Hello!
I'm Rachel, and I am thrilled you are here at 5 Minutes 4 Me. So, what's my story?
Well, I have spent over two decades as a personal fitness trainer, diving deep into the world of special populations. This journey has taught me a ton about tweaking exercises to make them safe, and simple, yet super effective.
My goal? To break down fitness into bite-sized, totally doable pieces, so you can easily squeeze them into your busy day.
My Story
Juggling life as a mom of two, with a full-time gig and a chronic illness, was my wake-up call to the world of self-care. Trust me, learning to carve out time for sleep, exercise, good food, and just breathing was a game changer.
It was all about making myself a priority. I reshaped my schedule, embraced exercise, got into meditation and self-hypnosis, explored ways to eat healthier, and made sure I was hitting the sack early enough.
And you know what? It worked wonders. More energy, less pain, and just feeling all-around better. It's been such a transformation that I'm now all about helping others find their way to this kind of balance.
