A personal note from Rachael-Jayne . . .
In my teens, I was fascinated with psychology, spirituality, and human potential.
I didn’t know if I’d ever find a job that combined these passions, so of course I became a singer.
Growing up in Melbourne —the music and theatre capital of Australia—was perfect for me. I overcame stage fright and an enormous fear of rejection to become an award-winning vocalist and to create performances that could transform a room—or a stadium. My journey as a creative entrepreneur had begun.
I felt pulled to the arena of personal development and started teaching others to be Unshakable & Magnetic on stage.
In 2002 I ended my full-time singing career and made the leap to the USA to work in personal development and leadership.
I wanted to be Unshakable in all areas . . . but it eluded me. I felt unsafe expressing my power. I apologized for my talents, stifled my voice, and was constantly on an emotional rollercoaster.
I wasn’t okay with that, so I created the methodology I now teach. The practices of Unshakable Presence® created a major shift within me, leading to an unshakable inner peace, even in the face of challenges and unexpected loss.
My greatest hope is that I can show others the way to a peaceful mind while preserving their drive to do impactful work in the world.
My husband, Datta Groover, and I live in the hills in Northern Colorado. The retreat center we imagined and created in 2023, Casa Sagrada, is in the historic Downtown Loveland area. We hope to meet you there one day or in one of the many cities we visit each year.
With love,
Rachael-Jayne
