Philosophy

Rachel is passionate about guiding individuals as they build a healthy relationship with food. She truly believes there are no good foods or bad foods and that ALL foods can fit within the parameters of a healthy diet. By applying the principles of BALANCE, VARIETY, and MODERATION, Rachel can help you “reject the diet mentality” and reclaim your right to food and body satisfaction.
