Elevate HER

I’ve been practising Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga for over 6 years now, and I have worked with over 10 instructors so far in Asia and Europe. I am happy to say that Rachel is one of the best yoga teachers I’ve ever had! I’ve been a regular student at Rachel’s, attending her classes twice a week in our Google office for nearly 2 years now. Her classes are a must-attend for me as they help me to not only work hard on my muscles but also to relax and bring my awareness to a completely different dimension. Every session is different and enriched by yoga chants, breathing techniques and meditation.

As a very charismatic person, Rachel has this rare ability to adjust asanas to the diverse levels of the participants (some people are new to yoga, some are relatively advanced) by demonstrating a few variations of the same pose. I really appreciate the way she explains every posture with detailed instructions on what muscles should be activated, pointing our attention to ‘now and here’ by practising yoga breathing at the same time. Rachel is a true Yoga guru, constantly impressing me with her knowledge of other topics such as nutrition and wellbeing. Every time I leave Rachel’s class, I feel fully satisfied with my practice with a wide smile on my face and plenty of energy – I am so glad I’ve met Rachel on my yoga path!

I started working with Sandie shortly after I was diagnosed and treated for early-stage breast cancer at 41 years old. I found myself in a space where I was no longer confident about my lifestyle choices and overwhelmed about what steps I could take to help me feel in control of my wellbeing again.

Sandie’s coaching was instrumental in guiding me to a more knowledgeable, confident and calm headspace. I learnt to broaden my understanding of well-being to include other central pillars beyond diet and exercise, such as sleep and stress, which I had long overlooked. My 8 weeks with Sandie have had a significant impact on my overall psychological and physical well-being. I feel upskilled and informed, and I can better discern what’s right for me and my body despite all the dietary noise that fills the media. I feel like I have a solid foundation about what good health really means, and I am armed with a stack of resources and tools that I can use as I move forward on my well-being journey.

I so enjoyed working with Sandie – she was the voice of reassurance, always striking the right balance between tough love and a generous dose of empathy and patience when progress was slow in some areas.

I introduced Bella to my workplace, Studio Ramsay, for Mental Health Awareness Week to offer Pranic Therapy sessions to our teams. The results were tangible. People felt more relaxed, less overwhelmed and more in touch with themselves and their environments. Several people continued sessions with Bella after being introduced to her. Bella is professional and personable and makes you feel at ease at what can feel like a slightly alien thing to do in the workplace! The fact that she used to work in the industry gives her a sense of the kinds of pressures teams can be under and the sessions are short enough for everyone to feel like they can take time out of their day to take part.

I engaged Esta to provide support for our Uinsure’s female network. I wanted someone who would focus on the softer elements and was struggling to find a coach who could provide more than just professional guidance. I needed someone who could see the women as individuals, beyond their company roles, and Esta was perfectly suited for this.

Her attention to detail and preparation were exceptional, offering insights I hadn’t considered. She crafted a bespoke session tailored to our diverse group, which posed a challenge due to the varied age, roles, and backgrounds. However, Esta handled it with professionalism, sensitivity, and expertise, ensuring the session was impactful for everyone involved. The feedback from the group was overwhelmingly positive, and we will definitely work with her again.
