“Rachel’s work is elegant, versatile, sympathetic, and liberating. I have received many compliments from staff and participants regarding her dance classes. When teachers have that kind of impact, it encourages me to hope that their work will gain a greater audience to widen the circle of healing and personal growth for society as a whole.”
