i’m rae, a stråla yoga + meditation guide + a certified running coach.

i help people create sustainable wellness practices for their every-day life. i believe that healing is rooted in feeling + that small shifts have the biggest impact. any + all work i do encourages you to slow down, listen to your body, observe how you’re feeling + explore what you can do to honor those feelings.

 

i have a personal yoga practice of 20 years + have been guiding the movement + lifestyle practice of stråla yoga for nearly a decade.

stråla yoga combines the movement + healing wisdom of tai chi with the form vocabularies of yoga, tai chi, qigong + traditional chinese + japanese medicine to help people release stress, move easily through challenge + live radiantly inspiring lives.

rae is an excellent coach...she is not a do as i say - she lives it. she is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of her business + is always available to answer a question. her caring nature + thoughtfulness show through. i learned not to beat myself up over my slips, to eat what i liked , when o liked, to slow down, enjoy my food, take a breath which all resulted in me eating less but being more satisfied + to be more loving towards myself.

my coaching experience with rae has been life changing + i don’t say that lightly! rae has an uncanny ability to connect with people + understand them. i always felt like our sessions were a safe space to share anything + everything; i never felt judged + i felt like i could be vulnerable. i remember that one of the first things we discussed was how small changes can make a big difference. i didn’t quite understand the import of that until we started getting in to our sessions. now, i feel like it’s a new way of living + i can see how what seems like the simplest or smallest change, can literally change your morning, or your whole day, or even your life. for anyone that is considering wellness coaching, but isn’t sure if it is for them, i offer this: for many of us, it’s hard to find balance with career, family, obligations, etc. you don’t need to want to lose weight or have some specific goal when you come in to coaching. rae will meet you where you are + you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the ways in which she can help you live your best life. she’ll hold you accountable, but she’ll also help you through it. she’s always professional, but she’s also like a friend. rae has helped me to tap into my creativity + to foster healthy + sustainable habits + routines that i now cherish + that are only mine. i’m thriving, not just surviving + i’m making progress, not striving for perfection!
