Healing Circle Philosophy
Getting good with money requires much more than a spreadsheet or an app. That’s why a Financial Therapist designed Money Healing Circle. Shifting your relationship with money is about transformational relationships, nervous system regulation and trauma healing.
Traditional personal finance usually focuses on rigid processes and narrow definitions of success. We believe that de-centering male whiteness is essential in making personal finance accessible for everyone. Our approach is non-judgmental, kind, and works with your strengths (and yes, your emotions are strengths!)
Exploring your emotional relationship with warm guidance and community are essential to creating a permanent shift in how you view yourself and your money.
The Healing Circle gives you 12 weeks of guided calls with a financial therapist and small group of others committed to redefining their relationship with money.
What the Healing Circle gives you:
-
Untangle the complexities of your money story with compassion and sometimes, a reality check. You’ll be joined by up to 9 other people in a 75 minute meeting hosted by financial therapist Rachel Duncan.
-
Pre-recorded videos and practices to supplement the live group coaching calls. Making homework fun again!

You get a minimalist Google Sheet where you can plunk in your money facts and see everything all at once. Comes with a micro course to walk you through it, and support in the Circle to make sense of the results and take the right actions.
-
Additional weekly & monthly community events with Rachel and guest experts. The Club is a vibrant community of people actively healing their money wounds and sharing their reflections, struggles, and insights in events and online forum. You’ll continue in the Club after the 12 week program for a low monthly cost, cancel anytime.
-
Your membership in the Circle gets you one private coaching session with Rachel to accelerate your healing journey.
The Healing Circle Process
1 | Normalize
You may feel alone in your struggles with money. “Shame and guilt” are the most common words members use to describe how they feel about money in their first session. In the Healing Circle, you’ll hear others’ stories that will resonate deeply, and you will be respected with warmth and honesty as you share your unique money story.
We’ve all been there.
2 | Organize
By the end of 12 weeks, you’ll understand your finances as a whole. We’ll give you a budgeting dashboard and our course of personal finance info. In the weekly calls you can ask your questions and receive gentle feedback and guidance. If structure sounds good to you, homework from the course will be suggested.
We’ll cover the practical aspects of money in the four domains:
earning | saving | borrowing | spending
3 | Heal
You cannot heal in “fight or flight” mode. We will teach you about your nervous system and you’ll build practices that help you stay aware and present around the topic of money.
Selected sessions will have guided exercises that incorporate art making and journaling to tap into your many sources of wisdom and see your relationship with money in a whole new way.
4 | Grow
Those intensely negative feeling you had with money will be replaced with self-trust, inner wisdom, and community support. After the 12 week Healing Circle group is over, you will continue in the Money Healing Club, with community events and forum. Money work is never done, and most members find the most benefit after at least 6 months of community involvement.
What the Healing Circle is not
🙅♀️ A program only focused on the logistics
There’s no “quick fix” to getting your money life sorted out. Read that again. There are no quick fixes. And if you’re a “quick fix” kind of person, you may know deep down that this habit might be what got you into a messy money situation.
There’s also no “one size fits all” answer, since every person’s money situation is different. That’s why the Healing Circle is a live small group program that hears YOU and your particular style. The program shifts and adjusts to its members to ultimately help you learn and heal in community, instead of alone.
🙅♀️ A rigid bootcamp-like program
Be honest, how many budgeting spreadsheets, workbooks and self-paced courses have you bought? How did they work out for you?
Did any of them validate your very rational choice to order meal delivery after a hard week even though you committed to only cook at home? Did any of them help you reflect on how you were raised is an essential part of your money behaviors now?
Did you feel defeated and “failed” when you couldn’t stick to a restrictive program?
In the Healing Circle, you can expect to grow and learn well beyond the 12 week program. You will experience satisfying wins, and discouraging setbacks. And we prepare you for both of these experiences because they are essential for healing.
Above all, you will learn to trust yourself with money.
🙅♀️ It’s not therapy, but do expect emotions to come up
Do you see yourself as an emotional person? Have you gotten feedback that you “shouldn’t be emotional about your money”?
From relationship boundaries, to childhood experiences, to cultural expectations, money seeps into every aspect of our lives. So of course it’s emotional. So you can count on very tender conversations in the Healing Circle. This is why having a Financial Therapist on your side is your best guide and investment, not only in your money progress but in your self-development.
Your relationship with money is inherently emotional and logistical, life-long and ever-changing. And we’re here for you every step of the way.
Ready for a profound and lasting shift in your money mindset?

"The Money Healing Club has helped me to feel less alone in my money struggles. I am learning that the issues I have with overspending have much deeper roots than I had realized and that I have a lot of healing to do in order to change these habits. The MHC has been a great place for the community around these issues and for learning ways to make improvements. It has been instrumental in my journey to building a better relationship with money and I am so glad I joined."

“It wasn’t that long ago that I was sitting on my living room floor Facetiming my mom and her partner crying. They told me I had a problem with money, and that my poor habits and decisions were hurting them and those I loved, as many addictions do. I had over-drafted bank accounts, debt was piling up, I was borrowing money from friends and family, and I was close to losing my apartment 😰
With Rachel’s help and the Money Healing Club, I was able to get four bank accounts in the positive, pay off my credit card, create and use a budget, and understand my income vs expenses. It has been so beautiful and powerful to realize how many others are experiencing the same thing I was.
Working with Rachel, you are truly in the best and most experienced hands. Rachel has such a deep understanding of the emotion relationship between us and our money. If you are ready to massively shift your relationship with money for good, you’ve come to the right place.”

"The past few months I've been finding myself again. Stripping away the things that aren't for me, and adding in the things that are. The Club is a huge part of that. The community and support I've found with my fellow members has empowered me in ways that extend far beyond just improving my relationship with money. Most importantly, it's helping me improve my relationship with myself."

It can be really easy to avoid the things we don’t look at or the things that scare us.
New Club members tell me they have worked and healing many areas of their life, except money. They’re emotionally intelligent, sensitive, and pro-therapy.
I understand the fear that is associated with taking charge of this big part of your life, especially when impulse buying can bring so much temporary relief and comfort.
However, if you’re here, reading this, it probably means you’re eager for a shift.
The Healing Circle is the softest place to land to finally talk about money 💸
Is your money the thing you’ve been putting off the longest?
“I help impulse spenders learn to trust themselves with money.”
I'm Rachel Duncan MA CFSW ATR-P, and I used to wear two hats: Financial Therapist and Art Psychotherapist before combining them into one gorgeous and unique hat here at the Money Healing Club.🤠
I also romp around Denver with my kids, husband and cats and sing to any unsuspecting audience.🎤
I co-founded the Money Healing Club and Healing Circle, places built for women who are tired of the usual money advice and carry the guilt of impulsive spending. Here we get real about both the practical and emotional sides of money, all within a supportive community as well as small groups.
I've combined my skills in art therapy and financial therapy – I hold a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling: Art Therapy Specialization and certifications in Financial Social Work and the Trauma of Money Method™️. The result? A well-rounded approach that addresses both your financial strategies and emotional health with information, community, and creativity.👯💖
But there's more to my mission. I'm on a quest to dig into the hidden potential of money as a catalyst for deep healing. Beyond spreadsheets and budgets, I'm eager to explore the nitty-gritty aspects of finance that impact us all.

“I have a very complicated relationship with money. Those feelings only made me feel alone which led me to pretty destructive coping strategies which caused even more issues with money thus a toxic loop was created. I felt so alone and had no idea how I would ever get on the other side but that is when I found Rachel and an amazing community of kindred spirits in the Money Healing Club.
Healing in community allowed me to be seen and helped neutralize the shame that had kept me stuck for so many years. Having others to bounce ideas off of, accountability and the sharing of resources has allowed me to make so many positive changes. My journey has only begun but I have seen more positive results in the last months than I have in my entire adult life and I know that the MHC community is my key to success!”

“MHC found me with some ✨ divine ✨ timing. Sure, I could have done with this 10 years ago, but my slow, steady (...and secret) money journey has got me to a point where I wanted to ‘come out’ with my true financial situation. I’ve ebbed, I’ve flowed - now Rachel is my dream guides for learning, accountability, and true, compassionate support. Thanks to you, I feel like this is the year I’ll actually make changes that stay and get the freedom I crave.
To see all of the stress factors beneath the ‘iceberg tip’ of my financial woes was freeing. It made me realize this is SO much deeper than ‘I'm just sh*t with money’. Can’t wait for more.”
