My mission is to empower curious women to tune in to their own body’s intelligence, understand what it needs and recognise when it is signalling that something isn't quite right.
I want to help you to create a fulfilling, vibrant life – one that makes you excited to get out of bed in the morning!
Because, I believe that knowledge is power.
When you truly understand your body, you are empowered to make informed decisions about your health!

I’m an Australian-trained physiotherapist, nutrition and health coach and a natural fertility educator.
And I don’t want to claim to be smarter than Google, but when it comes to your body and your health, it’s best to steer clear from a one-size-fits-all approach.
Oh, and I'm obsessed with border collie cuddles, gluten-free baking and anything salted caramel
Hi, I'm Rachel
I was the girl who just went through the motions day after day –
eating crap, using the gym as a social hangout, drowning in the daily grind, stressed out of my mind and completely ignoring the warning signs my body was sending me.
Years of working 12 hour long days in a toxic management job I hated, combined with stress eating and over-exercise resulted in an autoimmune disease diagnosis that changed my life overnight.
I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease with no family history and only one month of symptoms. And the cause? Well, it turns out that stress can do a lot of damage.
In spite of my unsustainable work-life balance, I was tuned in to my body and quickly recognised that my pain, digestive issues and irregular menstrual cycles were a sign that something wasn’t right.
I sought second opinions and stayed confident until I got answers.
Oh, and I quit my job and never looked back.
Nope. Me neither.
Do you remember when somebody sat you down as a teenager and told you all about your body, your health and your hormones?

I have good news.
I'm here to guide you to a place where you'll understand your body in ways you didn't even know were possible
My life has completely changed since I decided to listen to my body. These days, you can find me cuddled up on the couch with my wonderful partner Dan and our border collie Bonnie, laptop on my lap, with a cold cup of tea next to me (because let's be honest, I never get around to drinking it while it's hot!)
And you know what lights me up most?
Helping women to feel enough, to feel confident in their skin and to celebrate how incredible their bodies can be. Because sometimes these health journeys can get kind of lonely... so, if I can be that person whispering in your ear "You can do this!" (when the rest of the world seems ready to watch you fall flat on your face)
- then I'll consider my job done!
Because all those secret, soul-stirring dreams you have for yourself...
Those things you’ve never admitted to anyone else about how badly you want them...
They’re possible. You deserve to have them all. But they start with you.
Which means they start with your decision to take control of your health.
Doctor Google allows us to self-diagnose in seconds. Bloggers and influencers are the new wellness gurus. Say something often enough and it eventually becomes fact.
It’s no wonder women are left feeling confused and overwhelmed trying to sort the fact from the fiction
There’s more free information available to women on every imaginable subject than ever before in human history. But if you’re not aware of what you need to know (and what is utter BS), or where to get the support you really need, all the free information in the world won’t help!
When it comes to your health, it is essential to work with a qualified healthcare professional - That's where I come in!
You are the only person that you will have a relationship with for your entire life. Be kind to yourself.
Your body is the only home you’ll ever know. Look after it.
There is no magic pill to make everything better.
Love and kindness are never wasted.
You only get one life!
If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong!
My passion (and biz) is fueled by helping women just like you to navigate all of life's major milestones
It's not just the mind-blowing knowledge about the female body that excites me.
