"Finding what makes you feel happy + healthy in your mind + body is the goal of our Awareness Plan. There is no one way to get there and the best part is that we get to find YOUR own special way together..." #FindYourWayWithRae #withRae

Dear Reader, 

Since childhood, I found a love and passion for playing sports and dancing. 

As I grew older I became very fond of making the connection between food and fitness -- 

the body and performance. 

In my teens and early 20's I experimented with my body with different diets, methods of taking care of myself -- of the body -- and activities to keep it healthy and happy. 

By 2009, I found myself advising others with their own bodies in order to achieve their goals at the gym. By 2010, I was  answering emails and comments every single day for anyone online from the 30,000 followers on @ONERAEORANOTHER / @ONERAE2FIT and my personal wordpress and youtube channel at the time. 

2010 - 2014 I launched and fine tuned an online training program which led me into a very fulfilling journey in the fitness industry. From bodybuilding competitions to fitness modeling, personal training and piloting programs in a corporate setting to training independently in Orange County and all throughout the Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Francisco counties. 

I trained out of my home in Cerritos, brought mobile training to places from Rancho Cucamonga to Hollywood and  Group Trained in Lakewood and Santa Monica. 

Following fitness and all things wellness felt good to me. 

And as I gave more of myself to the trade, it gave back to me in tenfold. 

I've learned over time, that it isn't just "healthy body, healthy mind..." 

As I used this system to save me on the harder, rockier days. 

But after reading every self-help book on the shelves at Barnes and Nobles around age 9-13 and something I've carried into my 30's... as I was always trying to find ways to cope with life's challenges and stressors...  I realized with the help of diving into talk therapy (metallization / sensorimotor therapy ) 

with the help of amazing mental health professionals... that it was "healthy mind, even healthier body..." 

I then, found an immediate need to incorporate it into the way that I spoke to myself and the way that I spoke my clients; particularly the way that I designed and customized their programs. 

These days, as we advance in technology and find ways to making life faster, easier, more efficient... there's a portion of us that remains in returning back to the basics of what it means to be human... 

How we talk to our bodies, ourselves. How we look at our bodies, ourselves. 

Ultimately, how we treat it. 

We have to look at ourselves, our overall human experience and cater to what we truly want and need... because that's the TRUE GOAL. 

What I realized was that this goes beyond saying positive things to myself and my clients as I did in 2009, and getting them motivated towards their goals. 

It's about truly and deeply being empathetic, more compassionate about where we came from, where we are presently and why we choose to do the things that we do.

My new approach, is full mind, full body awareness that aligns with our soul -- our hearts' deepest desires -- a personal goal of mine every day and my goal for any person who decides to approach their lifestyle with a positive change with me and the ONERAE family. 

When it comes to awareness, I love to try new things while keeping old methods that work and do my best to keep an open mind as every person and every body and every mind is different. 

If you've taken the time out to read this, I want to say thank you... 

Thank you for getting to know me and a little of my history... 

I'd like to say thank YOU... for being brave, diving in, and giving yourself an opportunity to learn more about yourself a little more. 

The mastery of the "self" takes time, takes different methods and takes constant effort as we are ever changing, ever evolving and ever growing. 

If you feel a little lost... unaware of where to start... just know that just by reading this or even being on this site, you've already started your journey. You truly are doing your best to be the best human in the world. I can see it. I can feel it. 

This is just the beginning of discovering just exactly what makes you 

feel healthy, happy, alive, aware and most importantly human. 

Here's to Opening New Energy and Raising Awareness Everywhere. 

See you soon honey, 

RAE
