Welcome! I'm Rachel

I help people with chronic inflammatory issues find and treat the cause of their conditions. I know what it's like to struggle with inflammation, low energy and generally feel absolutely stuffed and unable to live life the way you want to.

When I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis back in 2014, I was very unwell. I could barely walk 10 ten minutes without needing to lay down and rest.

I was anxious, and I had heart palpitations. I was losing weight.

I knew something was wrong. I had known it for a while, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I was confused because I thought I had a fairly healthy diet and lifestyle, but it certainly wasn't healthy for me.

The doctor who diagnosed me with Hashimoto's said he couldn't really help me, and he recommended that I see a Naturopath.

This revived an interest in becoming a Naturopath that I had had when I was in my late teens. I decided to enrol in a massive undertaking I had never tried before and commenced studying my Bachelor Degree of Health Science in 2015.

I was quite unwell when I started studying, and could barely make it through a day without lying down to rest, but through the help of diet and lifestyle change, and targeted supplements, I started peeling back the layers to regain my health.

It took some time, but I started to improve. I made small gradual changes, because I wanted to be certain of what was actually working.

On my follow-up scan the following year, my thyroid margins were normal and there was only one nodule remaining. My energy had improved and I could make a whole day without having to lay down to rest.

I love being a Naturopath with Hashimoto's, as I have first-hand experience knowing how poorly people can feel when they aren't getting the right treatment.

I love being a health practitioner and health advocate for my patients, educating them and helping to guide them to thrive.

When I'm not writing content for courses to help people with their health, I'm off foraging for wild food or medicine and spending time with the trees. In a sentence I'm a nerdy tree-hugger.

If you need help with your health, I'm here to help. I work solely online and you can see me in the comfort of your home.

Although I post about special areas of interest, and especially love talking about my own journey and success with natural medicine, I have been trained to look at people holistically.

If you are seeking a practitioner who wants to help you treat the cause, please feel free to book in a free discovery call. It's a lovely way to connect and share more about how I can help you with your health goals.
