Rachel Boucher

Rachel Boucher is an intuitive guide, Reiki Master and meditation teacher based in New Haven, Connecticut, who calls herself a life coach for the soul. She holds a psychology degree from Boston University and a master's in education, and over the years has practised yoga, tai chi and Zen meditation. A long period of exhaustion taught her to trust her own body and intuition again, and that lesson now shapes her teaching for sensitive, deeply feeling people.

Her main tools are Yoga Nidra, affirmations, journaling and gentle energy work, often rooted in nature and the turning of the seasons. She records guided practices for Insight Timer, hosts the podcast Held by the Earth alongside a companion series of nature soundscapes, and sells short self-paced Yoga Nidra and journaling courses online. She also offers remote energy clearings, for individuals and for the chakras, and a course on clearing the energy of a home. Rachel writes books of affirmations and reflective poetry and takes many of the nature photographs on her own site. Free introductory classes on intuition and manifesting give newcomers an easy way in.
