Rachel Remer

Executive Function Coach, M.ED, Sports & Exercise Psychology

Rachel is an Executive Function Coach at Narrative Shift who equips teens and adults with the psychological tools they need to reframe how they think, plan, and follow through. Because Rachel is neurotypical, she offers a grounded outside-in perspective that helps clients make sense of how their brains operate and how to work with those patterns rather than against them. She draws on her own record of academic excellence and athletic achievement to demonstrate concrete strategies for focus, planning, time management, and resilience. Through the Narrative Shift process she teaches clients to translate cognitive science into daily habits, map tasks into manageable steps, and replace self doubt with data driven self talk. Combined with imagery, mindfulness, goal setting, and nutrition and hydration coaching, her sessions give clients a practical toolkit for consistent success in school, work, and life.

 

A former collegiate softball player at the University of Mary Washington, she earned a bachelor’s in Psychology in 2022, followed by a master’s in Sport and Exercise Psychology from Springfield College in 2024. She is currently pursuing her Certified Mental Performance Consultant credential.
