Meet Rachel Goldstein
Rachel Goldstein is a Brooklyn native with an innate interest in movement. She believes in the complete unity of mind and body.
Rachel received a bachelor of arts in dance from Hunter College where she was formally introduced to the study of anatomy and kinesiology. Rachel discovered Pilates while healing a dance injury. She found it to be the best form of physical rehabilitation and functional movement training. Inspired to help others heal, she completed her Pilates certification through the Kane School of Core Integration under the direction of Kelly Kane. Rachel has studied with renowned anatomist Irene Dowd and has attended the FAMI workshop (functional anatomy for movement and injuries), held at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Rachel works with individuals who suffer from low back pain, disc herniations, scoliosis, joint replacements and various other injuries, as well as anyone aiming to maintain and enhance  their health, wellness, and everyday function.
 Committed to life-long learning, Rachel is currently studying to be a licensed massage therapist at the Swedish Institute. She is dedicated to making her clients feel at home and empowered in their bodies.
