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 pain-free and living a life of freedom beyond what I ever thought possible. 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, a former dancer, or dancing through life…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?
