The Empowered Body Program:
🌿
Know how your body works so you can care and advocate for it.
🌿
Speak the language of your body and know what it’s telling you, so you know when to rest, stretch, say no, or reach out for help.
🌿
Have a positive relationship with exercise, free of guilt and shame!
🌿
Move your body freely and joyfully.
🌿
Maintain a movement and mobility routine you love, that is customized to your unique body.
🌿
Feel confident that your body can help you do what you want to do, whether that’s run a marathon or take your first Yoga class, even if other experts have said you can’t.
🌿
Be strong, flexible, and intuitively connected to your body, no matter what your history with exercise.
You’ve always been an active person, but as the years go by (as you advance in your career, your family grows, and your lifestyle changes) you realize that you’ve slowly lost connection with your body. It doesn’t do the things you want it to do anymore and you’re afraid that your “old self” is out of reach. Your body feels stiff, like it’s stuck in a rut.
You’ve always wanted to be an “exercise person”, but let’s be honest, exercise can be hard and boring. You know you’re supposed to exercise to stay healthy and to support the things you do like garden, lift your kids, and carry the groceries but you feel frustrated with yourself because you can’t stick to the exercise programs.

Â
Your body and your mind don’t seem to be on the same page. You want to move more and with no pain, but your body isn’t cooperating. Maybe you’re recovering from surgery or you have chronic pain, fibromyalgia, or arthritis. Traditional exercise programs just don’t work for you. You feel like no one understands your body and you don’t know how to move without setting yourself back.

“I would not be the active person I am today without Rachel’s endless passion for her clients and their health journeys.”
“When I started working with Rachel, I was suffering from chronic illness and pain. Rachel’s program helped me overcome the mental and physical barriers that were holding me back from a healthier life. Thanks to Rachel’s depth of knowledge of the human body and her understanding of the mind-body connection, I have gained back so many of the activities I previously enjoyed before my illness and continue to see positive results from her teachings.”

You might be asking…
Who will be supporting me through this program?
I grew up moving all the time – martial arts, gymnastics, and dance helped me find myself and got me through hard times. I also grew up alongside my sister, who has muscular dystrophy and whose capacity for movement is extremely limited. I learned how empowering movement can be and how hard life can be without it. I developed a passion for using movement to facilitate healing, and chased this passion through a degree in Exercise Science and a career as a personal trainer, mobility specialist, and mindfulness teacher.
I understand that not everybody has a happy relationship with movement, and that there are many obstacles to feeling comfortable in your body. I’ve created the Empowered Body Program to help you find the sense of home within your body that has been so life-sustaining for me. This program draws on everything I’ve learned in my formal education, my professional experience, my lived experience, and my own movement practice to share what I’ve discovered in an approachable way that you can apply to your life.
Movement is how I learn. How I communicate. How I understand myself. How I express myself. And I can’t wait to see what it unlocks in you.
It’s time for you to feel comfortable in your body and confident with your movement!
This is why I created the Empowered Body Program!
“I was nervous to work on my body because of past experience with professionals who body-shamed me”
“Rachel’s Empowered Body Program helped me feel more connected to and proud of my body’s capabilities. I struggle with mobility, lower back/hip pain from surgery, and shoulder pain from working hunched over a laptop. I was nervous to work on my body because of past experience with professionals who body-shamed me and left me feeling scared to move. Rachel’s approach is empowering, accommodating to my body’s capabilities, and sooo encouraging! I have less pain, am moving my body more, and feel better about my relationship with my body!”
– Jenesis L. –
“The program gives you core ideas that you can then apply to different and changing circumstances.”
“Rachel’s program is like a great piece of literature, you can pick it up at different points in your life and you’ll relate to it in a different way and find nuggets of ideas that you didn’t see before. The program gives you core ideas that you can then apply to different and changing circumstances. It’s a rich, holistic approach. This is not a one trick pony.”

“Until now, I had just given up.”
“I am 61 years old with rheumatoid arthritis. I had been working with Rachel years before she launched Mindful Movement and Living. I thought she was good before, but she is even better now. Through a commitment to mindfulness and introspection, she has not only examined her own values but the common values of the fitness industry. I’ve taken most of Rachel’s courses, most recently The Empowered Body Program. In it, Rachel encourages her students to be as introspective as she has been and become comfortable with vulnerability. Her lectures are like taking a college course with a really good college professor: knowledgeable, personable, humorous, and most important, understandable. She deviates with the common messages of the fitness and health industry, instead urging her students to to accept the bodies they live in and mindfully move them.
In addition to learning about each part of the body, Rachel takes the time to meet with each student individually. During one of our sessions, she suspected that I might have a pelvic floor issue and referred me to a physical therapist specializing in this. The PT confirmed that I do indeed have tightness in this area explaining years of pain that went undiagnosed in spite of seeing dozens of doctors. Until now, I had just given up.
Sign up for Rachel’s courses now before she gets too famous for you to afford them because that’s the direction she’s going!”

“I now feel confident in my body’s abilities!”
I had been through a lot of physical therapy and countless other programs and healing modalities to create more ease and less pain in my body. Rachel was sharing things I hadn’t heard before and when I tried them out, I felt better! I always left my 1:1 sessions on a high! I just felt so alive and excited to dive into all the exercises and techniques we covered. I can feel the deep well of knowledge that Rachel has and I love the way she is able to tailor recommendations around both effectiveness and fun! I also appreciate how she places people’s own unique embodied experience at the center of her work rather than trying to say something will 100% work for everyone. I felt so supported during this process and I’m leaving this program being able to do things I didn’t think I could do! I now feel confident in my body’s abilities and I’ve got my joy of movement back!

The Empowered Body Program guides you through
The Four Pillars Of Healthy Movement
Why?
Mindfulness is an awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose and without judgement, in the present moment.
Cultivating mind-body awareness with mindfulness will help you learn the language of your body so you can pick up on all the information it gives you.
How?
â—† Meditation
â—† Journaling
â—† Guided thought-processing
â—† Awareness developing exercises
Why?
Our culture perpetuates a lot of toxic beliefs and ideas about our bodies. Breaking down those negative beliefs and replacing them with positive, intentional ones will help you stay consistent and be clear on your goals and values.
How?
â—† Create beliefs that will benefit you
â—† Identify beliefs that harm you
â—† Strategize ways to implement your positive beliefs
Why?
Learning basic anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics makes it so much easier to diagnose problems, make repairs, and tune for performance.
How?
â—† Learn how to describe movement
â—† Lean how the major joints and muscles in your body move
â—† Understand your body’s systems like the nervous system, lymphatic system, and more
Why?
If you ask a toddler to pick something up off the ground, they’ll do a perfect squat. No one taught them proper squat form; their bodies just do it.
How?
â—† Break down and practice movements like crawling, walking, sitting, and breathing
â—† Learn to bring awareness to movements that are automatic
â—† Retrain movements that are no longer automatic

If you’re thinking…
“I’m not sure if I can commit to a 6-month program…”
Committing to a 6-month program may seem daunting, but remember that it’s designed to help you make lasting changes. Throughout the program, you’ll get the support, motivation, and resources you need to keep you engaged and on track. Many participants have found that the extended duration allows for deeper transformation and sustainable results.

The Empowered Body Program takes a holistic approach, combining mindfulness, mindset work, mechanics, and foundational movements. This program is designed to address the root causes of pain, immobility, and lack of motivation. Participants have experienced significant improvements and regained their joy in movement from this program’s unique approach.

Forget everything you thought you knew about exercise though, because The Empowered Body Program goes beyond traditional exercise routines. It focuses on cultivating a healthy relationship with movement and helping you discover what works best for your body. Through personalized guidance and exploration, together we’ll develop a strategy to make movement enjoyable and rewarding for you.

This program is tailored to meet your specific individual needs and is suitable for people with physical limitations or conditions. My approach prioritizes safety, and we’ll work together to ensure you can participate fully while respecting your limitations.
