Who We Are

Jonathan and Rachel Oatridge

Rachel Oatridge

Rachel has been coaching since 2019 - she has completed her accredited coaching diploma and is a Member of the Association for Coaching. Rachel’s passion is to see people experience true contentment and fulfilment through reaching their potential in every area of their lives. She seeks to facilitate this through coaching (in business, education, charity and health sectors as well as for private individuals) and training (e.g. listening skills). As well as being a life coach she is a qualified Occupational Therapist - most of her OT career has been working with children, young people and families who have been impacted by long term disabilities, but she also has a special interest and experience in using coaching to empower individuals/families to manage the effects of health conditions. Rachel has experience of working in schools (both as an Occupational Therapist and as a TA) and working with women with life-controlling issues such as domestic abuse and drug/alcohol abuse. She has a Masters degree in Contextual Theology and is currently a Mission Enabler for Northern Lincolnshire in partnership with Rural Ministries. Having been born in Northern Ireland, lived in Scotland and now living in England, Rachel feels truly “United-Kingdomish” (she just needs to live in Wales, but visits there fairly regularly)! Rachel loves reading, horse-riding, walking and paddle-boarding; is married to Jonathan; and has two amazing and inspiring daughters.
