Women's Health Nutritionist & Herbalist
You’ve been to the GP. You’ve been told your bloods are “normal.” And you’re still bloated, breaking out, exhausted, and dreading your period.
Something’s not normal. Let’s find out what it actually is.
“I feel more in tune with my body and femininity than ever.” — Silvia, coming off the pill
"Your cycle is not something to fight—it's a vital sign."
Maybe you’ve already tried the supplement stacks, the seed cycling, the apps that tell you to “just track it.” Maybe a doctor has looked at your results and told you everything’s fine, while you’re still living in a body that doesn’t feel like yours. Maybe you’ve been given a diagnosis that doesn’t quite add up, or three pieces of advice that all contradict each other.
I hear this all the time, and I want you to know: you’re not imagining it, and you’re not broken.
I believe your cycle is like a monthly report card. A painful, heavy or missing period, breakouts before every bleed, bloating that never settles: it’s telling you something. I’m a nutritionist and registered herbalist, and I work online with women across Ireland and beyond to get to the bottom of what that is.
I look at the whole picture: your cycle, your digestion, your skin, your sleep, your stress and your bloods. Then we build a plan, bit by bit, that you can actually live with. Not a shock to the system. Not another restriction list.
What changes when we work together
You stop guessing.
Instead of piecing together conflicting advice, you get one clear picture of what’s actually going on — and why.
You feel properly heard, maybe for the first time.
Not rushed through a ten-minute appointment. Not told it’s “just stress” or “just part of being a woman.”
You reconnect with your body.
Whether you’re coming off the pill or tired of feeling like your body is working against you, this is about understanding your own body, not managing it from the outside.
You get a plan that fits your life.
Built around your symptoms, your history, and what you can realistically do.
You build change that lasts.
We don’t have to do everything straight away. We build on it, so it sticks.

Coming off the pill or hormonal contraception,

Irregular, painful, heavy, or absent periods
PMS, PMDD, or hormonal mood changes
Hormonal acne
or cyclical skin flares
Bloating, IBS,
or digestion that feels unpredictable
Fertility support
and preparing for pregnancy

or suspected endometriosis or thyroid issues
Feeling dismissed,
or confused by conflicting advice
Early perimenopause
changes in your cycle, mood, or sleep
1:1 Consultation - €110 (60 mins)
A great place to dip your toe in. Perfect if you’ve got a specific, simpler issue you want sorted, or you just want to see how working this way feels before committing to more. A thorough, personalised deep-dive into your hormonal health, gut health, skin, and lifestyle.
What’s included:
- Full review of your hormonal, digestive, and skin history
- Review of any existing blood tests, with guidance on further testing where it would genuinely help
- Tailored nutrition and lifestyle plan
- Support for period pain, cycle awareness, and coming off hormonal contraception
- Supplement guidance, only where genuinely needed
- Bespoke herbal remedies available at an additional cost
What you’re working toward: Clarity about what’s actually going on, a plan that fits your life, and the relief of finally feeling heard. Follow-up appointments (45 mins) are €80, usually 3–4 weeks after your first session.
This isn’t for you if: your symptoms are long-standing or overlapping, or you already know one session won’t be enough. The 6-Week or 12-Week programme will get you further.
“I really felt heard and taken seriously with everything.” — Bi Ki
6-Week Reset - €595

This isn’t for you if: your symptoms are long-standing and complex. The 12-Week Transformation is built for that depth.
“Her approach is to assess you and your individual lifestyle when making recommendations.” — Ciara, 6-week programme
12-Week Transformation - €1,500
For the long-standing things, the niggling symptoms that have always been in the background. Persistent PMS or PMDD, PCOS, hormonal acne, painful or absent periods, fertility challenges. You’ve tracked, cut out foods, pushed through, and it keeps coming back.
Twelve weeks gives us the time and space to build changes bit by bit, and to adjust as your body responds. By week twelve, I know your body well, and your herbal remedies evolve as you do.
What’s included:

What you’re working toward: Periods and symptoms that no longer run your month, and a body you trust again.
This isn’t for you if: you’re looking for a quick fix or a supplement list. This programme is for women who are ready to make changes, with real support behind them the whole way.
“Rachael gave me my life back and helped me to develop a connection with my body and my cycle.” — Aoife, 12-week programme
Not sure if this is the right fit for you?
My approach
I combine nutritional therapy, herbal medicine and lifestyle support, and I’m happy to work alongside your GP. If something in your symptoms or bloods needs a closer look, I’ll let you know, and we’ll talk it through together. I’ll look at any blood tests you’ve already had and recommend further testing where it would genuinely help.
Every herbal remedy is made by hand by me, formulated just for you, with supplements only where you genuinely need them. I keep my practice small on purpose, so I have the time and energy to give every woman I work with my all.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do online sessions work?
All sessions are on Google Meet. You’ll get a link when you book, and you can join from your phone, laptop or desktop, wherever suits you.
How often will we meet?
The 6-Week Reset includes three sessions. The 12-Week Transformation includes one every week. If a week is busy and you’d rather catch up by voice note or message, that’s fine.
Can I contact you between sessions?
Yes. On both programmes you have weekday messaging support on my business WhatsApp.
Do you work with women outside Ireland?
Yes. All my sessions are online, so I can work with you wherever you are. The only difference is postage for herbal remedies (see below).
How do I get my herbal remedies?
I make them by hand and post them to you. Within Ireland, postage is included in both programmes. With a 1:1, remedies are an extra cost. If you’re outside Ireland, I send remedies by DHL after your first session, usually a larger supply at once to keep postage down, and invoice you separately for the postage.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes. You pay a deposit when you book, then pay the rest in full or spread it out. 6-Week Reset: €298 at booking, €297 four weeks later. 12-Week Transformation: €500 at booking, then €500 a month for two months.
Which option is right for me?
If you have one specific question, start with a 1:1. If you’ve felt well before and need a reset, the 6-week is a great fit. If your symptoms have been around for a long time, the 12-week gives us the depth. Still unsure? Book a free 15-minute call and we’ll work it out together.
Do I need blood tests before I start?
No, you don’t need any bloods done before we begin. For many hormonal issues, though, I’ll recommend specific tests to get the full picture. Depending on your symptoms, these might include:
Thyroid: TSH, T4 and T3, and sometimes thyroid antibodies
Iron and vitamins: iron, ferritin, B12, folate and vitamin D
Hormones: LH, FSH and oestradiol (ideally on day 2–5 of your cycle), testosterone, SHBG, DHEA-S, prolactin and cortisol
Blood sugar: HbA1c
If you’ve already had bloods done, send them on before your first session and I’ll go through them with you.
Can I work with you alongside my GP or any medication?
Yes, absolutely. I do this all the time. There are some herbs I won’t use alongside certain medications, so I’ll always ask what you’re taking and plan around it.
Can I take herbs if I’m on the pill, trying to conceive, pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes, it depends on your situation. There are herbs I avoid in each of these, and I only use herbal medicine for specific reasons. In pregnancy and breastfeeding, I lean on gentler forms first, like herbal teas blended with herbs chosen for that stage, and handmade creams for skin. Stronger herbal remedies are only used if they’re really needed, and in the first trimester I’m especially careful.
What happens in the first session?
Before we meet, I’ll send you a questionnaire to fill in, and ask you to send any blood tests, scans or other results so I can prepare properly. In the session, I give you the space to tell me your story, and we go through everything together. Then we agree a plan: what feels manageable to start with, and what we’ll build on later, beginning with a good foundation. You’ll get your protocol in your own Google Drive folder, usually later that day or the next day.
Will I have to cut out lots of foods?
Not necessarily. It depends on you and what’s going on with your symptoms. We’ll only change what’s actually needed, bit by bit.
What if I need to reschedule?
I ask for 48 hours’ notice. Life happens, so I’m flexible when something genuine comes up. On the programmes, sessions can move within the programme’s timeframe: weekly calls on the 12-week can shift within that week, and the 6-week sessions can move within their window. Each programme ends after its six or twelve weeks.
Had a baby?
If you’re a mother in the months or years after birth, I have a separate space for you. Postpartum support →
