Rachael enjoys building relationships with clients and referrers as it makes the process a lot smoother. Outside work, Rachael lives on a small holding on the border of Wales and England. Rachael enjoys spending time with her two young sons, her Yorkshire terrier, along with 3 farm cats, and some chickens! She is hoping to add some Alpacas to the pack!
