My name is Rachel. I’ve been a registered dietitian for five years, though my love affair with nutrition, health, and strength training started when I was just a kid.
Before earning my degree at the University of Vermont, my first love was flavor, community, and the magic of a shared meal. Many of my favorite life moments happened around a dinner table, a backyard barbecue, or a picnic blanket. As I dived deeper into the science of how nutrients work together, my palate and my approach to nutrition became bigger, bolder, and more dynamic. Coming of age in a culture obsessed with restriction, discovering that nourishing your body doesn't mean sacrificing flavor was nothing short of a revelation.
Food is the ultimate universal language. It connects us across cultures, ages, and backgrounds, and throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand the power of smart fueling. Growing up in New England, being active was just part of life, even if my complete lack of coordination cut any potential athletic career tragically short. Everything changed at 15 when I was introduced to strength training. It was the first time I realized strength wasn't off-limits to me as a young woman. Guided by incredible coaches, I discovered what my body was truly capable of when I treated it with respect, which meant pushing my limits while still honoring a good rest day.
Over the years, my approach to fitness and nutrition has evolved alongside me. I’ve watched diet fads come and go, giggled at clever marketing gimmicks, and pulled my hair out over the fear-mongering of uneducated influencers.
What I’ve loved seeing most over the last five years is a growing movement of people wanting to take charge of their health. The hardest part? Sorting through the noise to find what actually works. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work because no two bodies or life stories are the same. That’s why I love to dig deep, uncover the root of your goals, and build a tailored plan with you at the absolute center.
