"Rachel creates such a fun, safe, relaxing, come-as-you-are space, which allows each participant in her workshops the grace, dignity and space to tune into their own needs on a minute-to-minute basis and to go to whatever depth works for them in any given activity or exercise.

I am continually impressed by her ability to seamlessly mix the more spiritual/esoteric aspects of being human with the grounded-ness and practicality of existing in the "regular" world every day and figuring things out as we go.

Rachel walks her talk. She does her work. She knows that she is (and that all of us are!) a work-in-progress, ever-evolving, ever-growing, and therefore brings the most luscious and comforting humility and humour to everything she does.

She also happens to be a compassionate and well-trained yoga teacher And lastly, if Rachel is involved, you know the food will be fab-u-lous. I would literally go to any retreat she leads. Sign me up for the next one!"

“We took a private tour with the amazing Rachel - the epitome of a great tour guide. Not only was she knowledgeable, enthusiastic, energetic, organized, focused and personable, she was passionate about Rome. She wanted us to love Rome as much as she did and needless to say, mission accomplished. She is an impressive young woman! Also, and this is particularly important in Rome, she handled the logistics without a hitch. She knew everyone and they knew her and it was obvious they had mutual respect for each other.”

“Rachel has the ability to burst out with energy and genuinely make people feel taken care of, understood and acknowledged. She is a natural leader with diverse talents and people-skills.”

– Leah Santa Cruz, Meditation Teacher, Ubud Bali

Rachel creates such a fun vibe at her retreats, complete with well-placed wit and humor in her teachings! She has a beautiful way of making herself available to help with absolutely anything and everything that people need support with during the retreat. She incorporates yummy aspects of Italian culture & cuisine, even when holding retreats outside of Italy. I love her down-to-earth flavor of being a very personable, non-egoic yoga & meditation teacher.

“A great guide is like a great teacher. They must have the knowledge, passion, and people skills to make the learning experience not only educational but memorable. They will inspire you to fall in love with the subject matter. So we really lucked out when we got Rachel as our guide. She has all the qualities of [that one] teacher that all the students love. She was very adept at tuning the tour to our interests and needs. Rachel left us with an even richer experience and a great appreciation for Rome...”
