About
Rachel Sachs Riverwood, PhD, LMFT
I left my executive identity and the management consulting world in 2015 to identify what was truly important to me, then find and seek to fulfill my life's purpose. This journey included, but was not limited to, moving to a small New England village, embarking on a shamanic healing apprenticeship, falling in love with myself and nature, painting and creating music, and returning to school for a PhD in Couple and Family Therapy—resuming my first career love: relational therapy.
Ultimately, I found that my life's purpose is simply: Love. I define Love as acceptance, wholeness, living in alignment and integrity, and working on Being, that is, actively experiencing, engaging in, and taking responsibly for my decisions and actions towards myself, others, and the earth. I bring this focus—finding, accepting, and living in and through Love—to all I pursue. I am not always successful! But each day, each experiment, each experience reminds me it is all worthwhile.
It is my sincere joy to help others find their way into their authentic, whole selves where they can let go of unnecessary suffering to experience and share Love with themselves and others.
