Rachel Wahba-Dunkley is a holistic life coach who guides Christian women of color as they navigate the journey of uncovering their authentic selves—helping them heal the past, ground the present, and enrich the future. As a Black & Indigenous woman and child of immigrants, Rachel's dreams and aspirations were often devalued for straying too far from acceptable paths, making her feel alone, misunderstood, and frustrated with God, herself and others. She has a degree in Human Development from Binghamton University, a Master of Education and Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University and then her certification in Spiritual Life Coaching from Transformation Academy so that she now develops mindset and wellness programs. Rachel's goal is to help women develop healthy views of self, build confidence, and operate in the fullness of who they're called to be.

A better future is possible and she is so excited to be a part of the work. Lorraine calls Toronto home, and lives with her partner, Tim, and her extroverted fur-child, Miso.
