Luxia Coaching

Fantastic experience: Rachel truly knows what it's like for busy, high performing women to need quick, no-nonsense support that treats the whole person. She was able to help me optimize my health coupled with her coaching support helped me navigate a pivotal point in my life both personally and in my business and I can honestly say I have never felt better - both physically and mentally. I feel like with just a few simple adjustments to my nutrition and routines I was finally able to lose my stubborn "covid 19" and have the energy to meet the demands of each day -- with gas in the tank to fully enjoy my life. If you want a coach who deeply cares about your whole-person transformation into who you are truly capable of being, Rachel is the coach for you. Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: I just completed the SHED and can highly recommend the program to anyone looking to change not just their eating habits, but also their mindset about health and life. The lab work and resulting individualized protocol is an incredible stand-out feature of this program. The SHED is well structured and I felt completely supported throughout the entire process. I lost 10 pounds and am still on a journey downward with what I learned in the program. Rachel is an amazing coach. She is real, and directly and competently addresses the real issues inherent in a successful weight loss journey. She is also a delight to work with. Sign up - you will not be disappointed!!!

Fantastic experience: Rachel and her team are amazing!! This program and way of addressing mind and body has been transformative on the path towards healing!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a personalized program to help you reach your weight loss and health goals, I highly recommend the SHED. I can now fit into clothes from 10 years ago and have adapted a healthier way of eating that works for my lifestyle. The recipes, videos, lab work and coaching calls make this program stand out from all the others.

Fantastic experience: Rachel is amazing! I loved the weekly zoom meetings, she came prepared to engage in a thoughtful manner, creating space for each member to participate. She was also straight forward with problem solving and cutting through excuses. I enjoyed my weight loss and inches lost during the slim program. More importantly the skills to prioritize my life have stuck with me. I participated in January of 2023 and did the food allergy testing - this piece of scientific information has helped me make good choices over the past 7 months. I'd love to participate in the 90 day course when my schedule can better accommodate the meetings and weekly works.

Fantastic experience: My life (health, body, head) is better because of Rachel and Whole Woman Health. I trust Rachel implicitly. I first became a client of Rachel’s ~10 years ago, and have saught her coaching at different points in my life for different reasons. Most recently, she has helped me reclaim myself after having my children, inclusive of uncovering and treating health challenges my Western doctors would not have thought to test for and learning to eat more intuitively in a way that fuels and heals my body. Her approach is unique - data led and informed by her practical and life’s experience in this field. She’ll tell you want you need to hear because she is deeply invested in your success. I will forever be grateful to Rachel.

Fantastic experience: Rachel is an incredible nutritionist to work with....and I AM a nutritionist, myself! With her laser focused approach to isolating the exact hormonal issues I had been experiencing (which no Dr. had been able to do) and a simple, doable customized plan for how to rebalance, I am feeling better than ever. Lost the stubborn weight that wouldn't budge before, sleeping better, way more focused in my workday and energy is through the roof. SO grateful for Rachel and her program! Truly the best investment I have made in a very long time.

Fantastic experience: The SHED program has given me tangible insight into how my body is functioning and the tools and protocols I need to finally make the true changes necessary to live the life I’ve always imagined. The information, inspiration and transformation is real, and I’m so grateful to have found Rachel and the SHED!

Fantastic experience: Having Rachel and team work with me on nutrition and lifestyle coaching has been an awakening. The coaching has helped me see my thought processes and begin to understand how the food decisions I make are impacted by my thoughts.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Rachel for about a year and a half. In that time I've learned so much about how to take care of myself, not just with food but also mentally and physically. Rachel will coach and dig (in a good way) to find out what you need and do everything she can to get you there. The relationships you form help create an entire support team. I'm so grateful I found Rachel and her team. It's not easy to change years or even a lifetime's worth of thinking and habits, but Rachel can help get you to where you want and deserve to be.

Fantastic experience: Rachel and her team are just wonderful - they take a comprehensive approach which leads to long lasting, meaningful results! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Fantastic experience: I love Whole Women Health and trust them, not only with my own health but also with the health of my patients. Sometimes the patients I see at my Chiropractic Clinic may need a deeper level of assistance with their nutrition or lifestyle coaching from Rachel or Sheila. Rachel and the Whole Women Health team have an abundance of knowledge around proven wellness practices, mindset, and nutrition and I know I’ll be held accountable, and gently pushed all within a safe, encouraging environment.

Fantastic experience: Rachel and Whole Woman Health have changed the way that I approach how I eat. I went from being fatigued with significant joint pain to understanding what I should eat for my body based on a scientific method. Her method is smart and holistic. I am so happy I did the Shed Program.

Fantastic experience: Very different from any program I have done in the past before. I loved every moment of it, the friendships you form, and the results you get. Highly recommend Rachel as your coach!

Fantastic experience: Rachel and The SHED Program have improved my life drastically. Rachel has spent the past four months helping me to get to the root causes of why I feel exhausted, frustrated, and burned out, not only physically but also emotionally. She uses lab work and her nutritional expertise to help build a plan to fuel your body in the right ways to help you reach your goals. Rachel gets to know her clients and spends time each week coaching us through the ins and outs of life. She has helped me to get out of my own way through coaching and calling me out on my excuses. I would highly recommend Rachel, The SHED, and Whole Woman Health.

Fantastic experience: Working with Rachel was really important for me. I was able to uncover a host of (treatable) issues, that have empowered me to create holistic changes that are in the best interest of my individual body. The individual attention was critical for me to make the right lifestyle changes.

Fantastic experience: After completing the 3 month SHED program with Rachel as our coach, all I can say is ‘wow’. What an eye opening, growth encouraging, inspiring process the past 3 months have been. Despite working out with a trainer and doing intense cardio workouts, I could NOT lose weight the past 5-6 years. Talk about frustrating. In comes SHED and it has changed my life. I have lost over 20 lbs and over 26 inches. The combination of nutritional support, diagnostic testing and weekly coaching sessions was a magic formula for me. Especially the coaching. Rachel is not just a nutrition coach, but she facilitates life coaching, she provides a complete rearrangement of any mindset or emotional auto-response that we have been mired in preventing us from reaching our goals. It is hard work, but it is worth it and you come away with so much more self-awareness, hope and tools/skills to make your best life. Really, you deserve to put yourself first and to take a leap into this amazing program.

Fantastic experience: My experience doing the SHED was so much more than just weight loss. It was a complete mindset change. Rachel does an amazing job of combining body and mind science to find structure in our crazy schedules. She’s unapologetic about her passion to make you successful. Working with a group of women with similar struggles let’s you know you are not alone! If you can, do her program.

Fantastic experience: I found Rachel and Whole Woman Health + SHED at a hard time in my life. I had just gained a bunch of weight from inactivity and depression during COVID and was recently diagnosed with a chronic illness. When everything felt out of control, this program and Rachel helped me gain back control and empowered me to take my health and happiness into my own hands. Thank you Rachel and team!

Fantastic experience: I started working with Radhika in October and she is amazing! I was battling bad eating habits, overworked and not sleeping well overall. She had ideas for a new routine, nutrition advise and supplements and I feel so much better! THANK YOU Radhika for everything you do!

Fantastic experience: This program was amazing! I thought the supplements were great support. The amount of support was exactly what I needed and there was a great amount of content to help with meal ideas. Rachel made me feel motivated and always had great supportive advice during the challenging moments. Thank you Rachel for everything you know, willing to share, and positive energy!

Fantastic experience: I started working with Radhika last year after getting some concerning yearly blood work back. Radhika was able to suggest supplements, nutrition changes and overall life changes to help me get my health back on track. She has been super supportive and such a big help in getting testing done, finding strategies that work for me and my life style and helping to provide guidance overall.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been dealing with digestive disorders for the past several years and was feeling hopeless after being wrongfully diagnosed and unsuccessfully treated by several other practitioners, doctors, and nutritionists. Then I met Rachel! She took a completely different approach than everyone else I ever met with. She first spent time learning about how I was feeling and what I was dealing with. She then suggested comprehensive testing that got to the root cause of my issues without extraneous time nor effort. Finally, she worked with me over time to further hone into my specific biochemistry, the supplements that would support my overall health, and provided me the tools for self-regulation to ensure I didn’t fall back into sabotaging behavior that got me unwell in the first place. It has been 2 years since I wrote my first review and now feel I need to update it. I did fall back and sabotaged my eating behaviors. I have done 2 SHED programs since my first review and always felt so amazing after I finished. I lost weight, I had more energy and just felt healthier...but I went back to those old habits which then caused digestive disorders. My last SHED was 2 months ago and this time I listened to my body when I noticed issues after I reintroduced dairy products. I immediately quit dairy and have not had any since. I feel so much, better, but the additional bonus is that I lost 8 pounds and have maintained that healthier weight. It was initially difficult, being a Wisconsin native, but Rachel gave me many dairy free product suggestions that have been great substitutes. I love doing the SHED. Each time I learn new things and find it easier to maintain those healthy habits. C. Clausen

Fantastic experience: Rachel is the best! She helped me sort out my nutrition needs for several long-distance races, tackling problems as they inevitable pop up during intense training. More importantly, she helped me solve an auto-immune issue that had been plaguing me my entire life. Now, my life is wonderful with only a few changes to my diet. Rachel is a life changer, so quit reading reviews and give her a call!!!

Fantastic experience: Rachel has a great program that not only helps you set and achieve your goals, but educates you on nutrition, provides peer support, and answers questions. She is also a motivating coach who truly cares about her clients.

Fantastic experience: I have spent the past month doing Rachel's Shed program. It has been an interesting journey. This is not a typical detox program. The weekly coaching calls were enlightening and extremely thought provoking. The recipes were delicious and I never felt deprived despite pausing several foods. I feel better and am looking forward to learning more.

Fantastic experience: Want the most caring and constructive kick in the tush you'll ever receive? Look no further than coaching with Rachel. She will partner with you in every way to dig deep and uncover what you really want out of life and devise realistic ways to support you in achieving it. I began my coaching journey with Rachel generally pleased with my life, feeling a little "meh," and wanting to do something about it, but not really knowing where to start. Rachel met me where I was with compassion, and supported me in rewriting the scripts and thought patterns I'd come to believe about myself. In working with Rachel, I've discovered goals and dreams I was unable to recognize when I was 'buying into' the negative thoughts and assumptions I ascribed to myself. Most importantly, Rachel teaches the act of self-accountability. She's no savior here, folks; she makes darn sure that I recognize the results I see in front of me are in direct correlation with the work I've done, and will continue to do. Best of all, she does this with her signature humor and no-nonsense delivery, living the lesson that we should never work so hard that we lose the ability to laugh at ourselves while discovering who we're truly meant to be. She is a true partner in life, and working with her has easily been the best decision I've made when I chose to begin actively investing in myself.

Fantastic experience: There are no words to express how grateful I am to Rachel. She helped me figure out quickly what was going on and implemented a plan. I've never felt better!

Fantastic experience: After suffering for many years from an autoimmune disease, I reached out to Kimsey. Kimsey is extremely knowledgeable, professional and supportive. With her help and expertise, I am now symptom free and feel fantastic. I highly recommend Kimsey and everyone at Nutrition Works.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Havilande Lodge since January 2020 and absolutely love every experience I have had with her. Not only do we discuss the nutrition habits in my life but we dig deeper to the emotional and learned behaviors behind it to truly change behavior at the very root. I cannot recommend Havilande enough. She holds you accountable, asks the hard questions and challenges you all while holding you close to her heart. She celebrates your wins with you with a genuine smile and warmth. Her knowledge is extensive and impressive. I have learned an enormous amount from her and am excited for my journey forward with Havilande as my guide.

Fantastic experience: For the last several years I had high uric acid levels and suffered from gout. Last year I had to stop taking my gout medicine due to an allergic reaction. I decided to sign up for a complimentary session with NutritionWorks where I met Havilande Lodge. She has been extremely helpful, communicates well and is passionate about helping her patients improve their health. Under her care the last 3 months, my energy levels have improved, I am sleeping better and have lost approximately 20 lbs. In addition, my uric acid level is trending down and my cholesterol test results are the best I have had in my years of testing. My investment with NutrionionWorks and Havilande has been well worth the time and cost.

Fantastic experience: Working with Radhika has been life-changing. Her support has improved my health issues and completely shifted my mindset. As someone who basically tried everything to cope with my confusing health issues - I found myself feeling exhausted and alone. I reached out to Radhika in hopes of finding relief (even though I wasn’t sure what that meant). After just a few weeks of working with Radhika, I was surprised at the improvement in my headaches, digestion and mood. She has helped me get clear on food choices (something that felt overwhelming on my own). She always meets me where I’m at, so I feel comfortable sharing. She has a way of helping me integrate practices and changes that will last long-term. I feel empowered and hopeful for the first time in years. Working with Radhika was truly the best decision. If anyone is on the fence about reaching out to her and NutritionWorks - it’s 100% worth it. Radhika has helped me manage my tricky symptoms. My day-to-day mood has improved, I have more energy… I just feel better! She’s an inspiring person, and her support has been a game-changer for my health.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Kimsey Self at NutritionWorks for nearly 8 months hand can say with ease that it has been the most rewarding journey of my life. This time last year, I was constantly exhausted and inflamed. I would gain or lose 5 pounds in a day from bloating and inflammation due to foods I was eating. My "safe" foods list had shrunk to basically the same three meals each day. My relationship with food had degraded into a space of fear, uncertainty, and avoidance. From the start, Kimsey patiently listened to all of my complaints and asked insightful questions. She explained, extensively(!), the science behind what I was feeling and helped me understand WHY it was happening. She helped me define and re-define my goals along the way and also worked according to my budget and timeline. Even more importantly, we have made space to dig into the psychological factors that co-inform my habits along the way. Through labwork and testing, we found out exactly which foods I am sensitive to and discovered two hidden viral infections! After treating those issues, we're now working on restoring my overall gut health before moving into maintenance mode. Initially, I believed my goal was to lose a few pounds and address my inflammation, but this process has given me so much more. My weight has stayed the same... but I've lost innumerable inches. I have more energy. I'm stronger than I've ever been in my life and my nutrition involves a whole bunch of delicious, healthy foods. VARIETY, my old friend, how I had missed you <3. My skin is glowing and I just can't stop smiling. Thank you Kimsey! For everything you've helped me through and for everything I'm sure you'll help me through in the future <3. Cannot recommend highly enough, I'll just say: there's a reason my mom, sister, and family friends are all clients now, too. :)

Fantastic experience: I did the January 2020 Shed program and LOVED it! It was easy to follow, didn’t feel restrictive even though I had great results and the coaching was insightful and thought provoking! I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get a fresh start or reboot

Fantastic experience: I was connected with Havilande Lodge at NutritionWorks due to a medical procedure which changed the way I was able to eat and process foods. While skeptical, I decided to go see her and see if she was able to provide some guidance. Not only was she able to change the way that I eat and start me down the path of making better food choices without feeling like I was sacrificing my love of food, but she also was able to help me with my mindset around working out and living a more active lifestyle. I am forever grateful for her support and guidance over the last four months. If you are even considering making a change or know you need to make a change but don't know how, contact Havilande.

Fantastic experience: First off Havilande is AMAZING. We initially met with her and went over our test results back in December and wow did we learn a lot. Not only about nutritional benefits, intolerances and deficiencies but we also dug deep to discover what was happening to our bodies and and the importance of mental awareness that could be causing internal issues. From then on we shifted our entire mindset. Havilande is so much more than a nutritionist but someone that is determined to help get us back to where our bodies need to be not only with food, but tips to manage stress, relationships and so much more. We are so thankful to have met Havilande and highly recommend her practice to EVERYONE.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Havilande for about 2 months and my life has changed. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last year and was on a number of medications and since working with her i have been able to come off all but one by changing my diet and my attitude. Being able to combine life, fitness and nutrition into one person has been just what i have needed to start making positive changes. Very grateful.

Fantastic experience: Rachel is amazing! The work with her is beyond nutrition - it is thinking about your lifestyle and learning self-care. The steps that we have taken to improve my nutrition have been easier than I imagined and incremental so that I could take them on. Her connections to resources to support your journey are equally life changing and overall, she is just a lovely human. One of the best investments in myself I have made in a long time.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are phenomenal, and they go so far beyond nutrition to really help you make the changes you want to make to achieve your goals. I worked with Jolene for several months to understand myself and what my barriers and success factors truly were. Then I recently completed the 30 day SHED program with Rachel, and while my weight loss results exceeded my expectations, it's the changes in my thought processes that are allowing me to continue to make progress. I have tried everything under the sun in the past (nutritionally speaking), but the answer is really all in your own brain and Rachel helped me conquer that.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Rachel for a few months and I have gained a tremendous amount of insight in self awareness and creating goals for myself personally and professionally. Rachel is realistic in goal setting and holds you accountable as a mentor and a friend. I absolutely adore Rachel and will continue to use her as her support is endless. She is extremely knowledgeable with her practice and will go above and beyond for her clients. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve themselves in all aspects of health and wellness as well as career goals!

Fantastic experience: I was looking to get my life under control at a time when everything felt very much out of control. Since "everything" included myself, my exercise, and my nutrition I sought out a place that could help me with all of those areas of my life. Nutrition Works exceeded my expectations and I love working with Rachel. She has changed my thought process which has changed my life. All of the coaches I have interacted with at Nutrition Works are top notch and care very much for their clientele. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Rachel.

Fantastic experience: Radhika is the best! I came to her with many health concerns and very little confidence that I could change things in my life. I was at my breaking point and knew I needed professional help to turn my life around to be around for my family. She met with me to discuss all my concerns/needs and we started working together. She told me that something "magical" happens when people do this work, and she was 100% right! She helped me find resources to change my diet and my attitude. She was always patient with me when I asked the same question more than once and was ALWAYS available via text or email. Even when I feel like stopping the work or have had a few bad days, she is there to pick me up and remind me of why I am doing the work. She is a nutritionist, a life coach, a counselor and an amazing vault of information to help on this journey. I can't say enough good things about her and the work we have done together.

Fantastic experience: Rachel was everything I didn't know I needed. I reached out to her from a recommendation from a close friend. I know that a more holistic approach to weight loss was what I needed after years of feeling like doctors were dismissive of my concerns, I needed someone who was compassionate and would be willing to look at the root causes of what was going on with me. Rachel is incredible. The combination of life coaching and nutrition was amazing. I would highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Rachel for almost a year for personal training and nutrition coaching, and she is AWESOME! She really has helped me build muscle and transform my body. She always asks me how I am feeling, and is never pushy if I am having an off day. She knows when to push and when to back off. She has a ton of knowledge on how the human body works and can guide you in the right direction depending on what your goals are. I cannot recommend her and her team enough. Thank you Rachel for being a coach, friend and at times a therapist!

Fantastic experience: If you are ready to work on yourself and put in the work, this is the best place in Denver to do that.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Leslie now for a few months and getting my nutrition on track and have only seen steady improvements. She is great at breaking down my habits and helping me to build new, more sustainable ones. Furthermore, he knowledge of health and nutrition is endless, which allows me to find many different alternatives to unhealthy tasty foods I previously craved. Any time I hit a road block, Leslie is there to help me get past it.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough great things about Rachel and NutritionWorks. She recently guided me through a 28 day nutrition program that had me feeling AMAZING! I not only lost weight, but I learned new techniques to better manage my health long term. Thank you, Rachel!!

Fantastic experience: Are you serious about changing your state of health ? Are you ready to hold yourself accountable for all actions in your life ? Then this place is for you. I have so much love for the ladies here, they really make me feel like I am apart of a winning team. It is quite clear that they have my best interest in mind and they won’t stop until I achieve my mental/physical goals. Thank you guys again for everything you do ! -Jesse L

Fantastic experience: I have been so pleased with my experience at NutritionWorks! Jaci and I have been working together for about seven weeks and I've had great results with weight loss and overall knowledge about my eating habits. I feel much more confident about my nutrition choices after only a few sessions with Jaci. I've gotten a lot of recipes and literature that has assisted me with grocery shopping, eating out, etc. I'm so thankful I found NutritionWorks! Thank you to Jaci, Rachel, and the team!!

Fantastic experience: The NutritionWorks team is fantastic to work with. They are intelligent, skilled and knowledgeable, and create a warm, healing environment for their clients. If you are looking for experts in nutritional approaches to health challenges and support through health coaching to make lasting change, look no further than NutritionWorks!

Fantastic experience: I've been struggling with thyroid issues and really just getting my overall health & fitness back in check. I've been working with Jaci for several months and have had a lot of success. Still have a long way to go, but I feel super supported. The relationship with the therapists seems closer than a typical nutritionist. It's not abnormal for me to send a text update to Jaci about my progress between meetings - and I really feel like she celebrates me on a personal level, like a friend. I highly recommend giving NutritionWorks a try!

Fantastic experience: I came into my health journey at my wits end with no hope and failing health. I am a Type 2 diabetic and had a high sugar level readings of over 200's and weighed 237lbs. Since working with Jaci at Nutrition Works I now have my sugar levels under control between 90-120! I am now off my insulin! I currently weigh 220lbs! More importantly, I have a quality of life that I never thought possible because I now have the education and confidence to make smart food choices in any environment. It has not been an easy journey for me as I am stubborn but with Jaci's patience and support what I have now is HOPE! That is priceless!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend NutritionWorks! Not only is Rachel extremely knowledgeable, but she is a great listener, and takes a holistic approach. If you are considering seeing a nutritionist that truly cares about and understands the big picture, look no further!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a nutritionist that wanted to be engaged with my success plan, not just give me a food plan and a website to keep me accountable. I was dealing with stomach issues for 5 years and finally decided to get help. My primary doctor couldn't diagnose my issue and I didn't want to go to a stomach doctor to just have tests run. I searched for a caring nutritionist that looked past just physical symptoms. I did a through search through Yelp and Google and found Nutritionworks. I was originally drawn to their website and decided to give it a shot. I met with Rachel initially and I love her philosophy on women's self care. After an amazing 1 hour initial consultation, she set me up with Joleen. Joleen has an amazing approach to investigating issues and really listening to what was causing me issues. She has a great knowledge of health issues and was able to start me on a success path. She respected my budget as well as my wants to stay a more natural route rather than take antibiotics. I'm so happy with my choice and recommend this to anyone who is looking for a more involved and engaged nutritionist.

Fantastic experience: Rachel and her team do fantastic work! They focus on helping you as an individual with specific needs. I have worked with Rachel for nutrition and personal training. The long-term results and tools she helps to build are effective. They focus on empowering you to make the best decision for your goals, and make working together exciting and fun.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Jaci enough. I started going to her to optimize my diet for sports performance in activities like CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting, and trail running. She's helped me achieve my goals every step of the way and provided me with the resources and practically 24/7 support I need should any questions arise. Her view of nutrition is holistic and she really focuses on what I need to reach success. While I've still got awhile before I reach all of my goals, I'm excited to continue working with and learning from her.

Fantastic experience: Rachel welcomes her clients with her brilliant smile and open heart. Her coaching addresses the challenges that "block" our emotional AND physical health. The group sessions are valuable - working through our own questions by first sharing and receiving feedback and then listening to and learning from others' experiences.

Fantastic experience: I've just finished a 12 week Entrepreneur group coaching with Rachel, and am encouraging anyone who is in the beginnings of their business, have been in business for awhile, or are just looking for change, to sign up for this dynamic opportunity. Between Rachels approach and the group interaction, I left each weeks meeting feeling inspired and amped up for change! Rachel is sincere and honest in her coaching, she will support and encourage you to be the more you want to be!

Fantastic experience: Rachel's expertise, patience, charisma, and personal experience are what set her services apart from other nutritionists and life coaches I've worked with in the past. Rather than adhering to a rigid, one-size-fits-all model, Rachel approaches her clients with genuine empathy, and offers regimens tailored to fit each individual's needs. I've learned so much in the short time I've worked with her - she's more than surpassed my expectations and I can't recommend her highly enough! If you're looking to improve your fitness, gain a deeper understanding of nutrition, or even just smile more, give this talented woman a call! She will change your life for the better.

Fantastic experience: In January of 2017 my husband and I met Rachel. In just three months, with her guidance, we have made monumental changes in our daily lives. It was my husband’s suggestion to finally invest in ourselves. He was ready to learn more about nutrition and had always enjoyed working out. Reluctantly, I agreed. I, on the other hand, had tried every diet under the sun; for at least two weeks. I always felt deprived and would give up. I thought I knew what I was “supposed” to eat, I just didn’t do it. I hated exercise and considered a long walk around the neighborhood good enough. From the beginning, Rachel went to great lengths to get to know each of us. She analyzed blood work and recommended supplements and nutritional changes. She helped me plan nutritious, delicious meals for my family, that never left me feeling deprived. She tailored training sessions to support our needs, both physically and mentally, that particular day. My husband and I have each learned how to strengthen and protect our bodies through her ever changing workouts. Throughout our journey, what has helped me the most, is Rachel’s ability to guide me as I figure out the “why.” Why wasn’t I eating the right things? Why did I hate exercising so much? Why was I putting my well being so low on my priority list. Her life coaching skills came from a place that showed me she was not only well-trained, but that she honestly cared. I could go on and on about the quality of Rachel’s work. Not only do I love the pounds and inches I have lost, but I love the fact that I have found exercise that I absolutely love doing. Everything from climbing stairs at Red Rocks, attending every kind of yoga class I can find, TRX training and even running! One of my favorite changes is my morning ritual. Everyday I wake up at 5:00am to practice yoga, meditate, journal and read. I take care of myself before my family wakes up each day and have never felt better. At this point, my husband and I are continuing training sessions with Rachel, eating clean, and pursuing our education on the art of well-being. No matter what kind of changes you are wanting to make in your life, Rachel will tailor your program accordingly. My advice would be to trust that you are in very capable hands. So... jump in with both feet and absorb as much of her knowledge and spirit as you can! Thank you Rachel for teaching me to “get out of my own way!" Cody A.
