Rachel has always had a passion for health, for herself and for others.  In the summer of 2006, she attended her first hot yoga class.  In all of the years she was an athlete, this was the most challenging workout and was addicted after her first class.  She incorporated one to two classes a week and within six months, she had lost 25 pounds.  She was in the best shape of her life.

At that time, Rachel noticed that the Seattle area had very few hot yoga studios and thought that one was needed in the north end.  She has always wanted to own her own business.  With her business degree from Washington State University and growing up in a business oriented family, she wanted to live her dream.  In April, 2008, Rachel opened Hot Yoga of Mill Creek. God has really given her the best gift, the gift to help others.

In 2017, Rachel fulfilled another dream of hers, to be a mother. With years of disappointment she finally had her little girl, Mariana. Then in 2019, she was blessed with another daughter, Mya. Life is even more beautiful for Rachel now!
