Gut and Metabolic Health

Toronto

Hi, I’m Rachel!

I’m a Certified Nutrition Practitioner, gut health specialist, former elementary school teacher, and mom of two.

My journey into holistic nutrition began when my daughter struggled with eczema. Wanting to better understand what was happening in her body led me to explore the connection between nutrition, gut health, and overall well-being.

That curiosity eventually led me back to school to study holistic nutrition, all while balancing motherhood and a full-time teaching career.

But my passion for gut health became even more personal when I started experiencing painful bloating myself. I know what it’s like to feel uncomfortable in your own body, to question what you’re eating, and to feel frustrated when you don’t have answers.

Those experiences shaped the way I work with clients today.

I believe you deserve more than another restrictive diet or a temporary fix.

My approach focuses on looking deeper into what may be contributing to your symptoms through functional testing, personalized nutrition, and realistic lifestyle changes.

And after spending over a decade as a teacher, education is still at the heart of everything I do. I don’t just want to tell you what to do. I want you to understand your body and feel confident making decisions about your health.

Because my goal isn’t just to help you feel better today. It’s to give you the knowledge and tools to feel more comfortable, confident, and in control of your health moving forward.

A Trusted Guide to Wellness

I started working with Rachel.holisticwellness over a year ago. Compassionate, knowledgeable, always on top of the most recent developments in her field, Rachel has helped me regain my gut health and vitality. My skin is glowing, energy is abundant, and I can eat gluten and dairy again without bloating and tummy ache.

Four months ago, I had a hypertensive crisis with chest pain, arm pain, and difficulty breathing, making sports a challenge. Rachel created a personalized diet plan that completely changed my eating habits and lifestyle. Now, my pain has significantly decreased, I breathe freely, and playing sports is a joy again!

I can't say enough good things about working with Rachel. She has gone above and beyond to support me on my fertility journey, and I’ve felt genuinely seen, heard, and cared for every step of the way. Her thoughtful, personalized approach gave me so much clarity and confidence. For the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful about what's ahead. With Rachel’s support and the plan we’ve created together, I feel empowered and well-prepared to enter IVF in the future. I’m so grateful to have her in my corner.

Rachel is kind and welcoming. She created an environment that was judgment free and had great communication during our check-in's. Her meal plan was realistic to my lifestyle and provide me with new meals and recipes to support my goals.

I overall had a wonderful experience with Rachel and would highly recommend working with her! 😊

Rachel is an expert in her field. In just a few short days, I have already started to see results. She listened to my problems without judgment, and was available for me whenever I had questions. I’m excited to see where our journey takes us as we work together over the next few months. Thank you, Rachel!

Having worked with many nutritionists over the years as a type 1 diabetic managing my blood sugars, I can confidently say Rachel’s approach is both unique and comprehensive. She focuses on uncovering the root cause of health challenges rather than offering surface-level solutions. Before even receiving a plan, I filled out an in-depth intake that explored my lifestyle, biomarkers, and personal health history. Rachel works with clients who are committed, because she approaches this process with profound integrity and genuine care, always striving for the best possible outcome.
