Rachel Welcomes You to 4Front Pharmacy

Since owning her first flock of pet lambs at the age of 7, entrepreneurship, leadership, health, wellbeing and mental fitness has always been at the heart of who Rachel is and what she does.  Her approach has been informed by her experience growing up on a farm, travelling and working with a variety of people in 6 continents, working in acute and mental health hospital settings, running a community pharmacy business and training and coaching businesses for the past decade, while being Mum to three children (now teenagers). 

Rachel is a highly experienced, award winning, international leadership and wellbeing coach.  She coaches emerging and experienced leaders to put their own oxygen masks on first, thrive as a person, and be a leader who inspires others to be and do their best. Her coaching clients come from a range of backgrounds, including education, healthcare, entrepreneurship and technology.

Rachel believes that who you are and what you do matters.  You are the person who is the healthcare worker, activist, professional, leader, parent, child, friend, artist, athlete, spouse. Whether you acknowledge it or not, you have a profound ripple effect in the world.  That is why Rachel is passionate about empowering, enabling, equipping, and engaging her clients to expand and grow, for the sake of being the difference that makes the difference to others.  

As part of walking her talk, Rachel is her own ‘patient zero’.  Her focus is to live in increasing integrity with personal leadership and wellbeing principles herself, and work with her clients to do the same.  For this reason, 4FrontPharmacy Online training always includes lifestyle advice as well as information on the medical condition, OTC products and consultation skills. 

In addition to being a Trinity Scholar and Pharmacist, Rachel is a credentialed member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF)  and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council EMCC).  Over the past 10 years, she has expanded her leadership and wellbeing expertise with specialist credentials as a Mental Fitness Coach, Medical, Health and Wellbeing Coach, Executive Leadership Coach, Mentor Coach, Coach Super-Visor and as a certified Yoga, Meditation & Breathwork Teacher.   

Rachel is one of only 51 coaches who hold the PCC credential in Ireland and one of only six coaches in Ireland that hold both EMCC Senior/Master and ICF PCC/MCC credentials and currently one of only two Irish pharmacists who hold a PCC Coaching credential (a shout out to pharmacist coach Ultan Molloy as my other MPSI, PCC colleague).

The criteria to attain any one of these credentials are rigorous.  Each requires 100s of hours of training, years of experience, OSCE style performance evaluations and ongoing CPD requirements.  This means that Rachel is honoured to participate in a number of global communities dedicated to professional excellence in health, wellbeing & professional and business leadership.  

As a facilitator, Rachel hosts weekly implementation mastery sessions with the World Executive and Business Coaching Summit, and is therefore at the cutting edge of the latest global trends in leadership & organizational development, team coaching & dynamics, neuroscience, psychology, wellness at work. 

She also volunteers as a coach/mentor with the Irish Institute of Pharmacy Mentoring in Practice | IIoP Portal and Ethical Coach Welcome to EthicalCoach - EthicalCoach and as a 'Living Well Leader' with the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, licensed through Stanford University and offered through various organisations in Ireland, such as the HSE and Living Well with Arthritis online | Arthritis Ireland. 

By working with Rachel, not only do you work with someone who has decades of experience working in primary and secondary healthcare in Ireland.  You also leverage her expertise, perspective and learnings from hundreds of coachees and engagement with cutting-edge communities of practice that expand beyond an Irish perspective or a pharmacy perspective.
