from pain to purpose:
the journey behind inner dragon wisdom
I’m not here to help you "fix" yourself — because you’re not broken.
I’m here to help you unlock what’s always been within: your heart.
I created inner dragon wisdom after walking my own path through emotional pain, heartbreak, self-doubt, spiritual awakening, and reinvention. Like many of the souls I now serve, I once lived a life that looked “fine” on the outside but felt deeply unfulfilled. Then came 2020 — in the span of just a few months, I lost my job, went through a divorce, and had to sell our family home. My world collapsed. That was my breaking point… and also the beginning of my transformation. What followed were a couple of relationships that cracked me open even further, including one with a narcissist that left me shattered and sinking into a dark, hopeless place. But the seemingly unbearable pain became a portal, deepening my spiritual journey and pulling me into the heart of my own healing.
No matter how many personal development books I devoured, how many online classes I completed, or how much wisdom I tried to absorb, something still felt out of reach. I was learning so much, yet things just didn’t click. It was as if the answers were circling me but never quite landing.
It wasn’t until I began unlocking the emotional walls around my heart, releasing my blocked energy, and listening to my soul’s whispers, that everything began to shift. My mission now is to guide other growth-seeking souls to do the same:
To turn emotional wounds into wisdom.
To transform stuckness into soul-aligned action.
To awaken the fierce, loving, powerful force within — your inner dragon.
Whether you’re navigating a life transition, feeling disconnected from your purpose, or sensing that there’s more out there for you… you’re not alone. And you don’t have to do this alone.
inner dragon wisdom exists to support your journey back home to yourself — with compassion, depth, and real tools for healing, growth, and heart-led transformation.

“Rachel is a good listener and very patient… She clearly guided me through the process, cleared my chaotic thoughts and released my real emotions… What she gave me was not a one-time method but I can use them anytime I feel like I want to. Without her, I think that I am still stuck in the problem and make my life stagnant. I am grateful to have the chance to know my very first life Coach, Rachel, and process coaching sessions with her.”
