Meet Rachel

I am a lifelong learner who always seeks out opportunities to further educate myself and stay apprised of innovations in my field. After surviving a stroke in 2002 caused by a congenital heart defect, I became passionate about learning how my body works and cultivating a relationship within myself built on healthy choices stemming from scientific knowledge combined with self-acceptance and mindfulness.
I began practicing yoga in 2003 and became a certified yoga teacher in 2011. After years of experience in project management, technology sales, broadcasting, and training, I decided to return to college for my Masters in Exercise Science and Health Promotion to become a full time Health and Wellness educator and coach.
I chose to follow my passion: To empower others to live healthy, active, and happy lives through education on exercise, stress management, nutrition, and personal health leading to greater self-efficacy and self-love.

 

As a wellness coach, I help clients develop and implement personal wellness plans using proven coaching psychology.

As a yoga teacher, I serve those that I am blessed to lead during their journey, drawing focus away from attainment and towards mind-body connection.

As an educator, I guide future health professionals to offer holistic, evidence based guidance while staying apprised of new research in traditional and complementary healthcare and exercise.


As a consultant, my experience with C-level executives, key decision makers and employees to develop and implement programs and train staff translates into effective workplace wellness programs and executive coaching work.
