"I have only worked with Rachel for a short time but the business has already reaping rewards from the insight Rachel has. Rachel has an uncanny way of looking at a big picture and narrowing it down. This I find useful in adapting and reforming my business model."
- Sharon Roberts, Tiger's Eye Advocacy Service
"I would highly recommend Rachel. We are working on diversifying within the company and creating a new service to run along side our existing services. Whilst receiving very good support and encouragement it was good to have a reality check and look at other possibilities and consequences of our decisions so we could consider other approaches to bring that service to the market place. We would have no hesitation in engaging her services in the future when the time arises. Thank you very much Rachel for everything you have done for us."
- Duncan Williams, Going the Greenway
"Rachel's mentoring sessions have given a real boost to my business.
As a sole business owner, I knew that I needed to focus on certain aspects of my business but I was finding it hard to make the necessary changes. From the start, Rachel gained my confidence, grasped the challenges I was facing, and helped me come up with practical solutions and effective routines.
Rachel's support was tailored to my aspirations and personality traits so I succeeded in achieving this with minimum pain and maximum stretch of my comfort zones.
Since working with Rachel I've pushed myself further and my business has grown in all the right directions.
Thank you, Rachel."

"I met Rachel by chance at a women’s vision boarding session last year. We connected straight away and exchanged details. Fast forward a year and I had a 6 week mentoring course with Rachel. I’d never considered 1-2-1 coaching before and am now wishing I’d set the time aside at various point throughout my career. Rachel was the compass for me on this journey called life! It proved so invaluable being able to ‘phone a friend’ and get an outsiders perspective on the direction of travel. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Rachel’s pearls of wisdom and the tool kit she provided in order for me to feel more confident in my decision making. I look forward to working with her again in my next chapter."
- Jennie Double
"I am writing this to highly recommend Rachel Roots, a fellow mentor at Project ReMake, a charity for ex-prisoners. As a fellow mentor, I have had the privilege of working alongside Rachel and have witnessed firsthand the impact she has had on the lives of our mentees.
Rachel's dedication to helping ex-prisoners uplift their lives through entrepreneurial and career opportunities is commendable. Her mentoring has not only helped the mentees learn new skills but has also boosted their confidence and self-esteem, allowing them to believe in themselves and their abilities. Her passion for mentoring and willingness to go above and beyond to help her mentees succeed is inspiring.
It was a pleasure and enlightening to have worked alongside Rachel and see her work firsthand."
