In this difficult, unsettling time, Rachel offers a wonderful place to recharge, reflect and feel centered. She does this with her whole being - offering wonderful music and movement and poetry, and seemingly magically creating an online community. She began the group online as a free community service, and for this I and her other followers are grateful. She continues to offer these weekly dance sessions at a reduced fee. Her Dance your Bliss workshops are the highlight of my week! Do join in and see what they're all about - you won't be disappointed.

Dancing with Rachel has been a lifesaver for me during this time of social distancing and isolation. I look forward to Fridays and Sundays, when we dance, because I know I will get to release all of that anxious energy and feel the delicious and much-needed peace and joy I always feel at the end of class. I am so grateful!

Rachel is pure joy! I participated in a Dance Your Bliss retreat with her and loved her teaching and facilitation style, her ability to create authentic connection within our community and her beautiful heart and presence. I highly recommend all of her programswhether its a one-hour session or a week-long experience!

Wow! Rachels dance classes are amazing- the music- the beautiful loving space with chocolate treats & rosewater spray- the sweetly guided movement. A beautiful experience for sure.
