Today, even the most expensive clothes are largely mass-produced. But you are a one-of-a-kind, single-run, never-to-be-replicated miracle on legs - why should you dress like everyone else? Through her unique Subliminal Style process, Rachel teaches clients to quit thinking like a consumer and start thinking like a designer, choosing the colors, fabrics, trends, and accessories that will show all of your features (inside and out!

Rachel is awesome and really makes you think about your style in a whole new way. It helps you get to the deeper meaning to what clothes to choose that help you portray the message you are trying to convey. Also, I will never look at color the same way! So many changes can be made just by looking at colors that work for you! More...

Before Rachel met with me she asked me really good questions about my personality, what image I want to convey, and any obstacles I have in shopping or issues with my wardrobe.
She was amazing at getting to the heart of what I wasn't expressing through my appearance because I had ideas stuck in my head about what I should wear and what I should look like. During our first session we tried on all kinds of combinations that had never occurred to me for casual, dating, business, and formal. She helped me tap into a hybrid style that reflects the creative way I wanted to dress when I was 8 years old, the "grunge" look I wanted in college, and the femininity that captures the woman I've become.
P.S.: Rachel is a thrift store genius for all styles. She advised that brown boots would look great with this dress. These new suede brown boots are from a local thrift store and cost $25!

“Words cannot express how grateful I am for Rachel! She worked magic with the clothes in my closet, matching colors and patterns I would’ve never thought to put together.
She also showed me my key colors. She helped me to shop for my new web site pictures so I can be the best representation of me. I have a issue with taking time out of my busy schedule to shop, and I get overwhelmed after one or two stores, so it was a dream to have Rachel do the shopping for the shoot. She has an ease and an openness that makes being naked in front of her in your closet like a no-brainer!”

Rachel has been my stylist for over 2 years now. I initially sought her out because I had lost a significant amount of weight and needed some help with alterations. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of thought and attention to detail she provided. Since then, she helped me completely re-design my wardrobe to support my niche-market business, which requires a tricky balance of professionalism, modesty, and femininity. I never realized how much (or how little!) can be communicated with my personal image before. The best thing is that everything in my closet is organized well, goes together, and can be re-combined into endless outfit options. I find I can dress myself more quickly and with more confidence, and my friends and loved ones have definitely noticed the difference! I have recommended Rachel to my mother, friends, and significant other, and I still consult her for looks for important meetings and events. More...

Since changing my career from a corporate person to a freelance photographer, I haven't been able to figure out what to wear. I had a few issues like looking too young, heels aren't going to work anymore since I'm often on my feet for hours, also office attire just aren't comfortable but work out cloths aren't appropriate to see clients either. After meeting Rachel, I mentioned these frustrations to her. She attentively listened to my needs and observed my style. She also asked me what type of photographer I wanted to be seen as and not just an any artist or professional. Then she came over to my house, looked at my closet and put together a few outfits that I'd never thought to wear together, including the clothes that have been hiding away for years! Then she recommended a few pieces that could go with them that I can buy, which are also super versatile! With these new outfits, I feel so confident and comfortable! It truly represents who I am today and not the corporate person I was back then. I'll definitely go back to Rachel whenever I need to add stuff to my closet! More...

What do you love most about your job?
Many times, I'll hear that a client thinks they cannot have FUN with style because of their body shape, job dress code, or busy lifestyle. I love that moment when a client realizes it can be easy and affordable to express who they are!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I used to style for Nordstrom, until I found that many of my clients kept coming back to me confused and overwhelmed by owning too much stuff! I realized that buying more clothes is not always the answer, and I decided to help people make the most of every item so that they can save money, space, and time getting dressed.
Why should our clients choose you?
My approach to style isn't for everyone. My background is in Cultural Ethnography and Identity Construction, so my business centers around creating a new and unique style for each and every client, regardless of what happens to be trendy. Everything analysis is custom, whether it's using your exact hair/eye/skin pigments to generate complimentary colors or measuring your skeletal frame to determine the perfect garment lengths to make you look taller and slimmer!
