About
I’m an award‑winning, board‑certified wellness and health coach, Precision Nutrition coach, personal trainer, lifestyle weight‑management specialist, and fitness instructor. I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Nutrition and have been coaching and training clients for many years.
I’ve helped hundreds of men and women lose weight and feel better through both group weight‑loss programs and one‑on‑one coaching. My approach combines accountability coaching, clear nutrition education, and practical behavior‑change strategies so you can build sustainable habits—not quick fixes.
If you’re ready for real lifestyle transformation and want expert guidance in personal training, nutrition, or health and wellness coaching, I’d love to help you get started.

Coach Rae is an excellent fitness instructor. I began my weight loss journey in August of this year. When she and I held our initial intake, it was like I was talking with a family friend. She did a lot of listening and reaffirming, which gave me the confidence that I needed. From there we created a workout schedule/ meal plan. She holds me accountable to the foods that I eat. She holds me accountable to my "workout" plan. Her approach is not punitive but supportive.
SHE is my coach! With much enthusiasm, I will continue to work under her guidance. I will continue to move my body and learn to view food as fuel. She is the bomb.com!

My experience with Rachael has been amazing! She is able to work with the little equipment that I have at my home and she creates effective workout plans customized to my needs. She is very knowledgeable and personable! She is encouraging, supportive and provides necessary accountability. I have seen great results so far and look forward to reaching my fitness goals!

Due to some personal issues I’m not able to get started right away. However, I have spoken with this trainer by phone several times. We have established a fabulous rapport. So, I believe everything is going to be great once we are able to get started. I’m so glad that I discovered Thumbtack.com while playing WordConnect on my phone and that I found Rae to be my new trainer. ARansom

My experience with Rae was amazing! She helped me with lbs off and inches off as well! I had her for nutrition and weight loss and if something didn't work well with my eating she adjusted what needed to be done. Rae was able to come to my home 2 times a week and she was available anytime I messaged her as well. She also offers virtual lessons. 😌 You will not be disappointed she is the best hands down. I will be doing personal training with her again.

Coach Rae is my health and accountability coach and with her help I had lost 60+lbs over a couple years. When My weight started going back up, I immediately signed back on with Coach Rae. I’ve lost 16.5 in the past 10wks. Her programs work because she truly cares about your health and wellness
