you deserve to take up space
When you take up space, you create a vessel for freedom, alignment, creativity, expression, restoration, and ease. You create a path towards living your best life! A life where you can experience the joy of an extra wide grocery aisle!
But seriously, everything you want and need becomes more accessible when you allow yourself to take up the space you deserve. From wanting a low back that doesn't ache all the time to having your opinions respected at work.
Now is
your time
Stop shrinking yourself!
Stop trying to shrink your body with harmful diets and contracted posture.
Stop shrinking your mind with negative self talk and limiting beliefs.
Stop shrinking your soul by ignoring your desires and abandoning joy.
Not taking up space is hurting you. Hurting your mind, body, and soul.
The thought of taking up space might be scary and intimidating, and that's okay.
I’m here to help you take that next step.
Deep work for lasting change.
So why a retreat? Why not just work with me 1:1 on this stuff? Four words: community, immersion, potency, and food!!
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN DEEP WORK
It can be very helpful to take yourself out of your natural environment and into one that is conducive to the change you want to create. NO DISTRACTIONS, NOTHING ELSE YOU HAVE TO DO, nOWHERE ELSE TO BE.
12 hours of potent instruction
i have Carefully Curated a series of exercises, discussions, and activities that will lead to focused learning and Transformation. it allows us to take advantage of the energy of change without any dilution.
GROW IN COMMUNITY
When you are surrounded by supportive people on the same path as you, you can be witnessed in a way that isn't possible 1:1. You can learn and grow from their Experiences, questions, and learning and growth.
nutrient dense lunch
Movement, change, growth, all require energy and nutrients! I will make sure that we are properly fueling our bodies so that everything becomes easier.
What to Expect
June 22+23
10am-4pm
set intentions
We will start each day centering on why we're here, what we want to accomplish, and how we want to feel throughout the day.
Expand Awareness
Expand your mind-muscle connection, your awareness of your body in space, and your ability to listen to your body with proprioception and interception exercises.
unlock freedom of movement
.Create space for easeful movement with speciality joint mobility exercises and my signature three dimensional breathing techniques
connect with the natural world
We'll venture down to the waterfront to practice grateful awareness of the space around us.
Fuel your space
Lunch and snacks!!
Harness the power of your voice
Take up space with sound as we use our voices to release emotion, build confidence, and anchor ourselves in our inherent worth.
demystify desire
As a human, you have needs, wants and desires. But often we're taught to push them down and hide them away. Let's uncover what you want and give yourself permission to pursue it.
own your physical presence
Dare to take up more physical space through intuitive movement flows, posture work, and body acceptance exercises
step into your power
We'll end our retreat with an empowering pole dancing class led by my own instructor, Missy Fusmith. We'll be exploring the space (and cheering each other on!) with our newfound freedom of movement, confident voices, and unapologetic presence.
As an intuitive coach, I will modify the activities to meet the needs of the group.
This retreat is designed to push you safely outside your comfort zone. I encourage you to adopt a beginner's mind, a childlike curiosity so you can fully benefit from our time together.
kind words from clients
“I always leave sessions with Rachel on a high! Rachel has such a deep well of knowledge and is able to impart that in such a fun and effective way. I've been able to do things that I didn't think I could do (especially with my history of body pain) and I have confidence in my body's abilities! I don't feel restricted anymore!”
-Mars M.
"I've attended a bunch of Rachel's workshops ranging from nervous system regulation to posture to breathing and her ability to read the room and hold a gentle, guiding space for body connection is inspiring! Her workshops are literally beautiful to experience."
—Jenesis R.
“I have a lot of chronic pain and ADHD, so meditation is often quite difficult for me. I went to one of Rachel's workshops that involved a mindfulness meditation and as soon as we got into it, my incessant fidgeting stopped, sitting became easy and full of strength!”
—Re M.
“I had a session with Rachel after a REALLY HARD family visit and she helped me release the pain and sorrow and grief I was unintentionally storing in my shoulders which was causing me a lot of pain. It was life changing to realize how much I can connect with my body and release stress!”
—Rose L.
