There’s nothing wrong with you.
Hi there ..
I’m Rachelle, and for as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with relationships and human behaviour. What draws us together? What drives us apart? What makes life worth living? I’ve spent years circling the deeper questions of how humans can actively stay sane and wholehearted in a culture that often pushes us toward endless distraction, over-consumption, and isolation.
Anxiety, depression, alienation, loneliness, relationship ruptures are all on the rise, not because there’s something fundamentally wrong with us, but because many of the old foundations of sound living have eroded: intergenerational continuity, care for land and ancestors, shared understandings of maturity and responsibility, and a sense of belonging to the wider community of life are all under strain.
Relationship work goes hand in hand with tending to these foundations. When we learn to engage responsibly and compassionately, nurture connection through difficulty, we are not only easing private suffering, we are also engaging in a quiet form of cultural repair. This understanding informs the work I do with individuals, couples, and groups.
Rachelle’s Bio
Rachelle Lamb is a speaker, writer, and Nonviolent Communication℠ trainer whose work weaves together psychology, cultural anthropology, humanities and deep ecology. Her synthesis of these disciplines provides a rich and fertile scaffolding for transformational dialogue which produces powerful learning experiences for individuals and audiences who often cite the learning as profound and life-changing.
For over more than two decades she has drawn deeply from the teachings of Marshall Rosenberg and from cultural thinkers such as Stephen Jenkinson, Joanna Macy, Frances Weller and others who explore themes related deepening as humans in challenging times.
Since becoming a certified NVC trainer in 2002, Rachelle has taught hundreds of classes and workshops, supported couples and individuals in navigating conflict and repair, and offered trainings for organizations seeking more effective and resilient ways of working together.
In 2025 she became a certified Relational Life Coach (RLT), a body of work that complements NVC by directly addressing entrenched relational patterns and supporting mature, boundaried, emotionally honest connection.
Her current focus is helping people cultivate relationships—at home and at work—that are grounded in truth, responsibility, and life‑serving engagement in a time when so much around us promotes separation and loneliness.
“Our most important work is to create the conditions for deepening our humanity, especially in this critical time when we are so unsure of where we are and how we got here.” —Rachelle Lamb
Rachelle is available for interviews and can be reached via email.

Rachelle and Marshall
Yep that’s me with Marshall Rosenberg back in 2002! A small group of us had organized a workshop for Marshall in Victoria and this picture was taken after the event.
Clearly I was smitten!! To this day I feel so enormously blessed to have met him, to have learned from him, organized events for him, and eventually to have worked alongside him at International Intensive Trainings.
Meeting Marshall changed how I viewed the world and how I understood human relating and conflict.
My life changed for the better when I met Marshall! ❤️🙏
