"Not only has fitness provided me with an outlet to express my creativity and individuality, but it has also given me the strength and power to overcome my own personal challenges. I now aspire to help guide and navigate others through the never-ending journey of fitness."
"I am on a mission to help women incorporate healthy habits into their busy schedules. My style? I would say a combo of Jillian Michaels, giving you tough love and Oprah Winfrey, lovingly embracing your every move. Rather than dwelling on diet fads, calorie crunching, and restrictions, I encourage women to lead a happy, healthy life in a way that’s flexible, fun and free of denial!"
"Passionate about luxury retail, we launched - SENREVE - a direct-to-consumer, luxury handbag brand focused on delivering beauty and functionality to the modern woman."
"If you don't enjoy what you do for work, it's time to find a new job.
Always learn, always have fun.
Love what you do."
"A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing, always be closing."
- Blake, film: Glengarry Glen Ross
But there's nothing to close if nothing's been created. So first and foremost I like to say:
"A-B-C. Always Be Creating".
"Always create something in service to another; and be led by love and grace."

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” - Maya Angelou
"Talent, it seems, is energy waiting to be released through an honest involvement in life. But so many of us check whether we have power with the main switch 'off'- the switch being risk, curiosity, passion, and love. I share my deep passion for music as a DJ, producer, composer and singer-songwriter, under my alias - Symonne."
Raechel recently joined the leadership team of The Groovement, a Bay Area based non-profit that takes a stand against policies that threaten humans or the earth through community and music. The Groovement hosts dance party fundraisers, and all proceeds go to great causes. Their inaugural event on April 11th raised $5,000 for the Sierra Club, Americas largest grassroots environmental organization.
Stay tuned for the next event and learn how to get involved as they continue to grow by following The Groovement on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groovementsf/

"With the event I produce, 'East Meets West', I am redefining the music festival as a tool for personal, social and cultural revolution by introducing modern people to eastern and western, modern and traditional wellness, wisdom and world culture. We catalyze conversation and connection between leaders, entrepreneurs, wellness practitioners, futurists, technologists, post-humanists, visual artists, herbalists, scientists, meditators, musicians, cultural innovators and people looking to explore these topics in fresh, contemporary and urban aesthetic environments with a blend of alternative and mainstream Hip Hop, R+B, Global Bass, world electronic and House music, among other genres."
"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."
- Steve Jobs

"Saathi; a companion.
Join hands with us to care for the environment, our women and for the future."
"Here's to living a life by design, to having everything you want, to offering that same promise to other people."
"My mission is to help ballet dancers dance more confidently, comfortably, and joyfully through custom-fit shoe solutions. I’ve been a dancer all of my life, and I love being able to serve the needs dancers (from top-level professional ballerinas, to beginning students) by helping them grow as artists and athletes."
What began as a gathering of like-minded, talented, and passionate young minds within the Bay Area, has quickly grown to represent more than ever anticipated.
Together, we elevate and inspire ourselves. Together, we elevate and inspire our community. Together, we elevate and inspire our future.
- Jason A. Scott, Founder
"Networking is about finding ways to help others to become more successful." - Keith Ferrazi, Never Eat Alone
"I’m passionate about the ever-evolving intersection of content and technology; I want to live in a world with no barriers to self-expression, where creativity can be everyone’s part-time gig, and consumption can be self-designed, not imposed."
"We are committed to cultivating a safe and accepting fitness and dance community - fostering a creative space where clients can learn about unique fitness regimes that combine artistry and strength."
