About Rachael Flick
Meet Rachael Flick
One thing that is unmistakable for anyone who meets Rachael, or hears her speak, is her passion. Growing up, Rachael dreamed of being a doctor. Passionate about people and being an instrument in helping them heal, Rachael earned a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology from Kansas State University. Fascinated by the inherent design of the Creator within the human body, Rachael began exploring the growth process by coaching basketball and swimming.
While her educational path diverged from medicine, Rachael continued to support wellness journeys for others as a high school P.E. teacher and a personal trainer. Rachael watched as people tried and failed to transform their lives exclusively through fitness. With an intense curiosity, Rachael began to investigate the role that the mind, soul and spirit played in personal integration, wholeness and healing. This search for a path to deep healing, led Rachael to obtain a Masters’ Degree in Counseling from Colorado Christian University.
On February 5, 2018, Rachael Flick’s entire life changed. Her husband of ten years was killed in the line of duty. Listen to Rachael tell her story of life, of death and the resilience that followed.
