Community Highlights: Meet Rachel Howry of Forever Healthy

Today we’d like to introduce you to Rachel Howry.

Hi Rachel, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today. 
Before starting my nutrition cafe, I was a first-grade teacher. One day, I walked into a nutrition cafe, and after tasting a peanut butter and jelly shake, I was hooked. I reduced my stress, GAIN 15 pounds of LEAN MUSCLE, and lost body fat!!! 

With my results, people were asking me what I was doing. I got my first clients just by talking to my co-teachers and principal. 

I enjoyed the business of wellness coaching, so I went full-time and opened my nutrition cafe Forever Healthy in Chatsworth. 

We recently helped some clients open their own nutrition cafe and gym with bungee fitness in the Valley! I look forward to helping others open nutrition cafes and gyms all over the world. Our mission statement is to change the nutritional habits of the world, one person at a time. 

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Building clientele and a business from scratch was very challenging, especially during Covid. I got creative, did personal development, and looked for new ways to build business. 

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us a bit more about your business.
I run a Smoothie Bar and wellness center. 

We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
Asking for the community to help both our business and the essential workers by donating healthy meal replacement shakes and immunity drinks allowed us to stay in business. I also stayed consistent with opening. I learned consistency with posting on social media was essential to stay in business. During the crisis, people in our community really began to realize the importance of nutrition, immune health, and our role in that!
