Rachel Richards is a speaker, coach, and trainer with a gift for connecting personal stories to wider social change. Her talks inspire and inform in equal measure, drawing on real-life experience, humour, and a deep understanding of women’s wellbeing, leadership, and history.

A qualified wellbeing coach and personal trainer, Rachel helps women over 40 build healthier, stronger lives through sustainable habits — not perfectionism. She also brings her background in civic education to life through compelling storytelling, especially in her signature talk on the first ten women elected to the UK Parliament.

Rachel is based on the Isle of Wight and regularly speaks at WI federations, community groups, wellbeing events, and workplace training sessions. Whether she’s helping an audience feel stronger in their bodies or braver in their communities, her warm, grounded style makes her talks feel like a conversation — not a lecture.
