Rachel’s Story
Read about Rachel’s transformational VIP Weekend experience.
Hello everyone! My name is Rachel Einhorn. In a life time, a person may get lucky enough to meet an extraordinary individual that guides you and makes a huge impact in your life. I feel blessed to have met ANNE Poirier!!! She is an Angel on earth for others that meet her.
When I first met Anne, I was attending a retreat in Vermont. She was teaching classes about self-care and the importance of it and how dieting can be a word of the past. This was an extremely difficult concept for me to grasp, and that is why I originally attended this retreat. I grew up in an environment where self-care was called being selfish, and that the only way to be was to be thin, pretty and happy all the time.
For 40 some years, I felt that I had no choices. I notoriously would pick on myself by trying to live with this expectation. I became lonely, exhausted, and afraid to be seen. I hid and gave up many opportunities that would have brought me joy. I felt an extreme loss of self. It was as if my soul was screaming for change, but I did not know what it looked like. Whenever, I was introduced to a new person in my life, the first thing they would comment about was my looks. So, you know where this is going? I developed an eating disorder. To feel loved and to receive respect was only given to you if you were thin and gorgeous.

When in Anne’s company, I feel a sense of calmness and peace. She truly listens and cares about her clients and treats each one differently to help them achieve body acceptance. She has taught me that whatever size you are doesn’t matter. She emphasizes to feel joy, and to let go of dysfunctional thoughts that will sabotage my self-worth.
Anne has given me the tools to challenge those negative feelings with self-love and compassion.
I was privileged to have experienced a VIP weekend with her in Maine. She treats you like a best friend and spoils you with her undivided attention. While in her presence, I felt non-judged, calm and eager to learn her way of life. When I arrive in Maine, I am greeted with open arms and huge smiles from Anne. I could literally feel the stress melting away. She put beautiful colorful flowers in my hotel room with a kind welcome letter. I felt like a Queen!
When I left Anne to go back home, I took with me a sense of gratitude for life. I felt I had hope. She authentically showed me a better way of living my life by embracing play and finding ways to achieve joy. She helped me realize that the past does not define who I am today. Anne has shown me what it’s like to be in a positive head space. She emphases the importance of having choices and flexibility. This way of thinking has created a lightness in my soul.
While working with Anne, I learned how to nourish my soul and to take care of myself in a non-judgmental way. Self-care and self-forgiveness were the stepping stone towards nourishing myself growth. I have also learned that I have the right to choose my own path and have a right to challenge those thoughts that would ultimately create less stress, rigidity, and disconnection. The mind is so powerful!! The trick is to use it towards your advantage.
Anne is truly a gift to me and her impact I know will flourish inside me for the rest of my life. Thank you, Anne!!
