I have spent years and money on various diets and nutritionists throughout the years – all of them never working.  I always thought it was my fault and so I jumped from the Paleo Diet to Weight Watchers, from The Body Ecology Diet to The Blood Type.  Each time failing once more.  Then I found Rachel – a breath of fresh air and someone who truly has the knowledge and ability to help people.  Rachel practices bio-individuality – recognizing that we each have are own issues with food, our bodies, and our emotions.  Her responsive to my emails and questions is unparalleled.  Even though I know she has other clients, she makes me feel like her only one.  I truly cannot say enough good things about her, and the best part is that for the first time in my life, I know that I can stick with her recommendations to live a healthier, happier life.

“Rachel has given me the knowledge, tools, support and confidence to be able to take chances, get out of my comfort zone and do things I never had the courage to try before.  I am able to focus on building my brand, visibility with confidence, knowing that I had a solid, proven program, that I was able to customize with my unique flavor for my specific niche.” Naomi Happy Coach

“Working with Rachel has been wonderful.  She really takes the time to figure out YOU and what your needs are and then caters a program to those specific issues.  She really knows her stuff and is always on the hunt for new and different ways to help with your goals. She introduced me to different foods and ways to prepare them and what they can do nutritionally.  Most importantly, she really made me look at my health, my life and how to live a great life.”

When I met Rachel I was very frustrated. I was working out and following a basic nutrition plan but could not lose the last 5-10 pounds to my goal weight. After meeting with Rachel and finding out what I was eating and how I was feeling after I ate, she was able to come up with an individualized meal plan just for me. After following this meal plan for just a couple of months I was losing weight and feeling nourished, not deprived. Finally after working with Rachel I am able to have a healthy relationship with food.  I feel healthier, leaner and more energetic at 40 years old than I have ever felt in my life.  Thanks Rachel!!

I have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Rachel Feldman over the last several months.  Rachel has guided me ever so gently on my path to better living through better health. Rachel’s commitment & knowledge helped me to begin making choices in my life that have allowed me to feel excited, interested & willing to live the life I was intended to live. The greatest gift you can give yourself is to take this personal journey with Rachel ~ you are worth it  ~ something that I had forgotten and was reminded with Rachel’s help.

“On Nov. 23, 2010, I stood before my doctor, pushing my all time highest recorded weight of 342 lbs. (that’s the only official account of my weight that high as my scale at home couldn’t handle anything over 330 lbs).  One of the first things she asked me was to tell her about “the foods that make Ari happy.”  Her belief is simple, if you are not happy eating what you are eating, then no matter what type of program you are on, it will be nearly impossible to continue doing it long term.  With my “happy list” in hand, Rachel helped devise an eating schedule and menu guide for me that changed my world for the better.  She taught me the importance of balancing my foods, regulating my intake, and encouraged me to try different things that would stimulate my digestive system, as well as help to “clean out all the junk.”  There were plenty of “you gotta be kidding me” moments, don’t get me wrong, but I put my trust in her, and she didn’t misguide me one bit.  So Rachel tasked me to re-light that flame and get it burning bright. In the past, a workout to me was a 2+ hour commitment, so the thought of waking up early to work out was something I could not fathom.  Those that know me are aware of the fact that I am anything BUT a morning person.  Rachel helped me to realize that I didn’t have to block out a quarter of my day to commit to a hard core workout, and by acknowledging the importance of these small pockets of time, I was able to scoot my alarm clock back in small increments and fill that time doing something active. Today, Nov. 10, 2011, two weeks shy of the one year anniversary of that horrible doctor’s appointment, and three weeks from my next scheduled appointment, I am finally looking at the underbelly (yes, pun intended) of my first target weight, I have broken through the 300 lb barrier.  I feel like Rocky Balboa at the end of Rocky II – “Yo Rachel!  I did it!”.

“Whenever I refer people to Rachel Feldman, I tell them she is, “the woman who saved our lives”.  Last January my Husband, Mark, was diagnosed with stage 4 non-hodgkins lymphoma and we started a journey that has forever changed us.  Prior to his diagnosis he was experiencing debilitating stomach pain, irregular bowel movements, anal fissures etc.  Having been raised on meat, rice and potatoes he would often purchase whatever pastry or pie was on sale at the grocery store and eat that for breakfast.  An athlete his entire life, he rationalized that his consistent physical activity outweighed any of the poor food choices he was making.  He was fit and trim but now unable to eat more than a few tablespoons full at every meal and the light and brightness I had once seen in his eyes was dark and hazy.  Endoscopy’s, colonoscopy’s, and the like left us with no answers and troubling side effects.  We were lost and I was very scared.

I felt like someone was going to get to the bottom of why my Husband was hurting. Rachel got our family off of gluten, found the right supplements and began to lead Mark down a pathway to healing his digestive system, which seemed to be in shambles.  Almost immediately after she helped us change our diet the majority of his pain subsided.  His color was improving, he began going to the bathroom regularly and his joints even started to feel better.  Rachel was helping us reduce his chronic inflammation and rid his body of waste that was making him sicker.  He could finally begin to nourish himself again and I saw a light at the end of the tunnel.  When Mark was diagnosed Rachel held my hand from 100’s of miles away and pointed me in the right directions.

My eyes fill with tears as I write this because I do not believe I would still have Mark if it weren’t for Rachel.  I think by the time Doctors finally realized what he was dealing with it would have been too late were it not for all she did to help us before.  Once Mark was healed I began to work with Rachel personally as I attempted to heal from the emotional trauma of the past year – and as I discovered- so long before.  I was literally making myself sick by not taking care of me and now with her help, I feel better than I ever have.  Rachel opened my heart in such a way that has allowed intense healing to take place within me and I am so grateful.  She dispelled so many food myths for me and helped me realize there is no one perfect diet for everyone.  She is my friend, my teacher, and my guardian angel.  Her dedication to her clients and her family inspires me on a daily basis and I believe she is an ESSENTIAL part of anyone’s healing journey. I love you, Rachel.”

“Thank You sooo much for your help! I know I don’t always express my emotions well, but I wanted to Thank You from the bottom of my heart.  You are the catalyst to my journey in achieving a life of balance and gratitude! I will never not be TYPE A and an overachiever but at least I can learn to live in the moment and “slow down” (Maybe just a little).  I know you get me so THANK YOU for even just that.  Not all people do! 
SO I am going to bed after I finish this email (earlier than I have in many many weeks) and my heart is full of gratitude!”

“Rachel, I wanted to thank you for your recommendations to my diet.  Not only do I consider myself a well-conditioned athlete but an executive and family man with a demanding schedule.  Since implementing your recommendations I have seen a dramatic increase in my energy, strength, focus, and endurance levels throughout the entire day.  You have revolutionized the way I look at nutrition and have done so by offering meals and snacks that taste great and are easy to prepare.  I feel better now than I have my entire life and I thank you for all your help and support.”

“Hello Rachel,
I don’t know if you remember me but I came to you for nutritional counseling earlier this year and I just wanted to give you an update and say thank you. My health has been so much better since you worked with me and gave me different supplements and pro biotics to try. After almost 2 years of ongoing health issues from Crohn’s Disease and not being able to hold down jobs, I finally feel like I’ve turned a corner and am back to normal. I actually have several jobs now (probably too much going on) and I am very physically active. I actually taught 5 dance classes in a row yesterday and made it through! In spite of the crazy schedule my health has stayed well and I am on no medications! Do you remember that long list of medications I had been given? I’ve come a long way and I owe you a great big thank you. You’re knowledge and guidance has helped me get my life back. Thank you Thank you Thank you!”
