Transform your energy. Awaken your life.

Rachael is a yoga teacher, Reiki Master, and guide for inner transformation. She is the co-founder of Love Defeats Fear Yoga in Newport, Rhode Island. Her work blends movement, energy, and mindfulness to help others reconnect to their innate wisdom — the light that is always present within.

With nearly a decade of teaching experience, Rachael is an E-RYT 500 yoga teacher, Usui Holy Fire® & Karuna Reiki Master, and holds a Master’s degree in Transpersonal & Humanistic Psychology. Her teachings weave together ancient practices like Yoga, Ayurveda, and Reiki with modern understandings of the mind and nervous system, offering a grounded and integrative approach to healing and self-discovery.

Rachael believes that yoga is not about perfecting poses — it’s about remembering who we are beneath the noise. Each practice becomes an invitation to pause, breathe, and see clearly. Through this awareness, transformation naturally unfolds.

Whether she’s leading a vinyasa class, a Reiki training, or an international retreat, Rachael’s intention is always the same:to help people find peace, empowerment, and purpose through awareness and energy alignment.

Her offerings — from weekly classes to workshops, teacher trainings, and retreats — are designed to help students move beyond limitation, release old patterns, and reconnect to their wholeness.

Beyond the Studio

When she’s not teaching, Rachael can often be found near the ocean, hanging out in her favorite coffee shop, or planning her next retreat — experiences that bring together travel, culture, and conscious community.
