Rachel’s love for exercise started when she was in junior high school playing volleyball and continued through her high school and college career. She knew quickly that she wanted to make health and fitness a lifetime passion. Rachel received her bachelors of Exercise Science from Lebanon Valley College and also found a huge passion in practicing yoga during that time. Rachel got certified to teach yoga in her senior year of college and has been teaching since as an E-RYT 200. From there, her dedication to health and fitness took off. She managed a yoga studio in Raleigh, NC, did personal training on the side, then returned to PA and became an Exercise Physiologist at WellSpan Health. Rachel now owns her own yoga studio in Harrisburg, PA and is over the moon to add in personal training again in her career. Her goal is to help celebrate everybody that wants to focus on their health, get stronger, and prioritize themselves in order to show up big for others. When Rachel is not at the gym, she is either at the yoga studio teaching or practicing, or at home reading and spending time with her husband and two dogs.
