About Rachel

From Diet Culture Dreams to  an Anti Diet Ambition

Hi! I'm Rachel.  

​

Thanks for being here. 

​

A little about me. I grew up outside of Boston in the 90's watching TV and aspiring one day to be a working actor. I dreamed of being thin like the actors and models I saw, but I just wasn't built like them. 

​

I spent decades, like most women, trying to change my body and doing unhealthy things (disguised as healthy) to try and attain the ideal body. I even became a personal trainer thinking that surely, that would help me achieve the perfect hourglass yet thin figure! But when  working out didn't drastically change my body, I felt even more insecure.  

​

When the pandemic rolled around my life changed like everyone else's. I would sit and scroll for hours and that's when I first heard the term diet culture. I instantly immersed myself in all things anti-diet and intuitive eating. I went on my own personal journey to mend my relationship with food and my body image and consequently that changed how I saw my roll as a personal trainer. I now wanted to help women not just with exercise but also with their body image and relationship to food.  And so, I became a certified intuitive eating counselor & body image coach to be able to offer my clients the opportunity to step into a safe, anti-diet culture space where their journey would be about feeling safe, seen, confident and worthy. 

​

I

I truly believe that we can REWIRE our brain through neuroscience. Learning the importance of mindset has been crucial in me changing my own body image and relationship to food and I love helping other women interrupt their current thought patterns and build new, more empowering, ways of thinking. 

​

In 2024, after 17 years living in NYC my husband and I decided to try something new and we moved to Chicago. We have been enjoying this new city and all it has to offer. 

​

When I'm not working with clients or creating content online you can find me, snuggling my dog child,  traveling the world, visiting friends or relaxing in the beautiful nature of New Hampshire where my parents live.
