Hi! I’m Coach Rachel, the Booty Kicking Ballerina,
and this is my story…
From the moment I could move in my Mama’s belly, I’ve been a dancer. For me, Ballet was my dream, my passion, my life…until it wasn’t.
At the height of my career, dancing professionally and living my dream, I had pushed through so much pain, injury, & unhealthy mindsets for years…that my body simply fell apart. By the time I was 19 years old, I could barely dance anymore and lost my role in the company. Excruciating physical and emotional pain was my daily existence. During the worst flare ups, I had to ask friends to drive me around because the pain was too intense for me to drive myself. Not how I had pictured my early 20’s.
Even the kindest voices in my healing journey told me I would probably be in pain for the rest of my life.
I spiraled into deep depression. I felt hopeless. Lost. Frustrated with my body, most of all. All those years of relentless training…How could my body betray me like that?! But I was the one who hadn’t listened.
My journey of healing took decades of inner and outer work…and only truly began when I learned to listen, love, and honor my body. Even in my brokenness.
Now, in my 40’s, I’m hiking the Colorado mountains, pain-free. Living a life of freedom beyond what I ever thought possible. And my passion is to help you do the same.
With more than two decades experience of my own healing, as well as my knowledge and expertise as a NASM certified personal trainer, coach, fitness instructor, dance teacher, former dancer, and lifelong researcher of all things health and fitness… I serve my clients the best of all my combined wisdom, a bit like a “charcuterie board!”
Whether you are a dancer, an athlete, a former dancer, or simply looking to improve your personal mobility…moving at your very best, pain-free IS possible for you. And I’d be honored to help you get there.
Are you ready to move at your best, pain-free…for a lifetime?
