I’m Rachel, I’m a healing guide and nourishment tender living in reciprocity with the earth on Hawai’i Island valuing compassion, reverence and integrity within all that I create. The work I do is supported by my deep connection to intuition and the natural cycles of nature. My life’s purpose is to cultivate nourishment within community and the natural world.
As a woman who has had to explore the depths of myself to heal from Lyme disease, co-infections, childhood trauma and chronic digestive issues, I know how difficult it is to make changes and seek the nourishment our mind, body, and spirits yearn for.
I was jolted into this work through my own health struggles. As a healing guide and nourishment tender the work I do isn’t only derived from the different healing modalities I’m trained in, but from a vast wealth of knowledge I have received through healing my own body. I know the inner fire and compassion it takes to look deep within and keep going even when it seems impossible to.
One of the greatest teachings I have learned from my journey was tending to my nervous system was the key foundation to healing. Through cultivating nourishing rituals my body began to feel safe, which supports deep regeneration.
Through my experience exploring many healing modalities I have found Reiki, Ayurveda, reconnecting to ancestral foods, trusting my inner guide and folk herbalism to be vastly supportive. This is why I chose to work with these modalities when supporting others.
Reiki helped me calm my nervous system so I could begin the healing process. It helped me create a safe space to ground into. Most importantly I was able to experience what it felt like to feel entirely safe and relaxed.
Becoming an Ayurvedic Health Counselor and learning how to implement Ayurvedic principles into my diet and lifestyle connected me to my body in ways I’d never thought possible. I was able to tune into different foods and their actions, making choices on what to eat based on my internal state on any given day or season, feeling empowered by my choices.
I also honor the deep relationship I have developed with plants and their healing powers both on a physical and emotional level. If we take the time to work with them consistently we can experience huge life changes and immense healing. Teaching others about their medicine is one of my greatest joys.
Healing is layered and the little shifts that happen support the whole. My approach when supporting clients isn’t providing a quick fix, but rather exploring the depths of what would be most nourishing over time and getting to the root cause of the imbalance. Thanks for listening to my journey. I look forward to learning more about yours!
