After serving 10 years in the Australian Army, including overseas missions with the United Nations and becoming the first woman to train men, Rachel transitioned from military sergeant to the corporate boardroom, trading her sergeant stripes for a business suit. She applied her military strategic and tactical acumen to navigate the complex terrain of business and sales strategy. Over the next 20 years, she earned numerous accolades and high-performing awards in the corporate sector.

​

Rachel then made a significant shift, leaving her high-flying sales career to become a spiritual leader. She spent eight years pursuing a Master of Divinity degree and studying various spiritual, ancient healing, and mystical secrets.

​​

Rachel grew up Catholic and is now a New Thought Minister, blending traditional Catholic teachings with contemporary spiritual practices. Central to her ministry is the Sacred Heart, a powerful symbol of divine love, compassion, and wisdom. This sacred symbol reminds her of the boundless infinite wisdom, love and guidance that flows from the divine source within each of us.

​​

As a New Thought Minister, Rachel emphasizes the presence of a universal spirit or God in everything, the power of positive thinking and the belief that our thoughts shape our reality. Her ministry focuses on principles like love, abundance, and personal empowerment to help individuals live fulfilling lives, all while connecting deeply to the Sacred Heart's teachings.

​​

Rachel also integrates the Divine Feminine into her services, drawing inspiration from figures such as Mary Magdalene, Marian traditions, and other biblical figures. She embraces the spiritual essence of Mother Earth and the elementals, creating a holistic approach that honors both traditional and modern spiritual perspectives.

She runs Aroha Inc. with her Māori husband and son—a business named after the Māori word for love—reflecting her commitment to bringing love, as symbolised by the Sacred Heart, to everything she does and all whom she serves.
