Fun Facts About Raquel
-
For each ceremony I lead from 2024 onwards, I commit to planting a tree in Portugal.
-
I’m the cycling celebrant because I love the silence of a bicycle, I worry about my impact on the environment, and I love the feeling of wind in my face as I pedal to your ceremony!
- I have an MA in TESOL from the University of Nottingham and my research focused on learning strategies and cooperative learning. I am a level 2 coach trained with the IEC. For twenty years I worked full-time as a passionate primary teacher, teacher trainer, book author, and coach. Many of the skills I honed in those days are transferable to this dreamy job of celebrancy.
- You might be wondering about the name and logo… My surname – Coelho – means Bunny in Portuguese and I strongly identify with the idea of working hard while bouncing with joy in the world.
- I am the host of the bilingual podcast Anxiety My Friend – Ansiedade Minha Amiga.
