TESTIMONIALS

It has been so interesting and helpful to discover Ayurveda with Rachel.

It has been so interesting and helpful to discover Ayurveda with Rachel. The guidelines and advice all make sense and gave me a sense of taking control and doing the best for my (aging) body. It is a journey and not a quick fix but I have felt healthier and lost weight.

Rachel is very knowledgeable. She listens carefully to understand lifestyle, ailments and what you want to achieve and checks whether her advice is workable for you. I really appreciate her responsiveness and willingness to engage between consultations.

I met Rachel via a recommendation. I am a menopausal lady 56 years old and was having problems with skin itching. My skin has never been an issue before. Rachel put me back on track with dietary recommendations and Ayavadic herbs. I feel so much better and my skin rashes have calmed down. Thankyou Rachel for all of your guidance and help.

I consulted Rachel concernimg a growing issue with my digestive system. I have known about Ayurvedic Medicine for over 25 years, and felt comfortable seeing Rachel. She is profèsional, charming, thorough, and effective. The new diet needed full commitment from me: it most certainly worked. Rebalancing my digestion, and learning how to better manage it was well worth the whole consultation process.

Wow, wow, wow, what a wonderful stroke of luck to meet Rachel and discover Ayurveda.

I’ve had an interest in health, diet and alternative medicines for many years, so when the opportunity to work with Rachel came along, I was so excited.  

I presented Rachel with quite a challenge, from skin issues, sleepless nights, palpitations, brain fog, dizziness, and my recent diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.

I’m so grateful to Rachel for her professional, soft approach, her patience and many hours of dedication to find the best diet plan, herbal products, topical treatments and lifestyle adjustments to suit me.  

I would say to anyone, ‘don’t suffer’ try Ayurveda, it will change your life!

I was struggling with a really painful, itchy skin condition, which made me bad-tempered and miserable. Rachel’s holistic approach started the healing process, gently restoring me to balance with an individualised programme of herbs, balms, and diet and lifestyle advice. She is a really good listener and I felt in safe hands from the start.

MY STORY

My journey to Ayurveda began in the Far East, where I was working as a fashion designer. Struggling with chronic fatigue from Glandular Fever and burnout, I found myself drawn to the healing wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine. Exploring practices like acupuncture, cupping, and herbal remedies, I was deeply impressed by the practitioners' profound insights into my health and well-being.

 

This early exposure to holistic healing resonated with my own Chinese heritage and sparked a curiosity that would eventually lead me to Ayurveda. Although I initially encountered Ayurveda and yoga during my time in Hong Kong, it wasn't until a series of personal challenges that their transformative power truly unfolded in my life.

 

In 2011, I entered a challenging chapter marked by profound loss and hardship. Over the next three years, I faced the devastating loss of my mother to cancer, followed by my husband's diagnosis of an aggressive form of leukaemia. Navigating the complexities of his treatment while caring for our young children left me emotionally and physically depleted.

 

Amidst the turmoil, I found solace in yoga and a renewed interest in Ayurveda. Ayurveda's holistic approach, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, offered a path to healing and self-discovery. Through dedicated self-study and guidance from an Ayurvedic practitioner, I gradually began to rebuild my health and well-being.

 

Inspired by the profound wisdom of Ayurveda, I felt a calling to share this knowledge with others. Leaving behind my career in fashion, I embarked on a journey of formal training at the Ayurveda Institute UK.

 

Today, I am honoured to offer Ayurvedic consultations, drawing upon the teachings of my esteemed mentors, Dr. Deepika Rodrigo and Dr. Wathsala Wijesinghe. My personal experiences with adversity have instilled in me a deep sense of compassion and understanding, enabling me to connect with my clients on a profound level.

 

I believe that Ayurveda's timeless wisdom holds the key to unlocking optimal health and well-being. It is my passion and privilege to guide individuals on their own unique journeys toward balance, vitality, and self-empowerment.

"Your life speaks to you in whispers - that little nudge telling you something doesn't feel right. If you ignore it, the whispers turn into pebbles thrown at you, warning you there is a problem. If those signs remain unexamined, you will inevitably experience what feels like a heavy brick to the head. Shutting out the brick guarantees disaster will strike. You will see your life come crashing down like a brick wall. I've seen this happen so often in my own life, I now try to respond immediately, at the first whisper."
