“ After a short period of working with Rakes i began to realise that i was unconsciously living out ineffective habits developed by defences in my early life. They had protected me but I was unable to grow, to thrive and really be who I am. I can’t recommend her enough. She is understanding, empathic, and her creative coaching skills helped me see what was holding me back. I feel much more in touch with myself and empowered in making decisions important to my life. ”
