Meet Rachel

Hi, I’m Rachel and I’m a follower of Jesus! My husband Shawn and I are both life-long Oregonians and have been happily married for 33 years. We have a daughter Anna and a granddaughter Lily Grace who are our pride and joy! We live close to a network of nature trails and enjoy exploring them with Lily, who delights in each bug or twig.

Our front yard is a certified wildlife habitat and we attract a least a dozen different species of birds, as well as a small gang of hungry squirrels, aka the greedy gobblers. I’m a life-long learner who loves books, podcasts and documentaries, especially on history, theology or psychology.

In addition to many blessings, I’ve also experienced much hardship and loss. The Good Shepherd has led me on a path of healing and hope and that gave me the desire to serve as a mental health coach. It is an honor to walk alongside others on the journey toward transformation and peace!
