About Rachael
I have always loved clothes and fashion but following two pregnancies, leaving a career in Science behind me, several international moves and the journey into peri-menopause my changing lifestyle and bodyshape left me feeling disconnected and no longer able to enjoy getting dressed in the morning.
My self esteem took a battering...... I decided to retrain as a personal stylist with the Melissa Murrell Styling Academy, firstly to get my own style and self confidence back on track but also to help others as I was witnessing the majority of women my age having similar experiences.
Through personal styling I have a new acceptance of my changing bodyshape and have rediscovered the joy and confidence that comes from owning a wardrobe that works for my body and lifestyle, and feeling good in my clothes every single day.
All women deserve to feel this way and my aim is to share my knowledge to help this become a reality regardless of age, size or shape.
My Mission
My goal is to support and empower you to feel confident and beautiful, no matter what life throws your way. I want every women to leave her session feeling lighter and more positive about herself, and how she shows up in the world.
My difference? I work with REAL women who want to get their glow back.

Ever experienced that feeling of ordering 20+ items to try, only to discover that none of them is ‘quite right’ for your shape, leaving you feeling frustrated and fed up?​
-
Do you have a wardrobe full of clothes but nothing to wear?
-
Is your wardrobe full of clothes that are too small just in case your weight changes?
-
Is your wardrobe a sea of black, or do you keep buying the same items because you don't know what suits you anymore?
-
Do you feel like you don't know where to shop anymore?
-
Have you lost your sense of style...and yourself?
​
I get it and I believe you are perfect just as you are. This is why I have trained as a stylist to the ‘everyday woman’ with all her lumps and bumps and beautiful curves. The styling techniques I use are more powerful than traditional methods, and I promise to reignite your love for clothes and getting dressed.

As an expat living in Basel, I know shopping in Switzerland can be difficult, but I combine Swiss inspiration with options from further afield that ship here and aren’t cost-prohibitive.​​​​
​
​I really enjoy seeing my clients come alive and feel more like their old selves when they feel amazing in their skin, it’s an instant 'wow moment' which is really rewarding to be part of.
And behind the scenes...?
I'm a normal mum to two children living in Basel, but I've moved around the world and lived in different environments and lifestyles, so I understand the dynamics that come with constantly integrating into new communities.
​
I'm peri-menopausal and experiencing the body and confidence changes that go with it, and venturing out in the world to do something I love to help other women to become more confident.​
​
Aside from clothes, I spend a lot of time chasing after my two teenage daughters, and navigating the crazy emotions, workloads and activity schedule. I also enjoy yoga classes every week and walking our little rescue dog Luna.
