We had the good fortune of connecting with Rachel Weinstock and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rachel, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
“Nobody but you is responsible for your life. It doesn’t matter what your mama did; it doesn’t matter what your daddy didn’t do. You are responsible for your life. You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you’re responsible for the energy that you bring to others.” – Oprah.

This quote is hung at my desk and is a daily reminder that I can be the victim of hardships or difficult days, or I can chose to shift my energy. It doesn’t mean making everything happy and peachy, it’s about owning your energy and leaning into goodness. Somedays that means showing up and kicking butt and other days it means finding gratitude in the smallest of things. Life is truly what you make of it. I choose to find joy and happiness within my life and my work. I desire to be surrounded by people who are striving for better even when faced with the inevitable challenge.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My business, B Well, bloomed from a personal journey of health and wellness. Through my own trials, I learned how to fuel my body along with my family’s bodies, I learned how movement creates life and the importance of mindfulness. When I created B Well, I wanted to help others through a whole body (holistic) nutrition approach; looking at all aspects of the human body. I wanted to share the magic and power food has on every aspect of health. There is so much misinformation when it comes to nutrition, I wanted to be a resource to help sift through the multitude of information coming from a whole food approach first and foremost. Additionally, I wanted to celebrate the individuality of each client through my recommendations and guidance. No two bodies are the same so providing personalize solutions is top priority! After a couple of years working strictly on nutrition, I added in movement, specifically as a personal trainer certified in functional movement. All of that to mean, I help people move how they want, reduce risk of injury and live their lives with movement that makes them feel good! Throughout my years in these fields, I’ve also been certified as a Health and Wellness Coach to incorporate all of the habits and routines that are available to enhance our overall health! At B Well, I offer Individualized Holistic Nutrition Plans, Personal Training and Wellness Coaching.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would start with a trip to Westminster to Renegade Burrito, a small franchise built from my hometown, Fort Collins. It is my favorite burrito in Colorado and I love that all the food is made in house, no canned or prepacked foods. My best friend and I are shoppers so we’d probably hit Aspen Grove to do a little shopping at My Favorite Things and Curate. I love the outdoors so hiking along the Platt or driving up to the mountains would be on the list as well. For a night out, we would check out the theater scene in Parker or downtown Littletown. For some relaxation, we’d visit Serasana in Littleton or Greenwood Village.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I am blessed to have an incredible support team that seems to strengthen more each year. From friends and family to therapists and coaches, I’m grateful for the love and encouragement from all. Two people in particular stand out as their support has come in strongest during the most challenging of days. My husband by far is my rock; the one who shows his support of me whether it’s cheering for me across a finish line or telling me how much he believes in me. The other person who stands out is my art therapist, Nikka. She has brought so much light to my life along with clarity and the ability to truly help me feel grounded. Nikka is an incredible soul and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the impact she’s had in my life.
