About
My name is Rachel Santos, EdD, and I created Weekend Reclaimed to give busy women their weekends back.
I’m a working woman who loves the city of Indianapolis—and I deeply admire the women who power it. I truly believe women can have it all. And as I work toward building my own dreams, I wanted to create something that also lifts the women around me.
Weekend Reclaimed started with something simple: I created the system I wished I had. I love a slow Saturday morning—yoga, coffee, maybe a little thrifting. And I kept thinking… what if I could enjoy all of that and come home to a clean, calm space? That’s the experience I wanted—and now it’s what I offer.
Why I Care About This Work
During the week, I serve as an executive leader for Indianapolis Public Schools, and I also teach at IU Indianapolis. I love public education, but I know firsthand how full and demanding the week can be.
From school board meetings to long days of teaching and leadership, I’ve lived the reality of coming home to a space that just didn’t keep up. So when I step into your home, I bring a no-judgment, real-life understanding of what it means to need a reset.
Where This Comes From
I was raised by a Latina who believed in a full Saturday reset—every single week. I remember laying in bed, hearing Prince, Selena, or Janet Jackson playing loud through the house, thinking, “Please get me out of here.” Now, I carry those same habits with me.
The details she taught me—the ones that felt unnecessary at the time—are the ones that make the biggest difference. Washing walls. Mopping baseboards. Taking the extra step. That standard is what I bring into every home.
What Makes This Different
Weekend Reclaimed is built around weekend-only home resets, designed for women who want a beautiful result without the extra effort. I focus on simplicity, soft finishes, and a calm, uncluttered feel—so your home feels like a quiet exhale after a full week.
I believe your home should support you, not ask more of you. Every visit is handled with care, respect for your privacy, and a genuine commitment to making your space feel lighter.
My goal is simple: You step out for a few hours—and come back to a home that finally feels caught up with you.
