“Racquel’s medicine is so deep and loving. Each time you show up you get exactly what you need (albeit not always what you expect!) Her impact on my life and my path since I began working with her is immeasurable. I enthusiastically recommend her to all of my friends, too.”

Dave Kemp | (Musician, Artist Name is DTO) DTO composes, performs and teaches piano and electronic music for yoga, weddings and inspirational events to heal and awaken. www.DTOmusic.com

“Racquel is an extraordinary healer. When she’s gone into the innermost parts of who I am within my soul it resonates so beautifully and it’s a gift that she has to be able to speak to me not only verbally but also energetically. I’ve had many ‘aha moments’ and fresh perspectives that allow me to show up in a way that is present and alive and in my role as a school teacher as well as being a student of life.

When I’m playing music as a musician (artist name is ‘DTO’), my intention is to channel whatever divine energies are coming through in the process, and Racquel helps me to expand the potential that I have as a soul, and I translate that into my creative expressions in the world.

Regardless of what our childhood and past may hold, Racquel offers her clients support and tools as adults to clean up whatever karmic past we may have. In relationship counseling sessions, Racquel creates the container for my beloved and I to be able to truly hear one another and feel deeply connected again. With all of her years of experience, she guides us in proper ways of communication that are effective.

Our work allows me to see and know that I am responsible for how I am becoming as a man, showing me that the way I was in the past doesn’t necessarily hold me back. It gives me a fresh perspective on the old patterns I was in- Racquel helps break those patterns up and create a new zone of possibility.”

Monisha Chandanani | Internationally celebrated Intuitive Leadership Coach & founder of ‘See.Love www.seelovechoose.com

“Racquel is masterful in assisting seekers of truth, wisdom and love into sacred alignment with their most authentic and radiant selves. Through her loving, piercingly accurate guidance and uncanny ability to transmute darkness into light, Racquel has helped me purge unprocessed trauma, creating more physical and emotional space for love to reside

After a few short months of working with her, I was able to let the most extraordinary love into my world, a man I had been great friends with for over 8 years. I can say with certainty I would have never been able to see that the love of my life was right in front of my face without Racquel’s support of my transformation.

She is a treasured gift to me and many loved ones, as I’ve referred most of them to her, for good reason, Racquel is the real deal. My partner and I now see Racquel monthly for a couples session, for she is a profound ally for love and helps us see what we cannot at times. She has helped us transcend old beliefs and supported us in created the truly stellar communication we now have.

If you come ready to strip away what is false and are willing to stand tall with the light, you will get the results you desire through Racquel’s loving embrace.”

Kyle Shinners | Co-Founder Harmonix Health, Integrative Health Consultant www.evolutionacupuncture.com

“Just as words could never contain the Tao, working with Racquel is beyond explanation and must simply be experienced. I can say with certainty though, Racquel is one of the most influential teachers of my life who has guided me with unconditional love to know myself as a man of God. Her gentle yet penetrating presence cuts through all the noise and distractions of modern life, providing the precious opportunity for direct connection with Spirit... dare I say an experience of the Truth of one's own being.

Having been on a spiritual path for over 2 decades working with masters and shamans from all over the globe, Racquel's work is the most straightforward and practical approach to self-actualization I have come across. Racquel's no frills, straight-to-the-heart method provides an honest, direct path to spiritual maturity.

I am so grateful for all ways seen and unseen Racquel has supported me over the last 9 years to gracefully embrace life with a surrendered heart. I can't imagine navigating the ups and downs of career, marriage and parenting without her wise counsel and vast life experience. Racquel's highly cultivated capacity to hold space is enormous, which not only creates a safe container to illuminate our shadows but empowers us to courageously embody love.”

Viraja Prema | Public Speaker & Guide for Humanity's Awakening of our Full Intimate Potential www.viraja.com

“Since 2007 I have been sitting in women’s circles and receiving private sessions with Racquel. She not only meets me exactly where I‘m at - with exactly what I need -each time, she sees and meets EVERYONE that way.

Each new challenge, new phase, new turn of the spiral, new lesson or thing of the past to let go… Racquel is able to be there. She listens, sees, hears, and speaks to the heart and The Soul. In each opportunity Racquel has to support me, she identifies a very significant piece that directly impacts me becoming more of who I truly am.

Racquel has guided me through some of the most challenging times of my life. She has helped me clear, let go, release things I did not even know were weighing me down. She has helped me connect to, trust, love, allow and celebrate the greatness of my own essence and welcome that ever more fully into my body and life. Her guidance profoundly impacts my awakening, evolution and capacity to contribute to my family and the world.”

Hemalayaa Behl | Motivational Teacher, TV Host and Facilitator of Enlightened Women Lifestyle Programs. www.hemalayaa.com

“I don't even have enough words to share about the powerful work that Racquel does. I am so grateful for the sessions I have had with Racquel as they have supported me in really getting in touch with some of the things inside of me that had held me back from being in my full powerful self. The healing work that Racquel does is profound, it has really helped me to see a lot, and has made a difference in my relationship with my beloved as well.

And there are also things getting shifted that I can’t even see and don’t need to see because of the deep, energetic nature of the work. The work is kind of out of this world, it's not something I can fully put into words, in terms of a particular method that is used. There's nothing for the mind to figure out in her sessions because they are so intuitively led. Whatever you call it Racquel, I'm so grateful that you're doing it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Jessica Plancich | Co-Founder of The Emerald Village Community, Social Architect and Integrative Psychotherapist

“The work I have done with Racquel and this lineage has fundamentally changed my life from the innermost chambers of my heart and into the world. It informs how I orient to myself, my family, community and those I serve.

I am grateful beyond measure for the opportunity to have foundational tools for getting and staying connected to my inner guidance for the navigation I require to live in these wild and dynamic times to continuously deepen my practice of love.”

Lukaijah | Speaker, Transformational Guide, Musical Channel, Spoken Word Artist www.lukaijah.com

“Racquel holds a deep, solid, fully present, loving and fiercely aware space for individuals to face, embrace and transmute that which is inside of them that needs to be transmuted for their evolution, liberation and emergence into all that they are here to become.

I personally have had deep healing experiences working with Racquel both in group and 1 on 1 format. I deeply respect her capacity to see, hear intuitively and facilitate powerful processes of transformation.

She has helped me in integrating aspects of myself and dissolving resistance within me to my full commitment to my purpose in the world. I highly recommend Racquel’s work for those who are dedicated to their evolution and the evolution of humanity.”

Jenny Sauer-Klein | Co-Founder of AcroYoga, Founder and Director of ‘The Culture Conference’ www.jennysauerklein.com www.thecultureconference.com

“Working with Racquel has been nothing short of life-changing. We connected at a time where I was in crisis and in need of some deep healing and support. Racquel’s fiercely loving, direct and compassionate guidance has helped me to reclaim my life force energy and my connection to spirit. She has helped me come home to myself and move through patterns that seemed impenetrable, so I can create a life that truly nourishes me on every level.

Just being in her presence allows me to access hidden and buried parts of myself in a container of complete safety and uninhibited self expression. She is such a direct conduit of spirit that time with her is nothing less than sacred. I am so grateful to be known by the beauty and power that is Racquel. Her presence in my life is irreplaceable.”

Amaura Rassman | Embodiment Guide & Transformational Bodyworker www.maurarassman.com

“I would love to share how grateful I am to have Racquel in my life. I feel that she has the capacity to hold whatever wants to be presented in the moment, and for me, that allows me to to show up and trust in what’s about to unfold.

I have incredible trust for her; I feel she is so skilled at allowing one to see what is really there beneath what might be presenting itself. She has guided me to new perspectives on my way of being and she is my bridge to spirit. I love her.”

Heather Hollander | Creative Producer at Lightworks Creative, and founder of ‘Bodacious Life’ www.bodaciouslivingyoga.com

“I have been blessed to work with Raquel both privately and in group sessions for more than 5 years now. I believe she is a gift to anyone who crosses her path and find sweet healing even in small exchanges. Her gentle strength and ability to guide me through the darkest layers of my consciousness with love is a pillar of support in my life. Thank you Racquel for your fierce dedication to your own truth and for the truth you call forth in me and others.”

Rebecca Mesritz | Artist, Mother and Community Builder at The Emerald Village www.Rebecca-Goodman.com

”I’ve been working with Racquel for 10 years now and her impact on my life has been beyond what words can convey. She has helped me so much and has guided me through aspects of my growth that have been profound. It has affected every facet of my life from my relationships with the people I live with, to my family, my relationship with my now husband, and even preparing me for the birth of my baby.

She has been pivotal in the formation of the Emerald Village Community that we founded in Vista, CA. Without her we probably wouldn’t have this amazing land and home and we certainly wouldn’t have the ability to work through the day to day interpersonal realities of living so closely with other people. The teachings and guidance she has shared have informed all of my life and helped me to be more loving, compassionate and grounded.

She has also helped me to know God more deeply, know myself more fully, and really take responsibility for my life and my choices in a way that is quite liberating.”

Becca Fresco | Somatic Coach, Grief Alchemy Facilitator & Yoga Teacher paititi-institute.org

Racquel is a gift; a humble, non-assuming completely badass healer. Raquel has helped me move from closure to openness, judgment to understanding, and stagnation to spaciousness, all while deepening my understanding of my own inner workings. She holds a profound space of non judgement combined with lived and embodied wisdom that has me able to hold myself and the world in greater love.

She is balm for the heart and rich soil for the soul. She is a true Elder, like a huge tree that feeds the entire forest, her wisdom is rooted, and reaches all the way to the sky. I feel profoundly grateful for the opportunity to learn from and work with her.

Yona Fy | Firefighter, Realtor and Intentional Community Co-Founder www.theemeraldvillage.com

”Racquel has been my teacher for over a decade. I remember not knowing what any of “God” meant, just knowing that I was feeling something and my heart was calling out for understanding. What a big task to understand God and to understand my own heart but Racquel was intuitive enough to know how to guide me from my own unknown to a clear space of my deepest truth. Racquel is less a wisdom keeper and more a conduit to the presence of spirit. She taps into what’s really here in the room between us and teases us forward to see and know it for ourselves.

Since working with Racquel I’ve also entered a wide community of seekers and truth tappers that has created lifetime bonds. I live in and co-founded an Intentional Community with Racquel’s “students”, again another amazing opportunity in this life to unfold our truth and know our hearts. If you are reading these words now, wondering if you should see Racquel please know that if she can take me as an ego driven Navy SEAL to a Man of the Heart in a decade, then you probably owe it to yourself to sit with this woman.”

David Coates | Licensed Psychotherapist, www.davidcoatesmft.com

“I think what makes Racquel really special as a practitioner and healer is the quality of radiance, care and love that comes off of her, and an excitement for life — it’s kind of who who she is— and that is what drew me to her and built my trust in her.
That in combination with a certain fierceness: there’s a fearlessness in her to come in to the depths of my world or my struggle and be incredibly close and intimate with me right there.

I’ve never felt an ounce of fear from her which is pretty remarkable even when I’ve pushed back on her pretty hard. There’s something that is kind of unmovable within her that is committed to this sense of loving possibility and support in helping people become who they are and to wake up within themselves.”

Phil Petachenko | Chiropractor, Trigger Point Therapy Specialist, www.petachenko.com

“I’ve worked with Racquel Palmese for several years. Racquel's help to me, and to 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. It's rare to find a person of Racquel's insight to help others on the difficult and unpredictable turns of a spiritual path.

Racquel empowers a person to find within themselves the guidance and Grace to move forward faster on their path, rather than being dependent on her. Each person can continue on their unique spiritual path as they work with Racquel.

I've been a group facilitator for several years. (Where do the leaders go for help? I go to Racquel Palmese.) I know of no one that I would recommend more highly than Racquel to help assist a person in uncovering and working through the blocks and patterns that hold back their true self from full expression.”

Amy Saloner | LCSW, NTP, certified nutritional therapist, lifestyle coach and co-founder of The Station Co-Lab in Carlsbad, CA. www.stationcolab.org

“I started working with Racquel eleven years ago. At that time I would describe myself as ‘unraveling.’ I truly felt the fabric of my being had been completely undone. As I started my work with Racquel, she did not try to put me back together. Instead, she helped me release all of the pieces that were not truly mine to hold, helped me love the parts of myself that I wanted to push away and shined the light on my heart to show me the way back to my wholeness.

Over time, I weaved myself back together with my own hands but with loving reflection, holding and guidance from Racquel. Racquel has a way of calling in direct guidance specific to you in a direct yet loving way. She does not hold back and is a true example as she shares her own vulnerability of walking her walk right alongside you. She is an angel on this earth. She has seen me in my darkest hours and my brightest light and I feel nothing but absolute unconditional love from her no matter what.”

Leyla Love | Community Builder, Visionary, Mother www.theemeraldvillage.com

“I met Racquel twelve years ago, at a time in my life when I was going through a lot of transition. I distinctly remember during one of my first sessions with her, she asked me how it would feel to stand atop of a mountain and throw my arms wide to the sky and feel with such abandon. The feeling was so far from where I was, yet so familiar at the same time, that I cracked wide open and cried tears that had been suppressed for years upon years. I had no idea how far I was from living in my heart and Racquel lovingly took me by the hand and led me back there. Throughout the years of knowing her, she has done this time and again.

The work is not easy. I don’t recommend it to people who want someone to coddle them. There have been times that I have felt extremely mad at Racquel. My stuff has wanted her to take its side. She refuses. It is in her strength and courage to stand for love that I have found the truest form of who I am on this planet.

The greatest part of the work with her is that it takes on different forms as she teaches you to become your own teacher. When things come up for me now, I’m able to move through the process differently than I did years ago. The compassion that she has shown me, is now compassion that I better able to show myself. The mirror that she has provided me has allowed me to accept, breathe and release the parts of me that keep from my heart."

Gary Hanick | President Of Naturemaker Steel Art Trees www.naturemaker.com

“I have known Racquel for fifteen years. To experience working with her, and being in a space without judgment, where complete honesty and love were expressed – unhindered by fear, guilt, anger, shame, and all the rest – led me on a sometimes rocky, sometimes painful, but ultimately gratifying path of discovery.

Racquel’s workshops incorporate energy work, movement, and meditation and have served as a catalyst for a sea change in my life. Her loving, sometimes forceful (as needed!) guidance allowed for enough room for me to make my own choices, with enough insight for me to see the larger overview...the surrendering of the old stories and beliefs that kept me in bondage. And the reconstruction of a more loving, authentic be-ing.

She is a life changer for me and I feel it is a fair assumption that most, if not all, of her students feel the same way. Even when Racquel digs into a trigger point… especially then!”
