Hey there, fabulous ladies! I’m Raquel, the founder, connector, and event coordinator of Women’s Vitality Network (WVN). I'm also your passionate, dedicated, and slightly quirky wellness guide on this exciting journey towards a healthier, more vibrant you!

More About Me

From the age of 16, I’ve been diving into the world of hospitality, working in fine dining, coordinating five-course events, hosting weddings, and organizing company parties. Whether it’s setting up, serving, or cleaning up, I love making people feel welcomed and safe. There’s nothing like gathering around a table full of delicious food and drinks, engaging in deep conversations—this is my ultimate passion in life. I can't wait to meet you at one of our fabulous events and share this joy with you!

My Sparkling Journey in Fitness

My adventure in the fitness world began in physical therapy, where I spent three enriching years as a trainer. I polished my skills at the renowned Gray Institute®, a leader in Applied Functional Science, diving into the magic of physical movement and human function. From leading heart-pumping group fitness sessions in Spokane to guiding classes of over 30 fabulous people and corporate personal training with Injury Free at Community Transit in Everett, I’ve worked with a wide variety of individuals. This diverse background has made me a champion of safe, effective workouts tailored to your unique needs.

Creating Connections with WVN

The idea for Women’s Vitality Network was born from my desire to make meaningful connections with women in the valley. WVN is all about empowering women through group events, workshops, and networking. We aim to help women connect, whether for friendship or business, and create a supportive, vibrant community.

The Birth of Wellness Babes

To make our mission even clearer, I created Wellness Babes, our sister company. While WVN focuses on group events, workshops, and networking, Wellness Babes is all about wellness fitness, wellness retreats, and workshops. This separation allows us to provide focused and specialized experiences for all aspects of women’s wellness.

My Vision and Dreams

I’m thrilled to work with you to design a program that fits your lifestyle and budget. My ultimate mission? To grow a supportive community, open an all-women’s gym in Yakima, and host annual retreats. But every epic journey starts with a single step—or in our case, a fun consultation! So, let’s see if we’re a match made in wellness heaven.

Thanks for getting to know a bit about me. Now, it’s your turn. Let’s embark on this wellness adventure together, one step, one laugh, and yes, even one cuss word at a time!
