Reviews for Rachel Currie yoga & hypnosis

Willow has helped me see myself for who I actually am — not who I learned to perform, but who was underneath the whole time. We began working on my sleep through self-hypnosis, and slowly, I started listening to something in me that had always been there, waiting. I started honoring the parts of myself that had been interrupted, silenced, or rushed past for years. We made space internally, and for the first time, my inner child finally felt seen. Not fixed or analyzed. Just seen. I'm learning, slowly, to choose what I give my attention to...a sensation, a feeling, a moment...instead of living on autopilot the way I always had. I catch myself reacting differently than I used to. And while Willow never once pushed me toward it, I found myself journaling what surfaced. Old memories or old wounds, whatever you want to call them. Things I hadn't let myself feel in a long time. It carried me back into my early life and helped me finally make sense of how I came to see myself, and how I move through the world today. Willow has a wonderful, loving, encouraging, soothing voice. She has an incredible ear for what comes up, and she helps you use that information rather than just sit with it. None of this happened overnight. But slowly, with time and repetition, something in me has genuinely started to shift. And I'm so grateful I get to keep discovering it.

Not only does Willow help you to work through disruptive patterns, she also gives you the tools so that you can be confident to work through things on your own. Willow has a truly magical spirit and I found her to be a joy to work with.

Willow's offering is something special and unique. It's an opportunity to redefine who you are and how you want to move through the world with science-based techniques to re-wire your neural network. I can say, from experience, it works! Willow skillfully guides participants through the process with loving support that is trauma informed and intentional. If you want to evolve and elevate yourself into a higher way of being, start here!

Working with Rachel is unlike anything I’ve experienced — it’s pure energy, presence, and flow. The way she holds space feels alive, expansive, and electric, like every cell in your body is remembering how to move, breathe, and feel. It’s not just a session — it’s a full-body, mind-and-heart experience. She weaves together ritual, somatics, sound, and movement in a way that feels both grounding and wildly expansive. Every moment invites curiosity, surrender, and a deep sense of aliveness. What she creates isn’t something you just observe — it’s something you inhabit. The energy stays with you long after, expanding into your days, your body, your presence. It’s nourishing, awakening, and transformational in the most embodied sense. If you’re ready to step into a space that awakens your body, your mind, and your heart and to feel energy that truly moves and transforms you, working with Rachel is a must.

I reached out to Rachel as I've been dealing with a runaway brain. I wanted to have some techniques I could do anywhere at anytime, so I could quell my brain and calm my anxious thoughts. I got exactly what I was looking for. Rachel started by giving me some scientific background and overview of what I could do with my brain. Then, as she went through some carefully selected techniques, she would lead me through with detail. Then, she would lead me through again, but this time I felt we were sharing the burden. Finally, I would practice the technique on my own in front of her. This scaffolded approach was critical to me actually remembering how to do it! At the end of the day, I feel much more empowered to handle my wandering mind. I know I have something to use which has helped calm my anxiety immensely. Thank you, Rachel!

I reached out to Rachel to assist me in dealing with my nighttime anxieties, midnight wake ups, and heart palpitations. From our various sessions, I received the tools needed to help me deal with my nighttime anxieties. As of today, I have yet to experience another midnight wake up, any heart palpitations or restless anxious sleepless nights. Rachel has a very calming voice that helps you to relax into the session. You can tell she truly cares about her clients' wellbeing and does whatever she can to ensure a positive outcome

I had a great first session. Not only was it very enjoyable to me, but I learned a lot about myself and noticed things about myself I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. Rachel is very positive and makes you feel comfortable. You can tell that she definitely loves and cares about this practice and you personally. Working with her is a pleasure

Rachel introduced me to hypnotherapy because I was in search of a new meditative tool to assist me in overcoming some less pleasant areas of my behavior. I've been practicing meditation since I was 17, and having met Rachel, who is a sincere and exceptional person, I was excited to learn what hypnotherapy felt like for lack of a better term. We have now shared many sessions. They have all been transformative, but our 1st session really seemed to open a door to new possibilities. Since then, many of the friends, my Vibe Tribe, have worked with Rachel and all appreciate her approach and professionalism

Rachel is a truly amazing practitioner! She brings her brilliance, her heart, and her training all into her amazing capacity to hold you and guide you into the deepest states of relaxation I’ve ever experienced. From there, she helps you discover your truest aspirations that help you align energetically with them. I truly feel she is a gifted practitioner.

Rachel is so fabulous at what she does, and you can feel how much she truly cares about helping you overcome whatever it is that is weighing on you, or helping you change a habit, or just slow down and be present. She really understands what you need and even through virtual sessions, you can feel her calming presence. I would recommend a hypnotherapy session with Rachel to anyone! I can’t wait to do it again

She was able to help me view things from my past that was influential in affecting me at present. Redirection and reflection! Tremendous value 😊

My session was amazing. Rachel was able to help me break through barriers I didn't even know I had in my subconscious. I was able to get to the root of my abandonment issues and the session really helped find my inner peace with it.

Rachel's workshop was truly transformative. I came in curious about hypnosis but somewhat skeptical, not really knowing what it entailed or what it could do. I left in awe, feeling expanded and inspired by the power of this tool. The workshop was thoughtfully structured with a variety of activities including dance, paired exercises, journaling, and written reflections. However, it was the hypnotic session toward the end, supported by Rachel's masterful use of crystal singing bowls, that transported me to a magical, ethereal space. In this realm, time seemed to both stand still and stretch infinitely, leading me to a pure, loving place within myself that I hadn't known existed. In the days following the workshop, I noticed myself being more present, relaxed, compassionate, and empathetic. I participate in many personal growth experiences, so it's difficult to trace these changes directly back to any single event. However, I believe Rachel's workshop was an important part of my recent growth and transformation. Rachel's professionalism and extensive knowledge were immediately apparent, but what truly set her apart was her genuine care and compassion. Her attunement to the group's energy was remarkable, allowing her to guide us with creativity and intuition. Rachel's infectious joy, curiosity, and care created an atmosphere of trust and openness that enabled deep exploration and growth. If you're seeking personal growth, self-discovery, or simply a profoundly moving experience, I highly recommend Rachel's workshop. Her passion for her work is evident, and her ability to facilitate transformation is a gift. This journey of heart and mind has left a lasting impact, providing me with new tools and perspectives that continue to influence my daily life. -Hypnotic Heart Activation Attendee September 21, 2024 at The Center SF

I attended Rachel's Hypnotic Heart Activation workshop and it was excellent! Rachel runs a trauma-informed practice that honors your individual needs. She uses research-backed science on somatic processing, including how to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (i.e. to relax) through breathing techniques, mindfulness, and play. She utilizes gentle coaching and encourages an inclusive atmosphere for all bodies. She leads with confidence and curiosity and creates a space in which playfulness and connection are present. I really enjoyed the workshop and found myself completely immersed and present with my body, instead of any outside concerns. Will definitely attend another workshop!

Village Yoga Center LLC is extremely grateful to Rachel Currie. She brings a gentle heart along with her immense knowledge and expertise in the workshops, yoga classes, and meditation sessions she facilitates. She is extremely welcoming and can put clients at ease, so they get the most out of their session. Additionally, Rachel is extremely trustworthy. She utilizes our studio, and we feel confident that she manages the studio as if it were hers. We have no qualms about allowing her to present her workshops & events without us being present. Rachel is the kind of human being that many of us strive to be. She is her authentic self, shining a light onto a path of healing, personal growth, and new experiences while fostering a sense of openness and compassion for oneself and others. If you are lucky enough to have Rachel facilitate a class for you, you immediately understand that she is truly a special person, and you are in for something extraordinary!

Testimonial for Rachel Currie I, Marisol Fernandez owner of Rooted Movement, have had the pleasure of knowing Rachel Currie in her capacity as a yoga instructor and hypnosis practitioner within our community. Rachel's transition from leading yoga classes to hosting a hypnosis workshop has been a testament to her diverse skills and dedication to holistic wellness. Her hypnosis workshop was an enlightening experience, diving into the depths of relaxation and the power of the subconscious mind. Rachel expertly guided us through the process, helping us tap into our emotions and imaginations. Her approach to directing our inner energy was both innovative and deeply resonant, allowing us to access and reframe memories and be more receptive to new ideas and positive suggestions. Rachel's ability to create a comfortable and safe environment was remarkable. Her thoroughness and clarity in explaining the concepts and processes of hypnosis made the experience accessible and profoundly impactful. This workshop was not just an exercise in relaxation, but a journey into self-awareness and personal development. In conclusion, Rachel Currie is an exceptional hypnosis practitioner whose expertise and compassionate approach to teaching have greatly benefited our community. Her workshop was a transformative experience that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking personal growth and a deeper understanding of their mind and emotions.

Rachel is remarkable. I was directed by therapy to go in the direction of mindfulness and Rachel was the first that came to mind, I was hesitant to go but I can’t express how wonderful it was. She is phenomenal at creating a welcome environment and not only does she do this as a career but it’s very clear it’s her passion and I can’t think of anyone else I’ve seen so passionate about helping another human. I was comfortable and I felt like I was able to open up not only to her but to myself. She was incredible at guiding me through my journey and though it was only one session I felt the weight of the world lift off my shoulders and she was fluent at showing me the way to salvation.

Rachel is absolutely amazing! She has always been a calming and cheerful presence in my life so I was very excited to try a yoga session with her. She exceeded my expectations which I didn't think was possible. I was going through a bit of anxiety and after our session I forgot what I was even stressed about and was able to tackle that issue with a clearer and more focused mind. She has this way about her that just hearing her voice can ease your worries away. No matter what class you take I can guarantee you will come out of it feeling better. I can also guarantee that she will always give 110% of herself to help others because that's just the type of person she is. I would also like to add that it doesn't matter how flexible you are or what level you are at, she will find something that works for you.

If you’re looking for an inspiring, uplifting and positive teacher, Rachel is the one! She is very upbuilding and helpful. No matter your level she will make you feel comfortable.

I’ve known Rachel for years and she’s always had a great, calming presence. Her classes are very relaxing and calming to the mind, and the body! She makes you work, but it really makes you feel good after the session! Her flows are very “all-levels” friendly, she pushes your ability in a good challenging way, but also gives you things that fit you! I just had knee surgery a few months ago and I am able to do sessions with such ease. After a session with Rachel, you’ll walk away feeling at peace in both mind and body. She promotes a very kind and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable.

An amazing class lead by an amazing instructor. The poses were easy enough for a beginner like me to follow, but Rachel showed several levels of variation that let you practice at your level of comfort and experience. Looking forward to future classes!

Well trained professional with a pleasant voice while she instructs. Her instructions were clear and understandable. Beautiful in every way. I learned a lot and would like to continue taking classes from her.

Rachel has been assisting me through my knee recovery for a few weeks now. I bruised my knee joint back in April, which has forced me to sit more and thus created a new problem: piriformis syndrome. I provided Rachel with my doctor's notes and physical therapy plan. From there, she has created specific yoga sessions that are gentle on my recovering knee but also targeting the deep 6 lateral rotator muscle group. She is very receptive to my requests for alternative moves if the knee starts to become bothered during a session. She follows up with me regarding how I feel the day after our sessions and reaches out prior to our sessions regarding my pain status for the day. I truly appreciate all of her efforts, patience, and compassion. You can tell that Rachel loves yoga and genuinely wants you to benefit from its practices. With our sessions and my yoga homework that she assigns me, my pain has decreased! I highly recommend Rachel and cannot thank her enough for all of her help thus far. As my knee continues to heal, I look forward to my yoga sessions with Rachel. As someone who never really took yoga seriously, I am now appreciative of what it can actually do to improve and enhance your health.

Rachel and I have known each other for years. I expressed my concern of waking up tight and stiff. She told me about yoga and the benefits that come with practicing it. She spoke so passionately, and with such knowledge of Yoga. I was ready and willing to try anything in hopes of reversing these symptoms. Im a contractor by trade and my body gets beat up, so I knew this was the time, here and now to do something. Rachel tailored a complete unique program ,fit to meet my needs. Her class made learning yoga fun. She was so patient with me and was so informative through each privet class. Rachel is very professional and is alway so inviting greeting you with a smile. I highly recommend taking her class .It will change the way your body feels and how you look at diet , stretching and complete rest. You'll feel like a new person after your first month with her!

Rachel has incredible energy and is extremely knowledgeable about the body. She meets you where you are and helps facilitate growth in your personal practice. Her energy and drive are infectious and she really cares about her students’ progress and comfort.

Rachel gives great details and step by step instructions through each pose so you can follow along even without looking (which is sometimes necessary) as well as alternatives to fit your experience level. She's also incredibly encouraging as you follow along and mixes in some humor that really helps you keep strong. Her expertise and passion blossom even through the screen. I'm a beginner and I'm exhausted but was able to follow along relatively easily.

Rachel is awesome, she is very knowledgeable about what she is doing and she is more than willing to help you on your yoga journey. If you’re a beginner or have been practicing yoga intermittently, I’m sure Rachel can help you with sharpening your technique and your overall practice.
