As a high school student, Rachel attended a summer-long seminar at Canyon Ranch Health Resort, where she developed an interest in nutrition, spirituality and body mechanics. She then joined the cross-country and track teams at Baldwin High School.  She took it upon herself to study nutrition and wellness in the human body.  With her interest in wellness and medicine, she studied Pre-med at The University of Vermont, where she enjoyed running, biking, and hiking the green mountains.  She graduated with her B.S. in Psychology with a concentration in Neuroscience. Rachel graduated from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, with her degree as a Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.). She decided to further her education by enrolling in the University of Arizona’s Integrative Medicine Fellowship. She has been taught by many well-respected professors including Dr. Andrew Weil, Harvard-graduate and founder of Integrative Medicine, Dr. Siri Chand Khalsa, specialist in Ayurveda and Nutrition, and Sensai Koshin Ellison, co-founder of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care.  She hopes to be able to teach CrossFit members about nutrition as a key to wellbeing and disease prevention.
