My Story

Rachel West grew up surrounded by people she loved who were struggling—family members, partners of family, and friends who were caught in cycles of addiction, emotional pain, and destructive behaviors. From a young age, she found herself stepping in where others stepped back. She saw people not for their challenges, but for their humanity. She became the one who listened, the one who stood beside them, the one who always looked for the good even when it was hard to find.

For years, Rachel carried this role quietly, believing she simply had a natural instinct to help. But as she moved through her teens and into her twenties, she realized something deeper: she wasn’t just supporting others—she was witnessing the patterns, beliefs, and unhealed wounds that kept people stuck generation after generation. She knew there had to be a different way forward.

After earning her degree with honors in graphics, multimedia technology, and web design, Rachel built a successful career in the creative field. But a turning point arrived when she discovered personal development work. What started as curiosity quickly became a revelation. She learned how thoughts, beliefs, past experiences, and internal stories shape everything—our choices, our relationships, our emotional patterns, and ultimately, our lives.

For the first time, Rachel understood the root of the struggles she had witnessed for so long.

That clarity lit a fire in her.

She trained, studied, practiced, and immersed herself in transformational work. She learned how to help people shift their inner world, release old patterns, communicate more effectively, break cycles of addiction, and strengthen the relationship they have with themselves and those they care about.

With this new direction, Rachel built her own coaching practice and founded Empowering Growth—a space where individuals, families, and professionals can heal, grow, and reconnect with who they truly want to be.

Today, Rachel helps people overcome the mental, emotional, and relational blocks that keep them stuck. She is especially passionate about supporting families affected by addiction, individuals navigating life transitions, people carrying limiting beliefs or self-doubt, and those looking to improve communication and strengthen their relationships.

Her work is grounded in compassion, clarity, and empowerment.
Her mission is simple:
To help people break free from old patterns, build healthier relationships, and create lives aligned with their true potential.
