The Changepace partnership was established in 2005 to provide coaching and team facilitation services by founding partners, Rachel and Jacqui Alexander. In 2007 they invited Karen Unwin to join the partnership, bringing three strong and complementary styles together to build a business based on their shared passion to help people live inspired and fulfilling lives. Rachel, Jacqui and Karen are members of The Association for Coaching and The International Coach Federation.
