~ ABOUT ME ~

Rach's Beauty Journal ...

I thought it would be nice to share in my first entry, a little about me and my background.  Over the upcoming weeks, I'll share little details so you get to know me as a person - not just some random person on the internet!  My vision has always been to make 'Luscious Living' personable, initimiate and a place for woman to connect in a supported and uplifted way! 

Here is a small snapshot of my background in fitness, dance, excercise and movement ...

I specialise in movement alchemy, dance fitness, botanical beauty nutrition and cuisine, beauty apothecary and chic lifestyle makeovers.

I am a university qualified (BSc - Sport Science) fitness-sports trainer with over 20 years experience. My skills and background range from dance fitness, yoga, pilates to training elite athletes and injury rehabilation. I am also a certified 200 RYT Vinyasa Yoga Teacher. 

The beauty and elegance of dance captivated me interest from a young age. In my teenage years my dance fascination turned to Latin dancing. I competed and placed first in NZ's first ever Salsa and Lambada competition. It was from here that my dancing career turned professional; dancing for Latin Fever Dance Productions and performing live dance shows in my early twenties. Later in life I taught Zumba classes as I loved the incorporation of latin dance into fitness. The addition of vinyasa yoga is the perfect compliment to my love for movement and it's ability to create personal transformation.

I believe movement is a beautiful way of expressing oneself and provides a wonderful solution to suppleness, strength and centeredness.
