“Rachel is AMAZING. She's watched our pup several times now, and has been attentive and communicative (sent us daily check-in texts and pictures) and our pup loves her. She always makes sure our pup gets her walks and lots of love. Rachel is our go-to dog-sitter and she should be yours, too!” -Ryan O.

Yoga Teacher.
Yoga has been a part of Rachel’s life for many years, and is a practice she hopes to continue throughout her lifetime. Always looking to deepen her knowledge, it made sense for her to get certified! She absolutely loved her trainng program through Highland Yoga in New Jersey, and completed her 200 hour certification program in 2023.
Through her teaching, Rachel hopes to empower her students to build their own autonomy in their practices, instill the idea that all bodies are unique and move differently, educate on all aspects of yoga (surprise, it’s not just the poses!), as well as create a space to allow for unhurriedness, mindfulness, and ease.
Rachel teaches private and group sessions online as well as in person. Feel free to reach out for more information!
Intimacy Choreographer.
Being an intimacy professional doesn’t mean you just choreograph intimate scenes. The role also requires you to be an advocate of the actor’s autonomy, as well as a liaison between the various departments, all the while supporting the director’s creative vision. As an actor herself and someone who believes practicing consent and upholding boundaries only enhances the creative process, Rachel is thrilled to be a part of the intimacy professional community.
Rachel is currently a part of the Intimacy Directors and Choreographer’s (IDC) Accelerator Program. She has also attended various online and in person workshops with Theatrical Intimacy Education, as well as Open intimacy. She feels especially grateful to have studied with Laura Rikard, Kim Shively, and Chelsea Pace.
