Rachel graduated with honors from the Georgia Institute of Technology with her bachelors degree in chemistry. She then went on to Mercer University where she earned her doctorate in physical therapy. Since then, she has attended post-graduate training for certification in dry needling through the Spinal Manipulation Institute and achieved the title of certified strength and conditioning coach as well as performance and sport scientist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

After having her first child and realizing the desperate need for improved pre- and postnatal rehab recommendations, she underwent additional training through the Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute to specialize in pelvic health physical therapy and has completed over 100 hours of continuing education specific to running.

She has appeared on multiple podcasts including “Mom Break,” “Run the Race,” “Strength Running Podcast,” “Run with Fitpage,” and “Practice Brave” and is the lead author of the first ever peer-reviewed rehabilitation protocol for pregnant and postpartum athletes which was recently published in the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy.

She is continuously working to ensure that athleticism and motherhood do not have to be mutually exclusive both for herself and for her patients.
