Episode 136 - A Recipe for Loving Yourself with Rachel Harvest, MS, RDN, CDN

This week, Karin welcomes Rachel Harvest, MS, RDN, CDN, registered dietitian, behavioral health specialist, personal coach, and pilates apparatus instructor, to the show for, ”A Recipe for Loving Yourself.”

Listen to a discussion on the four pillars of “self” that comprise The Harvest Method, the role of connecting to and understanding self on the healing journey, shifting from “not/either” to “both/and” to achieve balanced living, self-empowering through “I don’t know,” Project: Love, Me, one mindedness versus multitasking, growing up in ballet and the culture that comes with, and much more.

Rachel Harvest, MS, RDN, CDN is a registered dietitian, behavioral health specialist, personal coach and pilates apparatus instructor practicing in NYC. A former professional ballet dancer, Rachel danced through most of her 20s, becoming a certified Pilates Apparatus in 2007, to support her transition out of the dance world. Both ballet and Pilates taught her a keen understanding of anatomy and physiology and movement. She awakened a reverence for her own body and its capabilities.

Rachel graduated from NYU with a Masters of Science in Clinical Nutrition in 2013. She didn’t appreciate the methods of in-patient medical nutrition therapy as it lacked the person-centered approach she believes nourishment requires. During her studies, she saw a need for supporting people learning why it is important to take care of themselves and relating to themselves with confidence and compassion, over the need to educate how.

Rachel got trained in functional nutrition, dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and mind-body practices and incorporate them into behavioral health coaching for her clients.
