Raechel Pefanis, 

I am a proud Indigenous woman (Six Nations of the Grand River) from the turtle clan. I also wear the hats of an Executive Coach and Registered Social Worker. As the author of "The Person Behind the Professional: Cognitive Behavioural Coaching for Everyday Workplaces," and the founder of Red Maple Coaching and Consulting Services, my team and I are dedicated to enhancing a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of business success – the emotional vitality of individuals, teams, and relationships within workplaces.

​

My daily pursuits involve serving as a keynote speaker, thought leader, and team coach, specializing in organizational health and development. With a diverse background in various modalities of practice, including CBT, IFS, DBT, MI, Family Systems Therapy, and corporate tools, I bring a wealth of expertise to both therapy rooms and boardrooms. However, at the core of my toolkit lies the magic of cultivating strong relationships with my clients.

​

Having navigated roles in clinical, coaching, and consulting spheres, I've discovered the irreplaceable nature of what often defies verbal expression – the spiritual work we must embark upon. This realization has led me to psychedelic assisted therapy, a powerful means of facilitating transformative work with others. I've witnessed how this form of therapy transcends defensive mechanisms, opening avenues for profound insights and life-changing perspectives. It's this potential for transformation that fuels my passion, motivating me each morning to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
