Meet Rachel
Hi! I’m Rachel, the founder of Foundations First Fitness & Nutrition. As a Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, BIRTHFIT Coach, and Functional Nutrition and Metabolic Specialist with over a decade of experience, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of women lose weight, get healthy from the inside out, and build radiating confidence!
My mission is simple: to help you understand your body, build real strength, and create a healthy lifestyle that you can maintain long after our coaching ends. We don’t avoid cake at parties or skip girls night. I specialize in guiding clients through the entire weight loss journey (including the often-overlooked reverse diet process), so you not only reach your goals but learn how to sustain them. You can eat MORE, and have the body of your dreams.
Why I’m Different
As a mom of two wild toddlers, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to prioritize your health amidst the chaos. That’s why I meet my clients where they are; offering practical, no-judgment solutions tailored to their unique needs. My philosophy? "Done messy is better than not done at all." Fitness and nutrition don’t have to be perfect - they just have to fit into your life.
I also bring a deep understanding of female biology, hormones, and motherhood challenges, helping women optimize their health at every stage of life. My approach is relatable, encouraging, and grounded in science, with an emphasis on education so you can confidently navigate your health journey for years to come.
How We Work Together
Through one-on-one online coaching, I’ll guide you step-by-step to:
Build a balanced diet that fits your calorie needs and preferences
Incorporate whole foods that fuel your body and taste great (and take little prep!)
Develop an effective workout routine that builds muscle and burns fat
Create habits that stick - no crash diets or all-or-nothing approaches here!
Establish mindset shifts that help you break free of “starting over” every Monday
You'll have the accountability and support you need, with text check-ins, phone calls, and group Zoom sessions to keep you on track.
Start Your Transformation
If you’re ready to ditch the yo-yo dieting and finally achieve a sustainable, healthy lifestyle, I’d love to work with you. Together, we’ll build a foundation for lasting success - one habit, one meal, and one workout at a time. Apply for coaching here.
