Welcome! I’m Rae, and I’m happy that you are here.

Before coming to health coaching, I was a social worker. I quickly became overwhelmed and constantly stressed working in this faced-past, nonstop crisis environment, and I judged myself harshly for these struggles.

I was so used to this go, go, go lifestyle, so when health challenges forced me to slow down, I didn’t know what to do. I found myself moving between doctors’ offices, asking questions about hormones, mood, digestion, and energy, seeking the “answers” to each individual “problem.” However, I eventually started to realize how inseparable it all truly is. 

I began to see health not as isolated symptoms to fix, but as a web of connection: how the gut speaks to the brain, how stress reshapes the body, and how our environments and expectations shape our inner lives. Nothing exists in isolation, and neither do we.

I learned that healing doesn’t come from pushing harder or judging ourselves into change. It comes from awareness, slowing down, and untangling ourselves from society’s expectations.

Health coaching became the place where all of this finally came together. It’s a way to honor complexity without being overwhelmed by it and to support change without asking anyone to abandon themselves along the way. In fact, it helps us find ourselves.

Currently, I am working towards my NBC-HWC certification.
