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

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

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 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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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 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!

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

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

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

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

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

What's good:

• Firm when she needs to be, but also gentle and caring, Rachel is both good and bad cop in one, which, when dealing with trauma, is exactly what you need to shake some sense into you, while experiencing acknowledgement for where you've been.
• She asks the questions that seem so simple and obvious, but when you stop and think about them, a paradigm shift occurs.
• She patiently helps you sort between fact and fiction.

What's bad:

• Cleaning out the bones in your closet is a lot of work. It's a hard commitment to make, and at the end of the day, you are the only one who can keep it.

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

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

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

[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

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

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

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

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

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

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!!!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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 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

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

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 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 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 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

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!
