Rachel Kutskill BA, CES, CPT
Owner & Wellness Coordinator - Fit Instincts
Columnist - Pueblo Star Journal
Wholistic Health Alliance - Lead Coordinator
Professionally, Rachel Kutskill is an experienced owner and wellness coordinator with over two decades of dedicated service in holistic health and wellness clinics. She is passionately committed to helping clients restore and maintain their health and quality of life through personalized movement and wellness programs, while also being actively involved in community awareness events that provide knowledge and resources for Pueblo’s wellness platform.
With over 20 years of experience in the health and wellness industry, Rachel wanted to encompass a deeper understanding of how the kinetic chain is affected by repetitive movements, prior injuries, emotional and psychological health, nutritional health, and the overall wellness of the whole body. Because of this, she pursued certifications and teachings of corrective exercise, aromatherapy, nutritional support and supplementation, various movement therapies and more. It is through these teachings she created Fit Instincts, a premier whole healthcare clinic designed to treat and teach through proper movement, recovery sessions, and whole food nutrition.
Moving the body in a functional way while increasing strength, range of motion and flexibility is the key to balance within the muscular self. These aspects of the body have become the focus with Rachel and her attention to details of each movement, each breath and every intention is how she has crafted her specialty.
Rachel is also a columnist for the Pueblo Star Journal, spearheading the Thrive column dedicated to fostering wellness and resilience within the vibrant community of Pueblo. She is committed to delivering insightful content that empowers readers to prioritize their well-being and navigate life's challenges with resilience. Rachel is passionate about highlighting local resources and initiatives that promote holistic health and thriving lifestyles.
Ms. Kutskill also serves as Lead Coordinator for the Colorado state chapter of Wholistic Health Alliance (WHA), a Boston based non-profit that educates, engages and empowers our communities to be healthier. WHA provides a robust directory to assist in the search for a holistic practitioner in the geographic region of choice. The bigger goal is to integrate into mainstream healthcare so as to improve consumer access and insurance coverage for the services rendered by holistic practitioners.
Rachel Kutskill works as a River Guide during the summer in Canon City, leading trips through the Royal Gorge. When she isn’t guiding for Whitewater Adventure Outfitters, she can be found on multi-day river expeditions and has been blessed to row boats down several sections of river and different countrysides including, but not limited to, the Grand Canyon, Middle Fork Salmon and Gates of Ladore.
Rachel uses her down time to backpack and hike with friends, ski during the winter, bike ride through town and walk the canyons to the south of the reservoir with her dog.
If there is one thing Rachel feels passionate about, it is living a quality life full of adventures and stories to share.
Rachel is one of the professional faces you see at Fit Instincts and loves to work within community events as well.
