Rachel Roth Sawatzky, EdD, is a facilitator, educator, and consultant guided not only by the question, “What do we have to do?” but also by the questions, “What do we get to do?”, “What fundamentally drives us?”, and “What’s at stake—if we rise to the moment, and if we don’t?” This reflective, collaborative approach shapes her ability to engage difficult conversations with compassion and humanity, inviting institutions to align policy, practice, and purpose. Her work is grounded in a commitment to creative problem-solving, inclusive engagement, and the development of organizational environments that balance accountability, care, and community well-being. With a Doctorate from Northeastern University and a Master’s from Emory University, she is the author of The Little Book of Restorative Justice for Campus Sexual Harms (2024), a contributing author to Applying Restorative Justice to Campus Sexual Misconduct: A Guide to Emerging Practices (2023) and Strategies for Trauma Awareness & Resilience for Sexual Harms (STAR, 2020).
She is also a certified yoga teacher.
Rachel’s work is grounded in a simple belief:
Effective organizations are both principled and practical.
Dignity, accountability, learning, and excellence can—and should—strengthen one another, translating values into leadership, systems, policies, decisions, and everyday practice.
