Raquel MetzkerCoach
Pilates Instructor
Raquel is originally from the Northeast region of Brazil, where she got her Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Therapy in 2011. For over a decade, she worked with chronic back pain, gaining valuable experience treating acute, sub-acute and post-surgical spine cases. Her passion for anatomy and later for orthopedics led to her specializing in osteopathy. She is also a Certified Contemporary Pilates Instructor, practicing for more than 8 years using a physical therapist approach. She believes that aligning Pilates with physical therapy builds body awareness and confidence for the patient throughout the healing process, helping them achieve their goals safely and efficiently. Coming from a tropical climate, Raquel chose Florida to be her second home for the same reason. During her free time, she likes being by the ocean, spending time with family and friends, outdoor activities and travel.
