Rachel Ricketts - Grief Coach, Founder at loss&found
Rachel Ricketts isn’t afraid to drop f-bombs when she’s talking about grief and loss. The former corporate lawyer was forced to re-evaluate both her self worth and her definition of success when her mom passed away and a series of other traumatic life experiences clogged her will to continue down a very stressful and lonely path. Now a grief coach, she guides people through grief of all kinds with an open heart, an open mind, and honest - sometimes colourful - language. Her organization loss&found pairs intuitive coaching with physical healing practices like reiki and transformative breathwork to help people through grief of all kinds. She also works to raise awareness and acceptance of a subject that often makes people feel uncomfortable. Not a day goes by that Rachel doesn’t think of her mother and the resilience she exemplified, and she strives to do her best to mirror this quality in her work and personal life. Rachel truly has a gift for helping people and feels honoured to do so, but she makes sure she’s realistic about the process. Doing her best to ensure she doesn’t take all the heavy energies home with her by completing daily rituals and focusing on self care helps her continue to deal with her own grief and achieve success. She continues to follow her intuition and to get real about the twists and turns of life because though life is beautiful, it can sure be the shits sometimes.
