who walk with me, and that my many tomorrows exist in possibility. I am inspired and grateful. Thank you, Rachel.

~Amanda, Canada

Rachel was a great help to my transformation this past year. Her positive attitude, infectious laughter, deep knowledge and sincere concern are just a few ways she impacted me. I will continue using my materials and skills gained for many years to come.

~Julia, Maine

Rachel's approach is proactive and results-oriented. She is a great coach because she is caring, knowledgeable, professional, yet personable. Rachel changed my life. I am finally free to be me.

~Jen, California

Rachel's solid knowledge, humor, understanding, listening and clear communication make her brilliant program work beautifully and seamlessly. Her unshakable confidence in me and her willingness to truly be there for me on my path brought me the inner security to dare to dive in. I have every confidence in Rachel's work and feel very, very fortunate to have had her expert guidance.

I am thrilled to be living my life free of the fear, shame and secrecy that had held me captive and weighed on my heart for so long. Rachel guided me to learn exactly what I needed to understand to move forward. This program felt like it fit perfectly and I highly recommend the program and wonderful guide to anyone in need. The work was more than worthwhile, and Rachel is amazing.

~Polly, California

Rachel's coaching program gave me life-changing tools to go beyond surviving my past.

~Misty, Texas

Note from Rachel: As a blind person, Misty overcame more than a few challenges to participate in the program. I was blown away by her on more than one occasion!

Rachel is an amazing coach. I struggled with the effects of childhood emotional and physical abuse for years. Rachel provided a structured program for understanding the impact of this abuse on my behavior as an adult and helping me find ways to address it. Her coaching style is warm, understanding, and non-judgmental. At the same time, she has an ability to dig deep on issues that really matter and not let you off the hook until you've addressed them. The tools she equips you with are life-changing.

~Dave, California


Finally a program for incest survivors! I have been looking for this for years! No longer does geographic location have to limit our ability to do this valuable work! Rachel Grant is a devoted professional and a highly skilled facilitator and coach! Her program "Beyond Surviving" is a life saver! I understand myself and what happened to better because of the other participants.

~Sally, Arizona

My work with Rachel has been invaluable in helping me face the past, confront the issues surrounding the sexual abuse I suffered and come to terms with my life now as a mature adult. I recommend the programme to anyone who is contemplating moving on from feelings of despondency surrounding their abuse. Face the truth and be free!

~Cherie, United Kingdom

Rachel is great not only in trauma recovery, but also in helping you get out of a vicious cycle. So if you always end up dating the wrong guy, or you always break up and come back with the same guy - if you have any repetitive pattern that you want to change - Rachel will give you the tools to change your beliefs and then naturally and very quickly your behavior. After about 3 months of coaching, I got results that I had not seen in my 26 years of life. I am so glad that I reached out to her.

~Deborah, Chicago

Rachel and her coaching program gave me the tools for which I spent years searching to begin to find my true self. Since the "me" I was born with barely had a chance to develop, Rachel helped "me" to find a voice and to come out to live.

~Lyn, New Jersey

Rachel really helped me to clarify the patterns in my life that stem from the childhood experiences and now I can identify them as what they are...part of my past. I am more confident and less ashamed. Also I now know that I am not alone in the experiences.

~Anna, Netherlands

Although it is possible to help yourself heal and acquire the knowledge necessary for personal growth through reading books, the best way to accelerate your progress is to reach out for the help of a coach like Rachel Grant. Having Rachel as my personal life coach provided me with that extra human support, compassion and understanding that I needed. She gave me the tools and the encouragement that enabled me to finally start seeing myself clearly as a capable, confident and strong person. Knowing that I had someone I could count on to listen without judgment and be able to help me gain insights about things that I was going through was very valuable to me on my journey to improving my quality of life. If you work with Rachel, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend her.

~Fatima, California

My coaching sessions with Rachel, combined with reflection and effort of my own, have clarified my perspectives on family, relationships, money issues, and my own identity. Her approach is both lively and deeply intelligent and I believe that this combination has helped retire my most deeply rooted negative thought patterns and accompanying actions. Rachel has given me space, momentum, and challenges to assist me in articulating my fundamental identity and standards of integrity. From this strong base, I have the grounding to enjoy daily life and also meet future challenges--my way. In tangible terms, I have lost weight, overcome depression, made clear job decisions, and enjoyed a wonderful family vacation.

~Even, California

Rachel is a gifted coach and is undeniably devoted to her clients. Her guidance and unwavering belief in me helped me get through some of the most difficult times in the past four months.

~Jocelyn, Colorado

I am so glad that I finally got the nerve to contact Rachel Grant coaching this past Fall. She has taught me so many things about my life that I can now go forward and live beyond survival. When I first called and learned that the sessions were over the phone, I was very skeptical. After doing the telephone sessions with Rachel, I am truly amazed with her ability to connect with me over the phone.

~Danny, Kentucky

Rachel is great! She provided me with not only really good insights but also approaches to take action on those insights. I would highly recommend her.

~Jeremy, California

She could listen to what I said and pick up things from what I said - she has a certain understanding of how people operate - and can reflect back so that I can end up looking at the situation differently. That was one of the really valuable things - being able to see a situation I was locked into with a fresh perspective.

~Laurie, California


I wanted to learn how to focus and obtain my goals on my own, and to get help with ideas and how to get unstuck with where I was at. [Rachel] did help me in this aspect. I was spinning circles and had lost total direction - trying to do too many things at once. [Rachel] helped to focus me on the more important items in my life, teaching me about "clear requests" was a very big tool that is still helping me on a daily basis...

The best I have ever had! Growing up in the foster care system, I have had tons of counselors. (Even as an adult I have seen a few more doctors and counselors)... but [Rachel] was engaging, not just an ear. [She] actually gave do-able advice and tools to keep me moving forward. (NO ONE has done this before for me). She not only focused me in my business goals, but the best thing [she did] for me was to help me end my nightmares of abuse. I was so stuck in my past with the first rape ... [she] helped me to end that. Thank you!

~Rebecca, California


What's good:

What's bad:

Great for: Changing your life and becoming the version of yourself that you prevent yourself from being.

~Laura, California


I discovered that I was really hurt and I didn't really know that before - that was invaluable to see it and get it. I haven't been in that much pain since. I've learned to set goals for myself that were reasonable. I have gained a sense of letting go of crippling judgments of myself when I'm unable to accomplish something, reminding myself to look at it as a place to learn and that's all. Also, to take the steps that I feel ok with, not the stuff that really hurts or makes me panic. I could hear these lessons many, many times, they are like music to my soul.

~Rachel, California


Sometimes life circumstances make you feel stuck as if there are no solutions for your problems. I was lucky to have found Rachel at such a moment in my life. Her objective perspective helped me see the situation from a different angle. Using tools that Rachel provided for me, I found myself at the new point at my life. I feel ready to take life on life's terms and move forward thanks to Rachel's help.

~Nada, California

Rachel's method is brilliantly designed, and breaks down the steps you need to take in a warm, safe, manageable way. This will work for you - all you have to do is commit to the process and it WILL change your life!

~Lisa, Virginia


Rachel is very skilled in her coaching. I have tried other coaches and have not had the insights or growth that I did with Rachel; she is not cookie-cutter... Using her broad range of skills, knowledge and on-target intuition, she truly listens to what you're saying and figures out what is best for you; her exercises and tools for change are innovative and effective. She kept me on track in a way that felt like she had my best interest in mind at all times which made me feel very cared for. She is warm and thoughtful and smart; I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make positive change in their life. I am grateful for the time we worked together.

~Alyx, California


Loved [her] good humor, perseverance, skill bank and creativity. I found [her] undauntablility (which I know is not a word) helpful. I could say my negativity and not be worried about [her] reaction, or at least not very worried! [Her] big heart, creativity, ability to stay on task are inspiring!

~Annie, Oregon

I was very reluctant to try Rachel's program. I'm 57 and I've been on this "recovery journey" for over 35 years. I've considered myself a "survivor" because of my traumatic childhood. Just finished "Beyond Surviving program" and I'm totally AMAZED at the content of this program. It truly brought me beyond "surviving" status in four months!! I have learned life changing tools here that have so positively changed my self thoughts and behaviors that it's quite transforming!!!! I highly recommend it!!! I wish that I had found this earlier in my life!!

~Cheryl, Canada

The coaching I've received with Rachel Grant has been wonderful and so helpful. I can't express enough how her caring was noticeable right from the get go. Her personal knowledge and skills to communicate in assisting survivors of sexual abuse including other abuses is excellent. She holds us accountable for our own healing yet is there with us through it with warmth and understanding. I personally feel grateful for her and the coaching I have experienced and feel I have very good tools to take with me in my journey for continued healing from abuse in my life. Thank you Rachel for everything you have shared and assisted me with in this very scary but much needed journey. You have my respect and gratitude for giving of yourself to me and many others as well. The world is a better place with you in it and I am a healthier and better person from your coaching. Thank you so much!!!

~Trish, New York

[Rachel] is a fantastic reframer! [She] also has a great ability to draw from past conversations and make connections that I would have never caught on to. I try to be a very present person. Coaching encourages that "presentness" while becoming even more conscious of the past, present, and future. I am very grateful to have broadened my life experiences with coaching. I am a better person for having branched outside of my comfort zone.

~Meegan, Oregon

At the time I approached Rachel, I was being very successful with my career. I was finishing my second masters, starting an internship in a major company of which I ended up getting a job offer. I felt very accomplished in many aspects of my life. I had great relationships with my family and I had really good friends with whom I kept meaningful relationships. However, I had never been in a romantic relationship, and I did not know what the problem was. After only 5 sessions with Rachel I became aware of false beliefs that I held for all my life and were keeping me away from romantic involvement. In that amount of time, I replaced my false beliefs for positive beliefs and noticed a change within me. Now I am ready to observe the behavior that my new beliefs will create.

~Deborah, Texas

Today, I'm feeling my old self again, the way I remembered me to be: self-confident, enthusiastic and smiling. Rachel shifted my perspective and it really took hold after hearing the same thing over and over from her and other people as well. She is very skilled at asking the right questions, so that I had to find the answers for myself and discovered along the way where my thinking was colored by negative experiences. I'm now in the right place to conduct a positive job search.

~Renate, California

Working with Rachel Grant has allowed me to, finally, start to recognize my original self. To separate out from my biggest fears and perceived personal failings. To see those same painful beliefs brought into the light with care and love and total understanding, always safe and supported, has been the greatest gift I could ever have given to myself. She is the difference between feeling like the future is an abyss....and realizing that there is a bridge; and one that you are capable of building yourself! Thank you Rachel for sharing with me your expertise, joy, laughter and incredible, life changing strategies for living and loving into the future.

~Samantha, Spain

I joined Rachel's group because I was having problems in my marriage and thought that working on my unresolved sexual abuse issues would help. I had done a lot of work on them over the years, but was still getting triggered into painful memories about my childhood as a result of things going on in my marriage. I felt like joining the group was a last-ditch effort to do what I could on MY SIDE to give our marriage a shot at working. Well, I got way more out of the program than healing my childhood sexual abuse issues (of which I was able to do in a way that no one had been able to help me do previously!). I found a new sense of strength, courage, and worthiness that was just what I needed in order to stand up for myself, stop blaming myself for all the issues in my marriage, and separate from my husband, because I finally got strong enough to admit I was not willing, nor did I have to, live with my husband's untreated addiction issues. Because of my reconnection with my own worthiness and deservingness, I did the bravest thing I've ever done, and I told my husband to move out. I feel so liberated and free and whole -- it's amazing! The healing work I did in this program helped me connect with so much self-love and inner strength. I'm so grateful for Rachel's grounded, smart, empathetic, and practical approach to taking this healing journey. It was just what I needed at just the right time in my life and I'm hopeful about my future, which feels incredible.

~Amy, Illinois

Childhood abuse can build layers of false truths and shame that victims of it become trapped in. This programme helped me to identify those layers and ways to remove them. Truly life changing.

~Paulinah, London

Wow, what can I say about the Beyond Surviving Program? At first, I was a bit confused about what it was. This didn't sound like your traditional 50-minute a week couch session. I was ready for something more. I was at the point where I had already figured out most of why I was in the same behaviors, patterns, and thoughts, but I had no idea how to break away and breakthrough. I turned to the Beyond Surviving Program because I needed real life tools, strategies, and exercises to challenge the negative beliefs and stories I had developed about myself through years of abuse. In my time with Rachel, I've achieved an unbelievable amount of clarity about who I am, my life's purpose and what choices are available to me. Rachel is caring, thoughtful, intentional, innovative and very smart. She is a dedicated professional who takes her work seriously. She also can come from a place of experience and incredible insight. She's supportive, attentive, available and understanding. I'm so grateful for her and the Beyond Surviving Program.

~Chris, California

The Beyond Surviving program gave me the tools to understand myself, process the trauma I experienced and more successfully navigate the rest of my life. The tools are also applicable to the trials of everyday living that everyone may experience, not just trauma from sexual abuse.

~Kerry, Pennsylvania

Rachel's coaching helped me stand up from my mental wheelchair and reverse it rolling downwards. I found the strength to walk again and feel in charge of my life, past and present. It's the best resource I have found so far on my healing journey.

~Jens, Australia

This is what I needed. It was the perfect thing. It has been a blessing and life saver, and I’m so thankful for it. This is life changing! I am now mentally healthier, and that is priceless!

~Amy, Michigan

When I first considered this program, I knew it was a matter of life or death. Either I was going to invest in my healing and get my life back or else I was going to die - I had been struggling with suicidal ideation for a long while and the days were only getting worse. Rachel's Beyond Surviving Program, and most notably her phenomenal support through coaching, have empowered me with skills to not only heal the trauma I have experienced, but also have equipped me to live life more successfully in the present day. The experience of this program with other women has been more valuable than I could have ever imagined!

~Shannon, Oklahoma

I have nothing but praise and admiration for the program Rachel has designed. She has meticulously put together every single component with the laser sharp goal of helping her clients achieve a breakthrough. Her range of expertise comes through with such brilliance in the way she handles the curveballs from her clients - I certainly threw quite a bunch. If you are ready for it, do consider this program. It is intense but quite powerful. My single most gain was in the way I was able to envision and re-vision a friendship and create a support system for myself out of it in the most novel way.

~Padmaja, Massachusetts

This was one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences of my life. You get out of it what you put into it. Rachel's program is genius! So much support and resources!!! Absolutely loved it!!!

~Julie, Oklahoma

My expectations when I enrolled in Beyond Surviving were to start the healing journey and whatever that brought for me. Generally, I wanted to find some peace of mind and some comfort and perhaps a sense of freedom from the pain. What I found was myself, the self I lost at 13. With this program I was able to bring her back to life so she could start to thrive as she did so long ago, before the abuse. She is alive and thriving, healing and learning and on to a better way of life. Rachel is real. She is a survivor. The program is built upon her sharing a part of herself so that others may heal. Beyond Surviving is selfless, priceless and necessary. I am not simply surviving now, I am beyond; a place where anything is possible.

~Shannon, California

Try it, if it fails you will have lost nothing but time. I tried it and I am beyond glad that I did. I promise your life will change.

~Teneish, Alabama

Throughout my life, God has placed some of the most amazing people in my life. Somehow from the very beginning I knew that Rachel Grant was going to be one of those people. I also knew that going through this program was God's will for me at this time...really that's the main reason I never quit...well that and Rachel chasing me down a few times. This amazing woman has put up with email after email after email from me. Wow...I went from anger that I had no clue to depression like I've never before experienced, and I sent loooong and multiple emails to Rachel...I was going to take someone with me into that rabbit hole. Each and every time, she would brilliantly pull me out of that rabbit hole and get me set going in the right direction again. Let's just say that I have had my fair share of therapy in my life, which there was nothing wrong with that, but I've never in my life experienced the amazing ability that Rachel has for knowing, listening, and teaching some of the most incredible things in my life. I have been clean and sober now for almost four years. The only reason I share that is this...from the time that I was raped at 11 years old up until the time I started getting clean and sober, so almost thirty years, I viewed myself as a bad kid, as a drug addict, and finally as an alcoholic. Through this program God, and Rachel changed my entire perception of who I was. Not only did I learn that horrific act that happened to me at 11 but the coping skills, drugs and alcohol I chose at that age, were not my fault either. Today I know that I am responsible for keeping myself clean and sober, and by the Grace of God he has given me one more day that I don't have to drink. But what I am trying to say is that now...things are starting to shift and change and it is exciting that I can truly love myself enough to know that I am worth being a healthy person.

~Jennifer, North Carolina

During my time coaching with Rachel, my inner world has transformed from one of intense self-judgement to a safe space for my heart and true self to flourish. My outer reality is really starting to mirror this shift. I am no longer raging in the dark woods with frustration and fear, but climbing the hills and being present to the peace and beauty of this world, of which I now experience myself to be an integral part. The climb has been hard at times, but Rachel has held the space for so much new insight, and taught me so many new tools, that although life is still intense, it is starting to fill with purpose, fulfillment and connection. I was so wounded around my sexuality, and Rachel has held an exquisitely supportive and safe space for me to delve into the darkest, most shame filled places, and I finally feel permission to claim my desires and power. I'd already done so much work on myself that initially I was cautious about going back to the basics, but that has been one of the greatest gifts. Rachel herself is an incredible coach, formulating a coherent and deeply thought through program. I would recommend her to anyone with issues around abuse and sexuality. And as a person she is filled with a bravery, compassion, intelligence and integrity that set the container for a profound step of healing and freedom.

~Jason, Washington

Rachel breaks down the symptoms of abuse one by one and provides do-able strategies for changing habits and reprogramming belief systems. This program is a clear how-to break free from our stuck places.

~Maia, California

I've been aware of my abuse and trying to heal from it for many years. I've tried so many modalities, and never wanted to identify as a victim, so maybe that's why it took me so long to seek out someone who specialized in incest/CSA. But after a trigger that felt beyond my level of rational understanding happened, I did a random google search and ended up reading an article that Rachel wrote. I took a chance and signed up for the Beyond Surviving program. I'm so glad I did, because for the first time I felt truly understood, and the resources and support offered in this program, as well as the assignments, allowed me to pave the road to a lasting change. Rachel has given me hope and confidence that healing actually DOES happen. Her program is very well organized, direct, and has always made me feel so supported and seen. I no longer feel like my abuse defines me as an outsider looking in, and I am so honored to be a part of a community of courageous people doing such amazing work. I have recommended Rachel's program to a handful of people since starting this program, and the more I feel empowered enough to share myself with others, the more I realize so many people need a program like this!

~Ocean, California

All I can say is this program has been a life saver. I had been through so many other programs and traditional therapy nothing ever helped or gave me any hope and it all felt so impersonal and one sided. I honestly hated it all. But with Rachel, I felt understood and safe in a way no therapist ever could. Today I have hope.

~Caitlin, California

I had an amazing experience and after completing this program it left me feeling more empowered and more confident and with a more positive perspective on life. Rachel goes above and beyond in helping people and its quite evident that she is an amazing person. Rachel just wants to help people heal and feel better within themselves and through this program shows people how to access the power that has been lying dormant within them and how to activate it in a healthy and powerful way. Rachel is a very caring, supportive, professional, warm and nurturing human being. You will be amazed at how this program can transform you. I highly recommend Rachel Grant Coaching.

~Olivia, Canada

When I started Beyond Surviving, I was hopeless and did not realize the extent of my pain. Rachel helped me open "Pandora's Box" by empowering me and being there to go through my own self discovery in a non-judgmental way. She helped me see gifts in my experiences and pain and also helped me to love and value myself more. Anyone who has suffered from abuse or assault would greatly benefit from working with Rachel. I have seen growth in myself I did not think was possible, and I now see opportunity that I didn't even know I was missing. Thank you to Rachel for being passionate, vulnerable, understanding and compassionate.

~Leah, Massachusetts

Prior to joining Rachel Grant Coaching, I was mentally lost, unable to control my emotions, filled with anger and rage about the abuse that happened to me as a young girl. I had met with multiple therapists trying to cure my depression and anxiety but was left feeling more trauma and medicated. Rachel has a real gift - she provided real tangible tools to help me find myself and teach me how to move past my trauma. This program provides support, is authentic and incredibly valuable. I can honestly say I love myself today and I now live my life without toxic shame. I have a new positive outlook on life with my new lifestyle.

~Tawnya, Oregon

Rachel and the Beyond Surviving Program changed my life. I've learned more about myself in this program than I did in therapy and am so grateful to Rachel for helping me work though my trauma and get me on track for a life full of joy and happiness. If you are considering this program, I promise it is worth it.

~Bailey, Tennessee

I don't know if I really had expectations when I started the Beyond Surviving program, or if I did, they were incredibly low. Up until my first assessment phone call with Rachel, I had struggled with my voice with previous and current counselors/psychiatrists and friends, and I have always had difficulty expressing how and why I felt stuck. I was becoming aware that the coping skills I had developed during my survival mode of over 3 decades was beginning to do more harm than good in the present day, but I felt constantly frustrated that I didn't or couldn't figure out the tools I needed to get past my internal obstacles. I think Rachel and this Beyond Surviving coaching program helped create several "aha" moments to validate and explain the tools I had created, create new tools I needed, and also validated the feelings of stuck and isolated (despite being a "highly functional adult of society"). There was actual forward movement in learning how to really be in the present while reconciling with many unresolved issues from my complex traumas, which I don't believe I really expected, but I had hoped for after my first assessment phone call.

~Jenny, Maryland

Working through each lesson, and applying the tools Rachel taught me, has opened my eyes and my heart, to how I see myself. I now feel compassion for myself as child, and I like who I am today. I understand how and why the trauma I experienced when I was six continued to affect my life as an adult. I feel like the fog has cleared and I'm excited to keep going. I am free!

~Dana, Iowa

I can't say enough about the work that I did with Rachel. Her welcoming personality, her non-judgmental nature, and her real life experience with trauma really helped me get comfortable with her quickly and start digging into the work. I have tried several other avenues to help me through dealing with my trauma and all the tentacles that it can bring, but I never felt like I walked away with actionable ways of dealing with it all. Rachel breaks up her work in very manageable pieces and always has a way to make the rubber meet the road with tools and resources that help you manage every day life and every day life on the days when trauma related items find there way to you. It truly has been a pleasure working with her and I would recommend exploring her approach and program.

~Jenn, New York

Working with Rachel provided the structure, resources, teaching, and feedback I needed to do the hard work of trauma work. I am so happy I made the decision to do the program and it was worth every penny for me!

~Jackie, California

Rachel's coaching was the key I needed to access the rest of my life. I have lived with the results of childhood sexual abuse for over 50 years, and my only wish is that I had known about her coaching when she first started the Beyond Surviving program. The information and resources she has shared with me were not available when I was a child. There was no one to listen if I had been willing to speak out against my abuser.

Rachel herself is the reason why this program works. She has so much compassion and generosity for each of her Beyond Survivors. Her capacity to witness so much pain with so much love and empathy is phenomenal. I have not told my story in as much detail with anyone else, but with her help I was able to speak the unspeakable, and heal what I thought was un-healable. Her down-to-earth explanation of how the brain and body react to trauma in order to survive made sense, and that is not an easy thing to explain. The tools she offers just work - and they are surprisingly easy to integrate. Healing is a lifelong process, and I'm beyond excited for what my future holds. I know I can thrive instead of just survive.

In sixteen weeks, I have healed so much of the trauma I experienced so long ago. I understand the cost of the survival tactics I was still using long after the abuse stopped. Before coaching with Rachel, I had no idea what "self regulation" was. I thought I was doomed to always fly off the handle at the least provocation - or not - and I never knew which reaction it would be or why. Now I can navigate pretty much any situation with an increasing ease and appropriateness.

What I love about this program is that it is not about dredging up the past and all its ugliness. It is about putting those memories in their proper place. It's about learning how to accept what has happened, and then learning how to move on to something better. Rachel made sense of what my brain and body did to survive, and now I see that all the energy I was putting toward maintaining those survival tactics can be put toward having strong healthy relationships, fulfilling work, and the ability to navigate the moments and the days without rage and inappropriate emotional reactions.

The bonus is that the others in my group have become a solid part of my life, in a way that no friend has ever been before. I have unconditional love and support from this group, just as I had from Rachel and from Jocelyn all through the program. I am beyond grateful for all I have gained through this experience.

If you are reading this and wondering if it is too late to heal, I can tell you that it is never too late. You deserve to heal. Rachel can show you how.

~Bonnie, Canada

When I started Beyond Surviving, I was on this horrible downfall of depression and saw nothing more than this huge mountain I couldn't get past. I had been working on healing off and on the trauma that happened in my teens. I went on a hunt for groups on Facebook and came across Rachel and took a gander at it and was hooked. I started with the Boot Camp program until I was ready to leave my mountain forever and jumped into the Beyond program. I can not wait for what the future holds for me. Thank you so much for all you do Rachel.

~Amy, Iowa

Beyond Surviving is a transformative program that I would highly recommend. When I started the program, I hoped it would help, but my expectations were low having tried so many things that didn't produce the results I wanted. I felt like I was broken beyond repair and the trauma I had experienced as a child was affecting many aspects of my life. Now I can say I no longer feel that way. I am healing and just in the last 4 months of doing the program have seen huge shifts in the way I think and act. I feel like my nervous system has shifted down to a more relaxed baseline state and when I get triggered I remember to use the tools and I don't have the same intensity in my reactions and come back to that baseline much more quickly. Before doing this program, I never felt safe. Now I can say I do feel safe most of the time. Rachel has used her own journey as a survivor to create a program that really works, and she so skillfully and authentically shepherds the participants through the program. I would say this was beyond a doubt an amazing investment of time and money, and I am so grateful I did it. My only regret is not having found and done this program sooner.

~Carla, New York

As a married professional father of two grown children, I found myself pondering and actually engaging in very dangerous activity which resulted from years of CSA. The coaching based program provided me a strong science based framework through which I have changed my wiring and learned to utilize the tools to accept myself along with the negative and disturbing thoughts that unfortunately often come with this trauma. I have learned to accept myself as I am, whether those parts resulted from the abuse or survived the abuse and were destined to be a part of me all along, which saves me tremendous wasted energy and immense anxiety to say the least. Rachel personally has the right combination of teaching, encouragement,tough love and pure understanding as a coach in this difficult area. I am not "fixed", but I am so much further along than I ever thought I would be or could be, having completed this program and I am so thankful and grateful for Rachel.

~Peter, New Jersey

I am forever debted to Rachel for helping me with my trauma. Not only does she take the time to listen, she is methodical and approachable. Give her a chance! You won't regret it.

~Doug, California

Beyond Surviving was a meaningful journey for me! I had so much support as I waded through difficult emotions and events from the past. I feel confident to continue this healing journey and much hope for the future!

~Jennyrose, Pennsylvania

Beyond Surviving is a wonderful group experience that allows survivors to connect and explore with healing in a step by step progression. You can choose what healing you need to work through in this program. You will meet people from all walks of life and learn and grow together. It's a beautiful process with tools that help you succeed more in life with less abuse triggers. I highly recommend Rachel and the Beyond Surviving program.

~Robyn, Indiana

Rachel does a great job in addressing the issues that matter in abuse. She is deeply understanding, very involved in the process and gently guided me to remove the roadbloacks that were stopping me from healing. I feel restored and whole. She is a beautiful reflective woman inside and out.

~Ann, Oregon

Beyond Surviving could not have happened at a more perfect time for me. The weekly lessons literally lined up with the real life things I was facing. This isn't just a program, it is the key to a solid future. The tools I acquired will be used for the rest of my life. I will encourage every survivor I speak to to make this investment in themselves. Rachel is so very dedicated and makes recovery so tangible. You will be so glad you made this investment in yourself!

~Cathy, Oklahoma

Rachel is so chill, undramatic, and relatable - yet a total genius. I'm amazed that she has crafted this whole program, opening this whole mini universe of mutual support and healing. She embodies her own lessons simply, naturally - while being honest with us about the steps she needed to take to get there.

I highly recommend the group program. I myself was exhausted from years of confusing therapy, psychology & psychiatry processes when I started - so the group program was a welcome shift away from feeling sequestered in my own mind, trying so hard to get each new mental health professional to understand me. It helped me feel less "woe is me", it helped keep reality in check by integrating my healing with others, holding space for them as well. My shame levels have PLUMMETED in the last four months, and I am on my way to better employment and better relationships - woo hoo! Thank you forever Rachel!!!

~Hannah, Canada

Rachel provides a caring and supportive environment to bring your fears and pain to. Her willingness to share her personal experiences and her knowledge is invaluable. The program supports each stage of healing. It seemed that an issue would come up and guess what? That week's lesson provided the tools I needed to work through it. I got more from the first 6 lessons than I did from almost 2 years of therapy. Thanks to Rachel and Beyond Surviving I no longer feel broken or stuck.

~Jerrie-Anne, Canada

I had already worked through several of my issues in regards to my father sexually abusing me, but I couldn't figure out why I lacked the motivation to pursue my dream. Rachel Grant helped me to discover the negative mindsets I had about work, success, and ambition. I highly recommend working with her. She is genuine, transparent, and brilliant! The tools she gives you and her way of teaching you how to use them will impact your life for the rest of your life. I am forever grateful.

~Jeanette, Washington

Rachel Grant rocked my world!!! She not only helped me find freedom in my days, but also brought new focus and light into the dark and hard spaces of my heart that I was sure would stay cold forever. I am so thankful for her work in my life and know she has light to share with you also. When I wake up in the morning I am confident I can face the day and handle what is ahead, that was not the case a year ago. Rachel will walk through this journey with you, up many steep slopes and tough terrain - but you are not alone in the hardship - you'll get to the view at the end but also learn to slow down and enjoy the trail you are on.

~Rachel, Washington

Rachel is with you every step of the way. Not just during sessions but she checks in and encourages you between sessions. You learn how the brain works, why you feel and act the way you do and you learn how to make lasting change in a very mindful way. You will learn so many ways to grow and move forward.

~Tahra, California

This program has truly changed my life. I have worked with energy healers, somatic therapists, counsellors, etc. and done DIY healing for years, but still felt like there was something missing from my healing work. This program helped me to grow faster than any other modality I've tried, and I finally feel that I have recovered from and let go of the abuse I experienced as a child! Rachel is down to earth and practical and so so understanding. She tells it like it is whilst being full of compassion and I truly believe she can help anyone. If you're on what feels like an endless search for healing, stop here for awhile! Rachel's work is so different from anything else I have found and it might just be the thing that sets you free. It was for me.

~Inga, Australia

Rachel Grant has been instrumental in my healing journey. I suddenly recalled my past childhood abuse and had no idea how to process the information nor had any tools to support myself. Rachel stepped in, guided me through each flashback and memory, providing tools and compassionate support. As I end this program, I am forever grateful for the difference she has made in my life. I can say she truly saved my life! Her program provides practical tools and process to move into becoming more than just a survivor. Rachel herself is what makes this program unique. Her lived experience, witty personality and attunement to each client is the exception in this coaching world. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing support on their road to recovery. Rewiring your brain is not easy, but Rachel has mad skills! :)

~Danica, Oregon

Rachel is a powerhouse of a woman. She is an expert in a multitude of techniques, theories, and approaches that are effective in chipping away at the layers of abuse. She is both a first-class healer and a close friend. Through my protective layers, she saw my essence and helped me to see it for myself. Once I saw it, I could use the tools I acquired in the program to break down the hard shell of false beliefs that had built up as a result of abuse. At times the vulnerability was challenging, but sticking with the program was a gift that gave me the courage to put an end to generations of trauma and abuse. I have done a great deal of healing in the past four months, and I am genuinely optimistic about what is yet to come as I head into my 40's with confidence.

~Klara, Connecticut

Rachel is an incredible soul. I felt so supported by Rachel throughout the program. It really felt like Rachel has thought carefully about the program, each lesson, how they progress. She held space for us to open up and share our stories, to be vulnerable and felt safe doing so.

~Anna, Nevada

Rachel doesn't miss a beat!! She's so transparent & personally connects with each of us. I really value that! She always made me feel that she was doing life with me, that I didn't have to figure anything out on my own. I love how she brings play & fun into something that's been so dark & serious. I'm beyond grateful for that because it was the permission I needed to break through the drudgery. It doesn't have to be so depressing anymore. Thank you!!

~Kina, Arizona

Working with Rachel has been a dream come true. For the last 20 years, I've had so much pain stuck inside that I eventually exploded and my mind & body forced me to finally deal with it. After listening to countless Beyond Surviving podcast episodes and making the commitment to the program, it was like an elephant being lifted off my chest and talking to a superstar! I have learned so much about myself and grown so much as a person that I could never truly express my gratitude. This was the best investment in myself I could have ever done.

~Vanessa, Florida

Working with Rachel in the Beyond Surviving program gave me the guidance, safety and encouragement to tackle something that has been a dark cloud in my life for over three decades. I followed Rachel for 10 years before having the courage to reach out to her knowing that when the time was right, she would be my guide. I've emerged from this program a stronger and more powerful woman, and have broken so many of the chains that have been holding me back in my life. Saying yes to Beyond Surviving has been such a self gift!

~Jill, North Carolina

The program is systematic and Rachel is a wonderful guide on this healing process. She knows how to lead you through difficulties, how to face it and how to move on. I think everyone on this healing journey needs a professional support, and Rachel is the right person to go with you on that path. It's not always easy, but she is very patient, compassionate and with lots of knowledge. Sometimes I thought, "That might work for others, but that will not work for me!" but it did work. So, I am super happy we worked together. Thank you Rachel!

~Meta, Slovenia

Working with Rachel has been life changing, to say the least. One of my best decisions in life so far. It helped my broken and suffering body to function again and it’s empowered me to start fixing my life as a result. It gave me my power back. Rachel brought my body what it so desperately needed but didn’t get anywhere else. As I went through the program, struggles started decreasing, problems started resolving themselves, my mind started clicking regarding a number of things, my nervous system started healing, certain of my attitudes started changing, concepts I struggled with for years naturally started making sense to me on a spiritual and intuitive level and so much more. Rachel has extensive trauma knowledge and, as a result, was always able to meet me where my need stood whenever I had a question. She was always there, patient, compassionate and caring, at all times. Last but not least, I loved that she didn’t take me for a walk around the abuse but instead helped me step into that space to finally talk and tackle the tough abuse stuff. I’m very proud of the inner transformation the program helped my body experience. Thank you Rachel!

~Alex, United Kingdom

I never really intended to sign up to this program! There were so many reasons why I thought it couldn’t work: I’d spent around a year listening to Rachel's podcasts and interviews and it all resonated really deeply with me, but the program sounded too good to be true, plus it would take place online (I hate being on camera), and the time zones were all wrong. It didn't look promising! But I was fed up with feeling stuck. I’d seen a therapist a few years previously to talk about some of the abuse I experienced growing up, but I hadn't addressed all of it, and I felt I needed something more than talking therapy. I needed someone to show me what I could actually DO to create positive changes in my life, so I took a leap of faith and I'm so glad that I did.

When I first spoke with Rachel, I felt that I had finally found someone who understood me, could empathise with what I’d been through because she’s been through it too, and most importantly, believed that my healing was possible. I didn’t believe that myself at the time. I thought I was broken. I still thought deep down that I had caused the abuse and that I deserved it all. I had a great circle of friends, hobbies that I enjoyed and was holding down a challenging job, but the effort of keeping a lid on everything, keeping people at arm's length, and hiding how tormented and ashamed I felt every day, was just exhausting. I felt like I was living in the shadows and couldn't see a way to a brighter future. Fast forward almost a year, and things look and feel very different now.

The program itself is practical and really well thought out, with each lesson building on the skills learned in the previous one. The tools and practices sound simple but are hugely effective and can be used in lots of different areas of life. I’ve loved working with language and understanding the science behind why I react the way I do in certain situations. Rachel explains the workings of the brain in a way that is really easy to understand and relate to, and she models exercises and practices to disrupt and replace behaviour patterns and coping strategies that have become maladaptive. It was such a relief to discover that the way I react really isn’t my fault - my brain is wired differently as a result of the abuse. And the best thing is that it can be rewired to react in new ways.

This program is hard work, but it can be life changing. You get out of it what you put into it. At times during the program, it felt like my world had been turned upside down, like I didn’t know who I was any more, but actually I was just in the process of discovering who I was always meant to be before my abusers got in the way of that. Speaking my story out loud, naming the abuse and the abusers, and acknowledging the devastating impact it has had on my life so far was not easy, but it has been truly liberating. I now have a range of tools and skills I can use when issues or situations crop up in future, as they inevitably will because that's life. These days I’m much better at setting and holding boundaries, I’m learning to trust others, I'm making better choices, I’m willing and able to be more vulnerable, and I can see my worth as a person. Now I know categorically that the abuse was not my fault. I cannot change the fact that I was abused, but I can see now that the abuse does not define me, and it will not dictate my future.

Rachel is one of the most compassionate people I’ve ever met. I have felt cared for, challenged, supported and understood throughout the program. I have really appreciated Rachel’s flexibility, encouragement, warmth, and wit. I love that she brings her own lived experience to the table and isn’t afraid to say what she thinks and give an honest reaction in a way that a regular therapist never could. Her skills as an educator, facilitator and mentor are off the scale. If you're hesitating about joining the program, give it a go. It's never too late, and it might just be the best decision you ever make.

Thank you, Rachel, for walking alongside me on this journey.

~Nicky, United Kingdom

Rachel is very knowledgeable and personable. Beyond Surviving is an excellent program that empowers and teaches you how to continuously move through and forward from abuse.
