Rachel Quine

Rachel is passionate about the power of connection. She has spent over 15 years facilitating processes between people in conflict – creating safe, respectful spaces where individuals can move beyond their pain and gain shared understanding and healing. She is an accredited restorative practice facilitator, an experienced and energetic trainer, an enthusiastic speaker and a deep thinker – gaining a distinction for her MSc in Restorative Practice in 2018.

Rachel was inspired to create UP Project while on maternity leave in 2020, recognising the need for more understanding, respect and humanity in an increasingly fractious world. She realised the huge potential of combining the ideas and values of restorative practice,  with the newly developed concept of radical respect and the opportunities for transformation if these processes were shared in new spaces.
