About Me

Hello. 

I’m Rajiv Harry, fitness, health & wellness coach in Portland, Oregon. I strive to be an inspiration and facilitator of plant-based healthy living.  

When life challenges us or invites us to try something outside of our comfort zone, it’s in those moments that we have the greatest opportunity to change our trajectory and grow in new ways. I found that by embracing change in my life it served as a catalyst for positivity and greater happiness. This mentality quickly became the fuel behind my purpose and calling to help others through fitness, health and wellness.

Before I learned self-discipline and how to show up for myself, it was much easier for me to coast through life on auto-pilot. How I spent my time, the food I ate, the people I surrounded myself with were all devoid of any forethought. In an effort to break this cycle, I challenged myself to join a bootcamp that was, in my mind,  far outside my fitness level and comfort zone. By continually showing up to this training program I started noticing positive changes in my habits and became more aware of my body and the effects of food, environment and how stress impacts our overall health. 

I joined the fitness industry as a NESTA Certified Personal Trainer in 2013, and started helping others reach their fitness goals through personalized training programs and effective fitness coaching. Through my experience as a trainer, I’ve guided and supported people from all walks of life and have experienced many of the mental and physical barriers others face on their journey to better health. When I see the progress and self confidence grow in my clients because they’ve chosen to align themselves mentally, physically and nutritionally I feel incredibly grateful to share in their happiness and growth process. 

Prior to joining the fitness community, ten years of my life were spent working as a chef for a thriving catering company. In 2016, I pursued a Precision Nutrition Certification, which was a natural progression and expanded my knowledge on how food helps us live longer and thrive. The epidemic of obesity, cancer, diabetes, chronic and metabolic diseases contributing to the dissolving health of the population is one of the primary reasons why I’ve adopted a plant-based lifestyle for me and my family. In 2019, I completed my Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate through the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and continued deepening my focus on the whole person. Now plant-based nutrition is an essential part of my programming.

Embrace Change is a culmination of all my life experiences, extensive training and desire to help others create the healthiest existence possible. I strive to create a community that inspires you to unlock the best version of yourself.
