About Rachel

After my liver transplant, rebuilding my core through gentle Yoga was crucial to my recovery. What I didn’t anticipate was that through Rachel’s nurturing guidance, I began to find healing for my traumatized soul after a lifetime of illness. Rachel’s unique combination of methodology and spirituality, along with her soothing delivery, provided the best recipe for rehabilitation I could have hoped for.
— Patrick B., Executive Director, Austin Texas
Thank you to Rachel for hosting weekly Meditation sessions at Facebook. I’ve tried meditation apps in the past and they just haven’t worked well for me - but I look forward to Rachel’s sessions every week and always leave feeling more relaxed, centered and less tense than when I walked in. Thank you for harnessing your passions into something we could all benefit from!
