Originally from Yorkshire, Rachel trained at the prestigious Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in 1998. Although she didn't get the Oscar she had dreamed of, Rachel had a successful career as a TV presenter and voice-over artist. The creative arts were always calling her and so in 2020 she started a company called CraftyMonkies,  (a platform for creative people to meet and pursue their hobbies both online and in person). It now has a global audience.

After facing her own blocks throughout her life (particularly in the last three years whilst building a business and losing her dad to Cancer) & being inspired by amazing stories she heard from her tutors & classmates, she launched 'Breaking the Blocks.' A podcast that aims, to inspire others to find their true soul's  purpose and live a happier, contented life by ‘breaking their own blocks’. 

Rachel is also a wife & mum to one incredible human being, Maddison.
