Multiple individuals referred Rachel, she is well known in her community and building her career and reputation. The professional community speaks highly of her, as does several colleges in the area.

She looks over my food charts weekly and is available daily for food support and recipes and suggestions for clean power foods and supplements etc that I would not have tried otherwise. I have worked with nutritionists in the past who do the basic weekly food checks with me but Emily has a very revolutionized method that incorporates ALL aspects of good health, wellbeing, mindfulness, movement, focused exercise and nutrition all together. She provides a complete package that includes all the nutrition and food support anyone would need with expert suggestions and insights. PLUS she encourages and takes our twice-weekly meetings out into nature for power walks, mindful meditation, pilates, stretching, beach walks etc so that the coaching and food work follows me everywhere in my daily life in a truly positive and all encompassing way. It is a miraculous way to break one out of a negative mind set and turn around a life that was going the wrong way for many years. I am truly amazed at all the accomplishments so far and look forward to many more to come. Emily is also a trained pilates instructor and introduced me to trying pilates for my first time on a reformer machine which is an amazing and awesome experience I now do weekly. In the past I have only done pilates mat classes and felt intimidated to try a reformer machine because I wasn't confident in my ability to keep up with classmates and use the machine correctly and I hate not doing well at things. Emily has such a glowing and supportive spirit that it wasn't hard to agree to try this workout with her. The one on one work reformer work I have done so far is super helpful and not at all stressful since she tailors each session to my needs and current ability. I have experienced nothing but great results through her expert instruction, dynamic personality, and desire to help me in every area of my life that needed healing. I wish I could give her 20 stars! I cannot recommend her highly enough!
