About Raychel
Raychel Hollingsworth knows what it means to push limits. She survived an abusive childhood, became financially independent at 15, and went on to scale hyper-growth teams at Google and Meta—optimizing systems, championing equity, and shaping products used by millions. Yet even at the height of corporate impact, she felt a deep ache for alignment and authentic fulfillment.
Two decades of immersive healing followed—Western therapy, somatic work, and shamanic plant medicine—revealing a calling far bigger than any corporate title: guiding high performers to break free from the boxes they’ve built around themselves and craft success on their own terms.
