A little note from Rachel.....
Firstly I want to say thank you for landing on our 'Consultations' page, showing up with an open and inquisitive mind is often the first and most difficult step to healing...I understand that every individual has their own complexities and barriers to healing but they also have their own unique strengths that aid in healing and we look forward to uncovering your strengths and working with you to achieve your health goals no matter how big or small.
I work with clients of all ages and with a variety of health concerns, however my special area of interest is in womens health, helping women to:
~ achieve radiant and glowing skin and hair without the invasive procedures
~ reclaim their energy and vitality
~ balance hormones
~ improve cognitive function
I also love working with little ones, offering gentle naturopathic care tailored specific to their needs.
-
Recurrent colds, coughs, gut issues, eczema
-
Behavioural or emotional challenges
-
Sleep disturbances, food sensitivities, immune issues
With a calm, child-centred approach, I support children’s bodies and nervous systems using safe herbal formulas, nutritional repletion, and family-friendly guidance. Shorter consults available for kids + parent-child bundles.
Another special area of interest is brain health and cognitive function.
Because mental wellbeing is physical wellbeing, too.
I support:
-
Anxiety, sleep issues, overwhelm, burnout
-
Cognitive fog, low motivation, hormonal mood shifts
-
Support for nervous system regulation, stress tolerance & clarity
Together, we look at the root causes — not just the symptoms — and support your brain, body and gut to work in harmony. Herbal support, brain-nourishing nutrients, and trauma-aware lifestyle strategies help restore clarity, calm and vitality.
​
If you're ready to jump in and let me take this journey with you, I am honoured and look forward to working with you. If you are still unsure if I am the right for you and your health goals feel free to book a quick 10 min 'Clarity Call' and we can discuss your concerns and options.

Initial Naturopathic Consultation
allow 60 minutes | Telehealth (video chat) / In Person / House Call

Health concerns and wellness goals will be outlined including pathology referrals where appropriate.
A comprehensive individualised treatment plan will be provided in line with specific short and long term health goals.
True healing takes time and as such, patience is needed and a follow up appointment is recommended to adjust herbal prescriptions and/or treatment plan if needed as well as discussing any pathology results. A follow up appointment is especially necessary in chronic long term complaints.
