Hi, I'm Raquel Rivelo.
My work draws on the simple yet profound concept: “You are your own best healer.” After suffering from years of chronic stress, unprocessed trauma, and a lifetime’s worth of negative self-talk, I found my health was suffering—physically, mentally, and most importantly spiritually.
As a part of my own quest towards a total health reset—I discovered that all the tools that I needed were within me, and radically shifted my connection to my inner wisdom and guidance. Now, I help others do the same.
I am not your preacher, guru, or savior. I am simply someone who “gets it,” because I have been there myself; and through this process have found a systematic, holistic approach to healing. It is my mission to empower you to look deeply within and heal so that you too can reclaim your inner vibrancy, and live the life you have always dreamed of.
I believe in looking at the body as a whole living and breathing organism.
Everything you take into your body holds energy, from the food you eat—to the air you take in—to the information you digest. Through my own health quest, I have become versed in all areas of mind, body, and spirit, receiving certifications as an ACE Health Coach and Behavior Change Specialist, Yoga Alliance 200-hour yoga teacher, and Ayurvedic Health Counselor.
“It’s time to put the power back in your hands.”
Together, we’ll work to reclaim your inner vibrancy.
Balance your body.
Our body is the vessel in which we operate everything. But are you optimizing your body to its greatest potential in what you eat, how you move, and how you take in the world? Our one-on one coaching session will examine your daily habits and create a system that works for you.
Train your breath.
Did you know that many of us are breathing incorrectly? Our society is in a constant state of stress without even realizing it. In turn, this effects the breath and how you can show up in this world. Together, we work on understanding how to utilize your breath to return to balance.
Cultivate your mind.
Your mind is a magical tool, but is your mind working for you or working against you? When we cultivate our mind we begin to understand that we have control over our thoughts. After addressing the body and breath, we are ready to dive into the subtleties of the mind.
Why work with me?
My business began from my own healing journey.
When I stumbled upon an ashram (a place for practicing yoga, meditation, and other modalities to evolve and grow spiritually) in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania one weekend, my life took a turn. I was still living in the city, and little did I know that this weekend would change my life's whole trajectory. After that weekend, I felt a shift in my body; it was the first time in my entire life that I felt completely at ease. A little voice inside my head told me to move there, and every part of myself felt aligned to the decision. In turn, it led me to quit my corporate job, move to the middle of nowhere (in comparison to the big apple), and fully immerse myself in a new way of living.
Here I jumped into a life that allowed me to see my own potential. By stepping outside of the thought patterns that I engulfed in, I started to see a new life unfold before my eyes. A life that we all have access to and can manifest. Through yoga and meditation, I began to open myself to the joy and abundance that we all can experience from within. This inner radiance and joy can then illuminate every single aspect of your life.
Healing from the inside out.
I know it sounds crazy, but it can really be this simple. I have always been a pretty healthy individual from an outsider's perspective—I eat well, exercise, and do all the things to be physically fit, but what I lacked the most was a healthy and positive mindset. Most of us are prisoners of our minds. But what if we were able to turn our prisoner mind into a sanctuary?
After recently facing a multitude of health problems from Lyme's disease to Epstein-Barr Virus and many more in between, I realized that not only do these diseases have a physical component, but they also have an energetic component. WE ARE ENERGY, and our bodies need to heal on a physical level AND an energetic level. When I began to accept my diseases and work with them as my teacher, I was able to heal.
