About Rachel Kraft
My Story...
At 13, I went on a school field trip and attended my first yoga class. It was also my first experience with meditation, and it immediately piqued my curiosity. My older brother, Jason, became my mentor in meditation, mindfulness, and self-awareness. He would share stories, offer insights, and guide me whenever I felt anxious, overwhelmed, or stressed.
Throughout adolescence and into young adulthood, I struggled with anxiety and perfectionism. The loss of my father intensified these challenges, pushing my anxiety to an all-time high. My coping tools included therapy, meditation, yoga, hiking, and the unwavering support of family and friends.
I felt something was missing and began exploring whether there was such a thing as an "Anxiety Coach." Thankfully, I discovered somatic therapy and connected with a coach specializing in anxiety. That’s when everything shifted—I found my inner child and began to understand my anxiety in a whole new light. I knew I had to bring this transformative work to others. Within six months, I was enrolled in a ten-month certification program for somatic therapy!
