To The Pointe Nutrition- For Dancers

Fantastic experience: This is a great new framework to approach nutrition and dance! I am still unlearning a lot of toxic diet culture but feel so much more confident--and I trust myself more and more!

Fantastic experience: Working with Rachel has been a game changer for my daughter. As a dancer who has always been small, she has come under scrutiny by people who make the assumptions people make, which causes a whole other set of challenges. We came to Rachel seeking a clear and professional voice. We hoped for guidance that would include both structure and flexibility, while helping our daughter to remain focused on her health, well-being, and aspirations. To say that Rachel has achieved this would be an understatement. Rachel has re-opened the door to agency and has put my daughter back in the driver's seat where she is now better able to filter the external noise. We see her confidently thinking in terms of fuel and noticing how her body (and training) responds to different approaches. Our only regret is that we didn't seek Rachel's guidance sooner.

Fantastic experience: Rachel has helped me completely reshape my view of myself, my relationship with food, and how it affects my dancing. I was able to actually enjoy Thanksgiving dinner tonight guilt free which I haven’t done since I was little. I have learned that fueling myself is essential and that may look different than what others say. If you are questioning if you need to work with a registered dietitian I completely recommend Rachel!

Fantastic experience: A big learning journey that I hope others can experience too.

Fantastic experience: Really super helpful information, I feel so much more energy and less guilty when eating. I've allowed some pasta back into my life and it's so yum :)

Fantastic experience: Rachel is so caring and able to connect with the most reluctant teen. She was patient, informative and giving of her time for us as parents and our teen. She was on time, quickly responsive to any email and worked with our needs. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful tips for a healthy body and mindset, especially for a dancer, dance parent, or dance teacher. Support is offered for many aspects of dance. Emails are always answered in a timely manner. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I love the information and support Rachel provides to dancers. Her impact is especially evident among ballerinas. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Healthy Dancer Summer Intensive and gaining valuable insights into how I should be fueling my body for these prolonged dance intensives. As both a dancer and educator, I found immense value in what I learned and will apply it to myself as well as incorporate these practices into my teaching.

Fantastic experience: I hosted the Dance Mastery Summit and had Rachel as a speaker. She was awesome at keeping things straight forward and practical. Great advice we can all learn something from and keep our dancers healthy and improving

Fantastic experience: I honestly loved every part of the Healthy Dancer Summer Intensive. I loved that there was the option to go at our own pace and not worry about classes at certain times, making it very useful during summer intensive season. I loved that there was printable worksheets that I could work on throughout the weeks. The topics covered in the intensive were very important things to be talked about and I found it very helpful. As a dancer who was recovering from an injury this summer, this intensive was the best thing I could have done. Thank you Rachel and everyone who helped put this together, it was absolutely amazing.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the services of nutrition Rachel gives to dancers. She is helping me to understand my emotional and physical wellbeing. Also, she is passionate about it and shares the fundamentals of nutrition to anyone, no matter where you are from. It is awesome all the work she does through different social networks and blogging. I really enjoy learning with her!

Fantastic experience: I’m learning so much amazing information about dance nutrition through Ms. Rachel at the summer intensive I’m attending! Her knowledge is so helpful!

Fantastic experience: What seems to me to mark Rachel out is a rare combination of skills – yes, she comes across immediately as a trained, knowledgeable nutritionist who can give sound advice on a dancer’s nutritional needs and patterns. But, much more unusually, her own background and experience as a dancer give her a depth of insight and a sensitivity that make her advice and effectiveness so rare. She soon dispels the fear that we will have to surrender control over what we eat to the nutritionist. Instead, she shows how our aims of dancing and performing better can – and should – go hand-in-hand with feeling better and living more healthily. Her advice is completely practical and effective – she makes things seem logical and straightforward that are revelatory, life-changing and (perhaps for many of us) highly emotional. She understands both how and what it means when our lifelong attitudes to our food feel threatened – and how to make the process seem so gentle and easy. She knows that what is key is the way we think about food – our firm but often misguided beliefs about what we need to eat to dance well – and, most of all, she celebrates and uses our incredible motivation, self-discipline and commitment to dance. She has an immediately reassuring understanding of how to build trust and how to help support healthy and comfortable changes. The knowledge and clarity of her own thinking and suggestions seem to make it so much easier to face these beliefs openly and to see clearly why they are not working well for us. Her sensitivity and approachability are palpable – you can see how clear and practical her framework approach is and how it might support your own aims. Her motivation to help dancers at all stages of their learning and careers is such a reassuring factor. She is generous with providing a wealth of free resources, videos, blogs, workbooks, general guidance and gentle email prompts, which can give you a really good sense of what she offers and help you decide if you think you would enjoy working with her on your own goals and helping to take your thinking forward. I do hope you find her help as inspiring and helpful as I have. Alice

Fantastic experience: I purchased the studio package and it is packed full of helpful, educational and important information that parents and students can apply to their daily lives. It’s also beautifully presented. I’ll be printing off a booklet for all of my students and parents.

Fantastic experience: Can not recommend enough. Diet and elite training go hand in hand and there is still so much misconception about 'what you should be eating' Adding guilt and stress to eating habits and unhealthy relationships with food. To the Pointe Nutrition helps not only with the practical tips and food inspiration but equally as important stigma we create ourselves (or from external pressures) associated with food. I wish I had this support to each and learn from as a child and young adults.

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed the Zoom seminar of the nutrition very much. It gives an additional perspective for me to understand individual needs in order to accomplish special tasks. It is because dance is also an art form.

Fantastic experience: Excellent workshop! I always have a hard time figuring out what I should eat, especially snacking between classes or in recovery. Chocolate milk was an unknown interesting tip for recovery! Looking forward to recommandations at the retreat especially making good choices at a restaurant.

Fantastic experience: Working with Rachel of To The Pointe Nutrition was a wonderful experience. While organizing a workshop with her, she was thorough and detailed which provided me with a great sense of confidence and ease. The knowledge she has of nutrition and diet for dancers is immense and important. All dancers should be educated in this important topic and I look forward to continuing my work with Rachel as we educate more dancers on how to fuel their bodies!

Fantastic experience: Our workshop "The Healthy Dancer" was very informative and helpful when it comes to when or what to eat during a whole day of dance workout. You immediately see that Rachel is truly an expert in this field and is passionate about it. I can totally recommend to reach out to her or her program if you need support with nutrition, especially as a dancer! Michele

Fantastic experience: As a non-professional adult dancer, Rachel is a wonderful source of nutritional knowledge and encouragement! She's very approachable and happy to answer any food/fuel related questions no matter how embarrassing you may think the question is. Rachel is all about setting you up for success in the ways and means that are available options to you, which is always helpful as a busy adult.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough wonderful things about Rachel and To The Pointe Nutrition! She has been such an amazing resource, advocate and cheerleader for my daughter. I encourage every dance parent to use the wealth of information on her website, blogs and social media to educate themselves and their child to help navigate health and wellness in the dance world! Additionally, Rachel speaks their language. As a dancer herself, she knows what is going on inside their heads and can speak about fueling their bodies in a way that truly resonates with them.

Fantastic experience: I am so excited to use this curriculum during our summer intensive. Giving our dancers the tools to navigate such a difficult part of their dancing careers now will make a lasting impression for years to come!

Fantastic experience: So happy I came across Rachel & these resources on instagram. The recipes and tips are up to date, positive and inclusive. Such a great healthy, educated and well rounded program for our tiny and growing dancers well being.

Fantastic experience: I really think this page is very useful! As a dancer and nutrition student I am always really looking forward to her content, since it is very accurate, very friendly, and really impulses a positive relationship with food both as humans and as dancers, which I think is a major area of opportunity both in the dance community and in the health industry.

Fantastic experience: Rachel is an amazing woman because she is teaching ballerinas about self love when the ballet society is the hardest place for this. She is truly making a large impact on girls and a change in the ballet industry :)

Fantastic experience: Rachel is truly exceptional. She provided a valuable workshop for our Dance Majors that included education and application of information. Considering the complexity of topic, Rachel demonstrated a command of material that was compassionate, holistic and thoroughly researched. We would love the opportunity for Rachel to work with our students again.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic tips for dancers. I especially like it since recovering from surgery.

Fantastic experience: Having a young dancer, she doesn’t want to listen to mom about eating properly to fuel her body. However she listed to Rachel! The training was absolutely amazing! I have never seen my daughter listen so intently about how she needs to listen to her body and how to give it the fuel she needs to thrive as a dancer! Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: I wish I had found To The Pointe Nutrition earlier! Her posts help both me and my friends.

Fantastic experience: Thank you To The Pointe Nutrition for the wonderful workshop you presented for my child’s dance studio. Your information was excellent and sparked positive conversation between myself, my dancer and my cheerleader. Adolescents with big goals, engaged in lots of physical activity need to know how to fuel their bodies without rigid rules. I will definitely recommend other parents, dancers and cheerleaders to seek out your workshop.

Fantastic experience: Very easy to use! She was so kind and helpful!

Fantastic experience: I think it’s amazing having a site where you can learn so much about nourishing your body and appreciate life, avoiding restriction and enhancing dancer’s performance. I’m learning so much, all the information is very useful!

Fantastic experience: To The Pointe has definitely helped me understand how food can help me improve in dance by providing energy and happiness!

Fantastic experience: Great advices, great personality, very friendly, really recommend

Fantastic experience: Rachel’s workshop was both enlightening and empowering. As a former professional dancer turned educator who continually works to deconstruct my own dance “baggage” regarding my physical image and nutritional habits, I walked away with a better understanding of how to help my students be the healthiest dancers they can be. While Rachel didn’t sugar coat the real issues and dangers that can come from not fueling our bodies correctly, her open, kind, and encouraging spirit allowed for a feeling of safety. I highly recommend her Healthy Dancer workshop.

Fantastic experience: Rachel has been a tremendous help in my journey to finding peace with food, fueling my body to support my performance, and motivate me to become a healthier and happier version of myself. I have loved working with her and learned so much along the way. I’m so thankful and grateful for everything she has taught me throughout the Heathy Dancer Course.

Fantastic experience: We had Rachel, To the Pointe Nutrition at our school, Cary Ballet Conservatory, for our Winter Intensive and her workshop was so helpful and informative for the students. We always look for ways for our dancers to be healthy and happy individuals first, and we really appreciate Rachel's support and approach. We will definitely have her back and we always recommend her as a resource to our parents and dancers. Mariaelena Ruiz. Cary Ballet Conservatory Director

Fantastic experience: Rachel is so kind and has a wealth of important information to share. She has been so helpful and has walked beside me as I learn how to more confidently fuel my body for ballet. The Healthy Dancer course work and her Touring Journal have especially been useful during such a busy season for me. I would highly recommend any and all of the resources that Rachel has to offer!

Fantastic experience: I have spent the last few days devouring Rachel’s content and my goodness am I grateful for her incredible advice and wisdom. Dance mum life is far from easy to navigate and I’m so thrilled Rachel’s own ups and downs in the ballet world have landed her exactly HERE. What a Godsend!

Fantastic experience: Our teenage daughter is an aspiring professional ballet dancer and Rachel has been an amazing and invaluable resource for her to learn how to best nourish her body, with practical solutions that accommodates her busy schedule and sets her up for long time success.

Fantastic experience: Rachel is an advocate for all dancers to implement quality and science-based research to nutritional health. Her content is invaluable!

Fantastic experience: Rachel has such a fresh and positive outlook on nutrition for dancers. She has helped me so much in realising that nutrition plays such a huge role in a dancers performance in class and onstage. I highly recommend the program for anyone in recovery or even just looking to further their knowledge and support their performance!

Fantastic experience: Rachel's content benefits all, dancer or non dancer, her expert knowledge, her dedication to her business and craft, her ray of sunshine energy, her enthusiasm, her love for the dance world and everyone she has supported, the greatness you'll get from her is truly endless. She's such a gift to the community, She deserves all the chances and success she has, and more coming her way!

Fantastic experience: Love the info and positive vibe of Rachel - check out her resources! Deb

Fantastic experience: Rachel is so knowledgable about what she does & I love her approach and the care she instills in us dancers! Very grateful for her free resources & also online social media presence!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love all of To The Pointe Nutritions ressources! They are so helpful for all dancer to learn how to best support their dancing through food. I also admire how she doesn’t only focus on the nutrition aspect for dancers but rather on making a healthy dancer in all categories.

Fantastic experience: Rachel’s resources are AMAZING!!!! I cannot say enough good things about her and her business. She has helped me so much as an experienced dancer and I’m SO thankful I found her and her blog.

Fantastic experience: Such a good and wholesome resource for the dancer or aspiring dancer!

Fantastic experience: Rachel is one of a kind. She is an absolutely amazing resource for Moms like me who have young dancers. I want my twelve year old daughter to have a healthy relationship with food, and understand that her body needs to be fueled for those long hours of practice. Rachel is understanding, smart and passionate about what she does. She has taught me about different snacks and meals that will keep my daughter energized, and satisfied. I am a very busy Mom, and with Rachel’s tips, I have quick and easy snacks for my young dancer, prepped for the week. The world of dance is so lucky to have Rachel.

Fantastic experience: SHE IS AMAZING AT WHAT SHE DOES!! I would definitely recommend her!! Rachel is a kind-hearted person who cares about dancers having the best relationship with food that is good for their health and mental health and just An overall healthy diet! When it comes to food I absolutely love listening to her speak! She has helped me in so many ways! I’m so grateful that she was placed in my path! She is a person who saves the lives of so many!!

Fantastic experience: It was such a wonderful experience! We got to learn what truly makes up a healthy dancer. We had nutrition sessions as well as masterclasses in mental health, conditioning, injury prevention, etc. and ballet classes as well! Rachel made sure we got to work with true professionals that shared really useful information that we can benefit from to become better dancers!

Fantastic experience: I had the joy of meeting Rachel at a Dance conference in New York City recently. Her talk was incredibly informative and she took a lot of care in answering all of our questions. Nutrition, Health and Body Image tend to be sensitive topics among dancers but Rachel gave us all the tools we need to make sure our dancers are healthy, happy and ready for class. She encouraged us to reach out to her after the conference, to which she replied very quickly, and supplied us with her Schools, Studios, Companies - Healthy Dancer workbook. Looking forward to sharing all that I've learned and the start of the season at my studio. Thank you Rachel!

Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of doing the Summer Intensive this year and it was so incredibly helpful. I now have new nutrition knowledge to pass on to the teens that I work with as well as new Warm-ups that I will be implementing when I choreograph. I love the flexible schedule and the Master Classes on weekends were so much fun!

Fantastic experience: Rachel gave a presentation to the UNITY Dance Educator Conference, and shared so much valuable information and usable resources for our attendees to take home and implement in their own studios. She truly understands the unique challenges faced by dancers and teachers trying to navigate a healthy lifestyle, and is not only generous with her knowledge, but also accessible in her delivery of information. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed every minute of the healthy dancer summer intensive, I learned and grew so much after every nutrition session, masterclass and guest class. I can’t wait for the next intensive!!

Fantastic experience: I had the privilege to attend the Healthy Dancer Summer Intensive this year and have learned many valuable tools. I loved all of the workshops, nutrition sessions, and masterclasses. We had the opportunity to ask questions and receive feedback. Make sure you check out the blog on the website as well! There is a lot of helpful information. I recommend you check it out. Definitely attend a To the Pointe Nutrition Intensive if you have the chance!

Fantastic experience: The Healthy Dance Summer Intensive has been a remarkable experience. It covers every topic and aspect of nutrition to injury prevention, mental health, and masterclasses. Participating in this intensive has developed my physical, emotional, and mental well-being to be much more resilient. If anyone is considering taking part in this program I can tell you, you will 100% walk away with so much knowledge that you hadn't even known you needed! This is a wonderful opportunity and definitely one to not miss out on.

Fantastic experience: We recently worked with Rachel to plan the lunch menu and meals for our 2023 Adult Ballet Retreat attendees, and were so pleased with the way everything turned out! We had an extensive list of allergies and dietary restrictions to accommodate, and Rachel worked masterfully with our catering team to create delicious meals that gave everyone enough to eat, and would fuel our attendees for the remainder of their dancing each day. It was such a relief for us to have that work taken off of our plate (pun intended!) and in the hands of someone who knows, from extensive experience, what dancers need. Rachel also gave a seminar for each week of our Retreat on general nutrition for dancers, which was very well received by our attendees. Lots of notes were taken each week! I can't recommend working with Rachel enough, she is absolutely wonderful.

Fantastic experience: Rachel designed the menu for meals during a week long ballet intensive I attended. Each day offered a variety of healthy and surprisingly delicious options. She also conducted a nutrition seminar which I found helpful. She had a lot of great advice for changing toxic mindsets towards food that I think anyone (not just dancers) would find useful.

Fantastic experience: I had such a great seminar with Rachel! It was so informative and especially useful to get a perspective on nutrition that is geared towards dancers.

Fantastic experience: The Mastermind workshop for parents and dance educators is an incredible source of information to help us all guide our dancers to focus on fueling their bodies as athletes, and to model non-disordered eating behaviors and talk.

Fantastic experience: DanceRX was very excited to partner with To the Pointe Nutrition at NYCDA Nationals in New York this past weekend. Rachel delivered a very on point workshop for parents, teachers and dancers. It was incredibly informative!! We would highly recommend her to studios wanting to offer something different for summer camps and workshops that go beyond the normal physical dance classes.

Fantastic experience: Rachel shared a lot of important points on nutrition for dancers, I wish I had this information as a teenager!

Fantastic experience: I’m a soon to be collegiate dancer, but dance intensely at a studio during high school. I am still struggling with disordered eating, but you have helped so much! I used to only eat one big meal a day (like takeout, dinner, etc). And then snack for the other two meals. If I ever ate more than that I felt like I had to dance/workout for 2+ hours. Now, I’m eating two full meals a day and not feeling shamed of it! There are days where I struggle but I’ve changed my mindset thanks to your program! It’s now “My body needs this to keep going and make me a better dancer” rather than “eating this will make me fat and lose all the progress I’ve made”. I’m striving for that 3 full meals but I’m really happy with how far I’ve gotten. Thank you for this account/program, it has helped me and I know a lot of other dancers!

Fantastic experience: I really appreciated this workshop and all the knowledge and expertise Rachel brings to the table. As the mother of a young dancer who has always struggled with food and nutrition diet culture myself and always found it super confusing, I really appreciate both the workshop and the information available on social media which help break down the basics. Rachel makes it all easy to understand. And I’m happy to be able to give my daughter a healthy foundational start now and help her understand her own nutritional needs.

Fantastic experience: I love Rachel's Healthy Dancer program! Rachel is so kind and patient, and the information she gives is very well presented. Even though doing the work itself can be difficult internally, the way it's presented makes it easy to go through and has made me feel supported along the way. Rachel is also very responsive for help! I'm finding the program so helpful, and I cannot recommend it enough! Thanks, Rachel! :)

Fantastic experience: Working with Rachel was such a wonderful experience. She helped me meet my goals after 3 sessions. She is so relatable & approachable - I felt very comfortable being truly honest. She also is so well researched & absolutely an expert in her field.

Fantastic experience: I have followed Rachel for several years now. Tonight I had the opportunity to participate in her Healthy Dancer Workshop. As the parent of a dancer (and as a pediatrician) I cannot say enough positive things about the content!

Fantastic experience: Rachel was very knowledgeable, provided a well organized and articulate presentation addressing an often confusing topic in a clear and concise manner. It was well received by the dancers and parents alike. Her website is a reliable resource for dancers, parents and teachers who are seeking expert advice on nutrition. She responded quickly to all communication and worked well as part of a team in our Dance Wellness Seminar.

Fantastic experience: Rachel is passionate about the well-being of dancers. Her approach towards food and nutrition is fun and the workshop helps dancers understand the important of balance eating. I will recommend Rachel's workshop to any dancers, teachers, or educators.

Fantastic experience: Rachel has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only has she provided me with countless information on how important it is to live a balanced life as a dancer, but she has provided so much support and motivation through it all. Her program truly embodies what a healthy dancer's life is like and the key to having a balanced relationship with food, dance, and your body. I've worked with her through the healthy dance program and am also an ambassador for TTP Nutrition as well and have nothing but wonderful things to say about it. Rachel has helped me gain so much information on fueling as athletes, dismantling the diet culture, and living a care-free/happy dance life! :)

Fantastic experience: Our conservatory had a seminar with Rachel earlier this week and it was great. She's credentialed, knowledgable, and had a great rapport with the dancers. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Rachel is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and an excellent listener. I can’t recommend her services enough for both dancers and non-dancers alike. She is particularly skilled at un-doing negative messaging due to the often conflicting information coming from toxic diet culture.

Fantastic experience: First of all I am beyond happy, excited and grateful that I found To The Pointe Nutrition on social media! Way too many people nowadays are restricting themselves because they are lacking knowledge in nutrition, and quality articles as well as experts as Rachel is are very, very important! Because today there are a lot of ˝experts˝ and anyone can easily find the wrong one, which can make their situation worse. So, for everyone please do a research, and if you find this review, then you are on the right place, because Rachel is absolutely amazing and she is an expert in this field. Thank you so much Rachel for everything that you are doing. With kind regards, Claudia

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend To The Pointe Nutrition to any dancer or aspiring dancer. I am retired and just dance as my personal passion now but I find Rachel's vlogs, posts, resources, and courses helpful. I wish this existed when I was younger. Nutrition is so important to our health and to our performance as dancers. If you are a dancer I think this would be great for you!!

Fantastic experience: Learning about body image, nutrition and mental health! Amazing resources! Rachel is so sweet and makes a big effort on making knowledge accesible.

Fantastic experience: Rachel is absolutely amazing! Not only has she taught me so much, I now know about nutrition. She is patient, compassionate, understanding, non-judgemental. Helping rebuild the confidence we all need around food and our bodies.

Fantastic experience: Rachel has done a phenomenal job breaking down old expectations, rules, and harmful culture surrounding dancers and their relationships with food. Her content has helped me immensely with my own experience as a dancer. I truly believe this type of insight and knowledge should be taught at every college program, neighborhood studio, and professional company. Rachel is paving the way for the future of healthy dancers and I’m very grateful!

Fantastic experience: To The Pointe Nutrition is so amazing! I want everyone to know that this is not only for dancers, anyone can learn from Rachel. She gives great advice, recipes, and encouragement. You'll be inspired by food, and get help in healing your relationship with food. You'll learn so much about nutrition that you never knew, and will be able to apply it to your everyday life. Check out the website, or follow on Instagram or Facebook :)

Fantastic experience: Rachel Fine has a wealth of knowledge on nutrition for dancers. I took her nutrition course and have learned so much from her.

Fantastic experience: Rachel is absolutely incredible. I cannot thank her enough for her amazing health guides, they have truly helped me build more sustainable nutritional habits! I fully trust all of her resources, and feel better than ever about my body, mind, and my dance performances.

Fantastic experience: She gives us really improtant information to make i¡us stronger and promote nutrition with a science base behind. LITERALLY saving our lifes.

Fantastic experience: I’ve learned so much from Rachel and not just about nutrition and what foods are most beneficial for energy (for dance class, workout etc) and recovery. With her wealth of knowledge, resourceful tips and outstanding advice I have finally attained food freedom. I’ve been a yo yo dieter and suffered from disordered eating since I was in elementary school. My weight went up and down like waves in the ocean. I starved and I binged. I felt in control and out of control. I felt imprisoned and was a slave to diet culture. Now—finally I am free thanks to Rachel! I no longer place a moral value on food and I don’t suffer from horrible cravings anymore (that used to result in binge eating). I am finally at peace with food and my body. No more disordered eating. No more starving and over eating. For the first time in -ever- I can actually have comfort food in my place without them singing a siren song to me from the kitchen to come and eat them lol. And my body is where it should be naturally and -ironically- what I sought so hard for with excessive dieting. All those years of misery from restrictive eating have proven to be a waste and I wish I had met Rachel 2 decades ago. Now—I’m finally happy! Thank you Rachel!

Fantastic experience: I met Rachel several years ago at Steps on Broadway where she was doing these workshops and she had everything I needed to grow as a healthy dancer. Now she is even more brilliant. Rachel is knowledgeable, non judgmental and always gives her groups a chance to ask questions and engage in the conversation. I highly recommend The Pointe Nutrition for any dancers, teachers, parents and basically any moving athlete. She gives us the tools we need to make good judgement and habits in our daily lives. I can't wait to have her back again for more workshops. Thank you Rachel for all you do.

Fantastic experience: Rachel's expertise in diet and nutrition, coupled with her experience as a dancer, make her the perfect resource for any dancer hoping to develop a healthy relationship with food that will sustain their dancing, prevent injury, and be sustainable. She is a tremendous resource. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Rachel is absolutely amazing! Not only has she taught me everything I now know about nutrition but she is THE BEST to work with; patient, compassionate, understanding, non-judgemental… she understands how traumatized the mind of a dancer’s can be and works to rebuild the confidence we all need around food and our bodies. Although I don’t work with her regularly anymore, I always feel comfortable reaching out to her when I need to and she is always there for me!

Fantastic experience: I did the dance nutrition summer intensive with Rachel and it was an unforgettable experience!!❤️ A highly recommended program!! It focuses on every aspect not just nutrition (e.g. mental health and injury prevention)!

Fantastic experience: This was my second year taking the healthy summer dance intensive!! It was such a wonderful experience. Rachel is so friendly, gives great advice on nutrition and is just welcoming to everyone. Masterclasses were amazing; so many great opportunities to learn and interact with professional dancers! Can’t wait to do it again next year!!

Fantastic experience: Rachel is full of the most valued information for dancers like me. Not only this, but she CARES so deeply!! She was once in a place like we all are: young, vulnerable, insecure. Rachel not only guides us in healthy habits, but she validates everything we feel during the process.

Fantastic experience: Rachel's Nurturing The Healthy Dancer workshop was a phenomenal addition to the Kennedy Center Dance Lab. Rachel's presentation was engaging, informational, and hugely encouraging for our high school students looking to expand their knowledge on balanced eating. Rachel answered each student's questions with grace and shares our program's mission of creating a body-positive space. We look forward to including her workshop as a staple component to our program in years to come, and would highly encourage other programs to do the same!

Fantastic experience: Working with Rachel has increasingly changed the way I use food in my life to support my dancing and body. Not only has she helped me to navigate my personal health needs, she has also guided me in changing the way I approach fueling myself. In implementing what we have worked on, I am noticing a huge difference in my strength and endurance as a professional dancer. I am able to sustain my demanding schedule, get a full night's rest, and also let go of overwhelming patterns of fear and guilt surrounding food. I feel more confident in knowing that I have the tools I need help me optimize my performance and well-being. This is all thanks to Rachel! Recently, I have made significant progress in how I approach body image and food. In the past I would often spiral into very negative and unhealthy habits in regards to controlling what I ate. But I have been able to recognize that fueling my body is essential because what matters on stage is my dancing, not what I look like. If I don’t have strength or energy to make it through a show then what do I have? It wouldn’t matter what I look like if I can’t even dance! So instead I choose to adequately nourish and fuel my body and therefore I can show up and give the audience my fullest and purest energy. This has been a great accomplishment for me. Thanks again Rachel for everything you do! I'm looking forward my continued progress on this journey!

Fantastic experience: Rachel Fine redefines what a healthy diet should consist of through her unique approach of looking at food as fuel. It’s so refreshing to meet a nutritionist who encourages dancers to feel great about eating and enjoying all kinds of food, even the foods that are considered to be “not so healthy”. Thank you Rachel for an informative fantastic workshop!

Fantastic experience: Rachel recently led a Nutrition Workshop remotely with dancers at my studio and was phenomenal! She shared important and relevant information with them in a way they could immediately apply to their own lives. She was easy to work with and the workshop was incredibly beneficial!

Fantastic experience: Working with Rachel has been life changing for me in recovery from my eating disorder and in healing my relationship with food!

Fantastic experience: Great and amazing nutrition guide and tips for Ballet teachers and dancers! Thanks for everything Rachel

Fantastic experience: Working with Rachel has been amazing! I had so many challenges surrounding food thanks to diet culture and my experience with being a ballerina. I've achieved food freedom in ways I never thought was possible.

Fantastic experience: I have been dancing all of my life, and I had never noticed how damaged my relationship with food was until I stumbled across Rachel's Instagram page. I have never struggled with a clinically diagnosable eating disorder, so I assumed that I was alright. Never did I know how twisted and complicated food was to me until Rachel pointed it out. When I enrolled in her Healthy Dancer Elite Program, I was finally able to identify and break some of the harsh rules I had set for myself. Giving me a comprehensive care plan, Rachel helped me slowly heal my disordered eating. Her program left me much more knowledgeable and capable of making conscious decisions to nourish my body and help me be the best dancer I can be. I am so grateful for her expertise!

Fantastic experience: I completed the Healthy Dancer Summer Intensive with Rachel and she is such an incredible resource for all dancers! Rachel did an amazing job providing super detailed workbooks, informative nutrition sessions, and an incredible lineup of dance-related workshops and masterclasses! I was seriously blown away with how much content was packed into the summer intensive and the best part is the flexibility of doing it all virtually! I came away feeling more confident in my abilities to properly fuel my body for dance classes (and life in general!)

Fantastic experience: Choosing to do the Healthy Dancer Summer Intensive is one of the best decisions I've made. It was a leap of faith, after being stuck so long in "fake recovery" from my ED i knew that going into post secondary Ballet education i needed to get a handle on my physical and mental health and Rachel has given me so many resources and exercises to use along this journey. It has helped me tremendously so far, and I feel so empowered to keep doing the work. The masterclasses included in the intensive were also fantastic, learning about conditioning, injuries, auditions etc from professionals in each given topic was so valuable and I'm so grateful for that experience all compiled into an amazing 6 weeks. Thank you Rachel!
