Your path forward
hey, my name is Rachel
Your Coach
I'm Rachel, founder of Thrive in 52, a personalized coaching business for women 40+ who want to build strength, stay independent, and remain fully engaged in the lives they love.
As a yoga teacher and personal trainer who navigated my own back surgery and recovery, I know firsthand what it means to rebuild. That experience shaped the way I coach today, with an emphasis on mobility, thoughtful progression, and building strength that supports your body and your life.
With a Master's in Education and a background in teaching, I bring a teacher's clarity and a coach's structure to every plan I create. I'm a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Precision Nutrition Coach, with additional training in health and wellness coaching. I've also been recognized as a top trainer at one of the country's leading fitness clubs.
My focus is women 40+, while also welcoming the partners and family members who want to become stronger and healthier alongside them.
I believe strength and confidence can be built at every stage of life, opening the door to keep doing what you love. My approach is personal, proactive, and built around small, consistent actions that create meaningful, lasting change.
Let's build the strength that keeps you doing what you love.
