about

Hello! My name is Rachel. I’m a coach, teacher, mentor, dog mom (that’s my firstborn Mabel pictured here) and founder of Quarter Moon Coaching.

I’ve always been obsessed with transformation and self-discovery. I got my BA in Psychology at UCLA (Go Bruins!) and got my coaching start in the health and fitness space. Over the last six years, I became an expert in helping others feel strong and powerful in their physical bodies, build better habits, and approach their goals with confidence. But here’s the real tea about how I got here…

After graduating college, I spent the first five years of my career climbing the corporate ladder at a major record label. I regularly clocked 10-hour days, cried in the bathroom more times than I care to admit, and pushed myself to the point of exhaustion. I realized that this corporate girlboss fever dream was NOT my calling.

I was faced with a decision — Do I continue down this path, feeling drained and unfulfilled by a “stable” career that made me sound cool and successful? Or do I take a leap of faith, get curious, and take the time to figure out who I am and what it is that I truly want?

Somewhere in the midst of my girlbossing, I started lifting at a magical, inclusive gym community called The Phoenix Effect. Eventually, I worked at the front desk to help pay my bills while figuring out next steps. It was there that my love for fitness and transformation grew. Before I knew it, I was coaching classes, taking on private clients, teaching workshops, and speaking at corporate events.

Now I’m excited to continue my quest of guiding you to greater. I take an intuitive, holistic approach, incorporating mind, body, and spirit, to create programs that help clients gain clarity, direction, and find strength in their self-discovery.

Transformation doesn’t stop at the self—it creates strong, joyful, and supportive communities. When we step into our authentic power, it invites those around us to do the same. Living out our fullest, most joyful, most authentic expression is a powerful form of resistance.

Whether you’re ready to ditch your toxic corporate job and find your true calling, get so strong you can flip a car and survive the apocalypse, or simply get to know yourself better and have SO MUCH FUN while doing it, you’ve come to the right place. Check out the Services section of my site to see the current offerings and learn more about how we can work together. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward self-discovery!
