Rachelle is a yoga teacher, entrepreneur, creator of the Nashama Project (a conscious jewelry company), world traveler, spiritual guide, and life coach. Rachelle lost her mother tragically when she was 9 years old, which she believes completely changed the course of her life and set her on a path of healing, learning, and living her life to the fullest. Our talk today was 100% real, deep, and soulful, just like Rachelle.
