Rachel Paling – Head Neurolanguage Coach® and Creator of Neurolanguage Coaching®

Founder of NeuroHeart Education®, the NeuroHeart Education® Foundation & Efficient Language Coaching®. Creator of Neurolanguage Coaching®. ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC), ICF Coach Mentor, Corporate & Private Language Coach, Author & Keynote Speaker

I’m Rachel Paling and I started teaching English as a Foreign Language to adults at the tender age of 17. As a mature student I went to university in my 20s and after obtaining a BA Honours in Law and Spanish (with distinction in spoken Spanish) at the University of Sheffield (UK), I went on to do a Masters in Human Rights and Democratization (EMA) at the University of Padua, Italy and Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany.

I continued my studies and qualified as a UK Lawyer in 2003, but instead of pursuing a career as a lawyer, I decided to combine my teaching experience, my specialisation in business English and my legal knowledge to coach top executives across Europe. My professional development continued and at that time became and ICF ACC coach and then later an ICF PCC Life Coach. (In 2025 I have achieved the level of ICF MCC).

The creation of Neurolanguage Coaching® emerged through my own experience of teaching languages through all of the years since age 17. This combined with my own experience of learning languages, namely French, Spanish, Italian, German, and some Catalan, with basics of Arabic and Russian and a hunger to learn more, such as Chinese.

In 2019, Efficient Language Coaching and Neurolanguage Coaching® won the Re-Imagine Education Bronze award in the Science of Learning category. In March 2020, I completed my Masters in Applied Neuroscience and continued to study Neuroscience to develop and enhance my knowledge. In the same year, Brainz Magazine included me in their top 500 Companies, Entrepreneurs, Influential Leaders and Business Owners who are recognized for their entrepreneurial success, achievements or dedication to helping others

Also in 2020, I developed the NeuroHeart Educational Coach Training which certifies and ICF accredits teachers and educators of all disciplines and through the NeuroHeart Education Foundation wishes to bring this new way of teaching into educational establishments worldwide.

The following year, I completed my Masters in Neuroeducation and Neuropsychology (in Spanish) and was delighted to be awarded the Crea Global Award by Brainz Magazine.

“I believe that a deeper comprehension will lead to humanity communicating together in a totally different way and developing new ways of living and moving forward through the 21st century…”

In addition, my own personal development as a life coach over the past 15 years and my burning interest in what we are now discovering through modern neuroscience about the brain – and how the brain functions, reacts and learns – have all contributed to the creation of this concept and method.

Using this method, we have trained just over 2000 language teachers worldwide, certifying them as Neurolanguage Coaches – certified by taking our training courses which are some of the only language coaching certification courses in the world accredited by International Coach Federation USA.

I now deliver our courses to language teachers and teachers of all disciplines with a vision to transform and enhance the learning process.

The most fascinating driver for me has been seeing and experiencing better learning results from my own clients. Now, also the testimonials of many of the language teachers who have certified with me and become Neurolanguage coaches, are, in turn, witnessing better results from their clients.

Our mission:
To become educators who are expanding their teaching, who are the changemakers bringing the light into the educational cracks, to be the educators bringing the heart back to learning and soul back to language.

For teachers who are ready to co-create with learners, willing to communicate deeply from essence, to teach, coach and guide from authenticity, with the greatest desire to see learners thrive, empowered and succeeding.
