Meditation for Wellness and Nervous System Health

Rachel Wixey and Wixey Center for Wellness

Through nervous system awareness, felt safety, and experiential learning, I work with schools, organizations, performers, and communities to create more grounded, connected, and responsive human experiences.

My work creates experiential learning opportunities that help individuals and groups build greater awareness, adaptability, emotional regulation, and grounded connection in high-responsibility, high-engagement, and high-performance environments.

I support individuals and organizations in navigating stress, change, pressure, and complexity with greater capacity — helping people remain connected to themselves, one another, and the skills they’ve trained for when it matters most.

This work includes professional development, leadership and facilitation support, nervous system education, and performance-focused offerings for athletes, dancers, performers, and high-pressure environments.

Offerings are available in schools, studios, organizations, and workplace settings, as well as in my Center located in Northwest Ohio.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Wixey Center for Wellness exists to support nervous system health, resilience, recovery, and reconnection in a world that seems to be increasingly demanding.

We offer practices that are trauma-sensitive, based in neuroscience, and grounded in real life — not ideology, performance, or perfection.

This is a place to arrive as you are; a place to reconnect with yourself, build capacity, and develop greater awareness and responsiveness over time.

Offerings are secular in nature and grounded in neuroscience.*

*Our Sunday Services at the Center explore principles of love and forgiveness.

This space and my work are designed to serve people of all races, genders, gender identities, religions, non-religions, and backgrounds.

The Good Word

"What Rachel practices will be at the core of everything I do as a Career Coach.

What my students learned was truly shocking! I was in awe when I saw how relaxed and ready to learn the kids were after participating in Rachel's class.

Rachel is an enlightened storyteller. She shares a compelling message that made it easy for me to understand...Rachel has a true gift."

Mike Remer

Career Coach, Swanton Local Schools

"With great appreciation, admiration, and thankfulness, I want to express my deep and sincere thanks to you for your outstanding gift to all of us at our administrative assistance luncheon. You gave us much more than a presentation. You gave all of us an invitation and ideas on how to improve the quality of our lives. I still hear great reviews from those who attended, and now I am hearing from those who were not in attendance but heard from attendees about your unique gift. Thank you!"

"Your work is so important with our youth. The girls really enjoy you every year and Coach Matt loved it too. Love, love, love that!!"

"Thank you for your guidance, tough love, encouragement and helping me find my center again, and let go of the sh*t that doesn't matter to bring more joy back to my life."

"Rachel didn’t introduce me to the practice of meditation—I had started and stopped it time and time again. I would compare the way I meditated to what I thought was the “right” way, and convince myself I wasn’t doing it right.

What she did do, was help me find a way to get through self-judgment and the self-defeatism I had attached to the practice. Through conversation, education, and guidance, she helped me find my way to understand better how to meditate and, most importantly, why."

"I met Rachel at the absolute perfect time -- I was going through a significant life change. I was an exhausted, emotionally over-extended walking raw nerve who was tired of living in the pressure cooker emotional reality I had built over decades of poor coping mechanisms. I was searching for a way to feel grounded, and calm, and steady internally so I could most effectively and gracefully deal with what was happening in my life externally.

When Rachel introduced me to mindfulness and intentional awareness, I learned how to establish a habit, a practice of allowing myself to simply exist in whatever way my mind and body chose to show up in that moment. I learned how to regulate and ground my nervous system through simple techniques that gave me the peace and freedom to then approach my whirlwind of thoughts and emotions from a more clear perspective.

After a year of working with Rachel, I now have the ability to notice when I am unbalanced, to rebalance myself, and then allow my thoughts and feelings to rise, be acknowledged, and then work through them however necessary. I have learned to give myself grace as I work through the dynamics of life!"

“Rachel's intro to meditation series was life altering for me. I have tried for years on my own to stick with a meditation practice and was never as successful as I'd hoped. But with Rachel's expertise and compassion, along with the other lovely humans in my cohort, I am happy to say I am enjoying the benefits of a sustainable meditation practice. I am forever grateful for this space and cannot wait to see what offerings will come next.”

Sara Thompson

Student of Intro to Meditation Series

"Rachel Wixey is such a sound guide. Her knowledge, unique ability to teach, and insight of the journey inward make her the model mentor. She has encountered and overcome so many major challenges life can throw and has done the work in study, education, and meditation to offer insight and perspective that is extremely profound.

If you want to grow spiritually, find meaning in your existence, explore connection, experience meditation, learn lessons of the masters, enjoy total wellness, find relaxation of your mind and body, and in short - become the person you were meant to be, I urge you to initiate a relationship with Rachel and experience her magic for yourself."
