Are you ready to reconnect with yourself? Last summer I did something’s that changed my life. First I signed up for then I signed up for a yoga camping retreat by myself with a group of people I’ve never met before. I’ve never been one to go off and do things alone until recently. I’ve been pushing myself to get to know myself better and to try new things. This retreat I went to was hosted by .essence and I camped in the middle of nowhere, tried aerial yoga, went hiking by myself, experienced a fire ceremony and a sound bath for the first time. This experience set me on a path of self awareness and discovery that I didn’t even know I was needing in my life and I am forever grateful. I’m excited to continue this journey and be co-hosting a wellness retreat this August 20-23 with Laura. We want to share our passions, gifts and knowledge with you. We want to help you reconnect with yourself, get to know yourself again, rebalance your energy and life. This retreat is going to be a small group 6-8 guests held at an air bnb just 20 minutes from Madison, WI. The cost of the retreat covers your stay, 5 meals, 2 group yoga sessions, full moon ceremony, art workshop and other services provided by myself and Laura. If this retreat is calling to you please check out our Facebook posts or reach out to discuss details. Have an amazing week! Rach

Wellness Weekend! Recommitment To Your Path & Restoring Balance: A Blue Full Moon Wellness & Nutrition Retreat

COLLECTING INTEREST & COMMITMENT! Fill out this form here to reserve space!
https://forms.gle/JVBbrmRsWXuxMQiA7


Join us for a weekend retreat of restoring and recommitting to our life path. This weekend ends with a rare full moon in Aquarius--also known as a Blue Moon. Blue Moons occur when there is a repeat of the same astrological sign in the calendar year. The first full moon in Aquarius occurs the month before so August is all about second chances, detaching even more deeply to that which we released or experienced in July and balancing the aspects of showy & bold with detached & cool! To truly experience this energy, Laura will be leading us through several yoga & energy work based experiences including daily yoga classes, ceremony & intuitive art. Rachael will be providing meals and holistic nutrition coaching.

LOCATION:
The Evergreen Ranch House, by Arington Adventures, offers a unique, beautiful and secluded retreat. Located off the beaten path, on a 600 acre award winning tree farm, in South Central Wisconsin. The home offers 6 luxury appointed bedrooms, and 4 full bathrooms. It accommodates 14 people comfortably. The Evergreen Ranch, in a previous life, was home to a thriving horse ranch.

The property is 5 miles from downtown Cambridge and 25 miles to the Capitol Square in downtown Madison.
Cambridge, Wisconsin, is one of the best kept secrets in the state, for outdoor recreational opportunities. In fact, one of the most technical single-track off-road mountain bike trails is located just south of Cambridge, in CamRock Park.
CamRock Park also offers hiking, birding, and in the winter, cross county skiing and sledding.
Cambridge is also home to Lake Ripley, a wonderful lake, perfect for kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, or simply a day of swimming and relaxation on the beach. Downtown there are specialty shops, multiple restaurants, coffee shops, and the Piggly Wiggly grocery store.
Madison, home of the UW Badgers, and one of the greatest Farmers' Markets around, is a short 20 minutes away from the property.
The restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and outdoor experiences are endless.

What can you do today to step out of your comfort zone?
Getting stuck in the comfort zone is easy to do, it happens to all of us all of the time but if nothing changes, nothing changes.

Are you letting comfort get in the way of your goals?

Today I had coffee with a person I met last week at a networking event. Both of these thing pushed me right out of my comfort zone. I’ve had the same circle of people in my life for the last decade, meeting new people and trying new things has always been a bit scary for me but I know that it is necessary for growth.

How does getting stuck in the comfort zone impact your overall health? Do you need a little help pushing past that comfort zone? Let’s have a chat and see if I can help you achieve your goals!

Here’s a picture of some delicious pasta I made last spring! Enjoy your day. Rach

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. It is often the only meal I truly get to enjoy during my work week. Today I went with an amazing organic veggie packed omelette. Pasture Raised Eggs, oyster mushrooms, spinach, red onions, micro cantaloupe and fermented ginger carrots! Everything except for the spinach came from !

When I started my journey at IIN my idea of what a health coach did was that they coached people on making healthy food choices. Now that I am halfway through my training my understanding has changed. Being “healthy” is no one thing. It looks and feels different for everyone, because we are all very different people. My schooling and research has taught me many different dietary theories and it has also taught me how every aspect of your life is connected to the others. In my practice we work together to pin point the areas in your world that may be out of balance and need extra attention. You are in the drivers seat, it is your life. Are you ready to invest in yourself, your health, your happiness, your piece of mind? Let’s have a conversation and see if my health coaching program is a fit for you! Check out my website for more info on what I’m doing, link is in the bio.

What does an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach do?
I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship(s) cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole. We work together to custom plan a program that helps balance the areas in your life that need extra attention to reach your wellness goals!

Stay tuned for tips on how to reduce stress, improve energy, add better food options into your routine and of course I'll be throwing in some easy and delicious recipes!

In the meantime, if you have more specific questions on what a health coach does, if a health coach is right for your journey or anything else relating to health, wellness and holistic living feel free to shoot me a message!
