Racquel Palmese is a much-loved spiritual mentor, counselor, and transformational guide who has dedicated her life to supporting others in unblocking from whatever is keeping them from their full expression in their spirituality and life. Through her individual sessions, couples work, and her Circles Of Light workshops and retreats, Racquel holds a deep, solid, fully present, loving and fiercely aware space for those she works with. This allows them to face, embrace and transmute that which is locked inside and calling to be liberated and transformed.
Described as “a conduit to the presence of Spirit,” Racquel is honored to work with many of today’s bright visionary leaders, serving as a mentor, confidante and ally for those who often support and inspire hundreds of others in their public work and efforts as changemakers and ‘lamp lifters.’ Her personal journey of awakening, healing and stepping into her calling was a long, winding, and sometimes deeply humbling road of self-discovery. The essence of radiance, care, love, and excitement for life that emanates from her is a compelling reflection of someone who has traversed down to the bottom of the muddy lotus pond, and has emerged at the surface with the gems of a courageous life journey well lived.
Like so many of the people she sees in her circles and private practice, Racquel’s early years were filled with the challenging and often confusing initiation of finding a place and expression for her Soul’s gifts. There was no context for, or way to integrate the knowledge she had of places and spaces beyond this third dimensional world and lifetime, and the large energy streams that come through her. The tension of all of what was wanting to be expressed through her, contrasted by the conventional societal structures and cultural norms of the time, created a very unsettling state of continual unwavering fear within her system for the first half-century of her life. She often jokingly refers to herself as a ‘late bloomer.’
Moving from the East Coast to California and discovering the Human Potential Movement in her twenties opened a whole new world which felt expansive and resonant to her. The life-changing event of Racquel’s beloved daughter Justine’s birth also served as one of the most gracious and heart-expanding catalysts on her journey of growth and evolution. There was, and is, an ineffable bond between the two in which Justine, even as a very young child, was able to transmit a continual stream of important and transformative teachings to her mother, in just the right moments.
However, with unprocessed trauma from childhood still needing resolution, and an overall dissonance with not knowing how to share and express the gifts, wisdom and information that her Soul brought to share in this dynamic world, Racquel fell into patterns of escape that lasted more than a decade. In hindsight, she sees this as her time of greatest learning. In her most challenging hours, Racquel felt as if Spirit was asking her: “Are you willing to stay here or not? And if so, then who will you need to become?” Not long after that, she met her spiritual teacher, Charles McCall and the answers to those questions began to reveal themselves powerfully.

It has now been over two decades since that fateful and life changing meeting, and Racquel had the blessing of opening her own healing center in Laguna Woods, California, just eight years later, carrying on the transformational work that completely metamorphosed her own life and now continues to evolve and expand each year.
In reading from the countless, glowing testimonials about Racquel’s unique and profound facilitation and space-holding, sentiments are shared such as: “Racquel's help to me, and to so many others, has been of incalculable value. Racquel’s spiritual coaching helps a person’s spiritual progress accelerate. What could take decades may now take years.” Many point to Racquel’s capacity to be a clear channel or bridge to Spirit. As one who has walked such a varied path before finding her way home to Self and Source, Racquel deeply celebrates the indescribable beauty and perfection of the Divine Pattern that plays out in each of our lives, far beyond what we may cognitively understand. It is her greatest privilege to guide and support others back home to themselves and to a path of harmony, humility, love, authenticity, and reverence for the beauty of life.
