Hi, I'm Rachael Jordan
Nice to meet you
Bia Beo = Food of Life
I have supported clients with terrible stomach problems, chronic skin issues, and hormonal imbalance for over a decade.
I’m obsessed with helping my clients achieve the transformation in their health they have been praying for. Stopping the IBS rollercoaster and gaining reliability, lifting the veil of inflammation on skin issues like acne & eczema, and balancing hormones to welcome a regular cycle free from pain. And my biggest obsession, supporting you to develop a deep connection with your body.
I have worked with countless amazing individuals to get their health and life back on track. I started to notice how supporting gut health had a profound effect on my clients improvement. This started my fascination with the gut, and paved the way for the development of my 5 step plan for improved gut health.
My holistic approach has proved successful time and time again, resolving persistent skin problems, chronic stomach issues and balancing hormones.
my values
I believe that everyone has the right to be connected with
their own body and to heal naturally.
My passion is helping people connect with their body
again and feel empowered to maintain their health.
I believe in the power of the human body to heal and the
medicine of plants and our food to support this healing.
My Journey so far
2008
Happily pursuing my education & Career in photography. I love being creative, I've always loved making things. But I always felt drawn to natural remedies and natural approaches to healing.
2010
I drastically changed my career path and commenced studies in holistic nutrition after my mind had been blown from a Detox seminar I went to. This coincided with a family member needing full time care at home, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to start a home study course.
2014
After nearly 4 years of study and training I set up my nutrition practice in Dublin 2, and called it Bia Beo, which is Irish for Food of Life. The name represents everything I wanted my business to be.
My Obsession with natural remedies and food as medicine was insatiable, I needed to know more
2014
I started my journey to become a Herbalist. I studied with Nikki Darrel in her magical herbal school in Co. Cork. I remember feeling like I had just walked into Hogwarts that first day I arrived! Just magical, no other words.
2015
My partner and I have always loved to travel and have adventures! We love experiencing other cultures and being immersed in the nature of our beautiful planet. I love learning about traditional remedies and cuisine wherever I go. And on this spectacular trip to Bali we got engaged! What a trip!!
2016
At the end of 2016 I graduated from herbal school and became a registered Herbalist. I was so excited to fold in this amazing skill to my practice and enhance how I serve my clients.
2017
True to ourselves my partner and I planned a destination wedding in Krakow, Poland! This was a city we both fell in love with when we first began our romantic relationship. And for our honeymoon, of course we travelled around Italy, France & Spain! Trip of a lifetime!
2018
Keen to ensure a deep connection with the plants I had learned about and was working with I completed a herbal apprenticeship with my teacher and mentor Nikki Darrell in Co. Cork. This was pure heaven for me, it combined all my favourite things; being creative and making herbal preparations like creams and balms from scratch, time surrounded by nature and deepening my knowledge of the plants.
2019
In 2019 my husband and I bought our house!! A dream come true!! My business was thriving, I opened up a second location in Dublin city. I remember thinking how blessed we were.
2020
The pandemic hit, all plans were halted and we were in a global lock down! I remember feeling like it was the ultimate snow day, that just never ended! Who knew it was going to last 2 years! I moved my business online and began to pivot how I was connecting with my clients, I developed new ways of supporting my clients and it was working really well. Location was not a barrier anymore. It opened my eyes to a new way of running my practice.
I'm on a relentless quest for knowledge, fuelled by an insatiable drive to master my craft. My goal is to enhance my expertise to uplift more people seeking my guidance
2021
During lock down I had the opportunity to increase my qualification in Nutritional Therapy to an Honours Degree. So back to study I went! This was a great challenge and pushed me out of my comfort zone, which is always a good thing. For my final project and dissertation I designed a study on the efficacy of mindful eating for the improvement of IBS symptoms. This is an area I am very passionate about, and it was exciting to be part of the ongoing research in this area.
2022
In October 2022 I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy, just a few weeks after handing in my dissertation! I am at the beginning of this new adventure into Motherhood.
2023
Starting my practice again after maternity leave & re-connecting with my clients and my passion for natural healing

What My Clients Say
Alison Duff
Rachael was amazing from the start. Super encouraging, honest and supportive. I learnt that I need to listen to my body, appreciate it and to not put myself down. I struggled with an eating disorder in the past and then gained a lot of weight over the past two years. I was feeling very down and didn't feel like myself. However thanks to Rachael that all changed.... When I started this journey with Rachael I didn't really think it was going to work...however I was so so wrong. I have never felt more in tune with my body and more like myself. The eatting plans and chats with her were the best 👌🏻 She really personalised everything to suit me. We even discovered that I had food intolerances and that once I cut those foods out it helped with bloating and water retention. I ended up loosing q good but of Weight and now have great eating and exercising habits to keep my journey going. So all in all a great program ❤ would definitely recommend 👌🏻
Olga Wicherek
Rachael is the first nutritionist I ever worked with so at the beginning I did know what to expect. This uncertainty very quickly changed into delightment (if I can use that word). I did a 3 weeks detox programme with Rachael which significantly improved my digestion as well as my wellbeing. The detox programme was a very interesting and eye-opening experience. It helped me understand much better my body and its responses to certain foods. Even though it's been a while since I completed it, its results are long lasting and I am still feeling great. I have learned so many useful things and I am now doing my best to apply them to my every day life. To sum up Rachael is a great specialist and a lovely person, I simply can't recommend her enough. Thank you Rachael.

I have been seeing Rachael for several months now and it simply changed my life! I went primarily to her because of skin issues- rosacea on my cheeks- and digestion problems. But answering her very thorough questionnaire and questioning my lifestyle, I realized I needed much more help than I thought. She helped me see how much changing my habits and food I eat have an impact on my skin, my digestion but also my moods, my energy and my mindset... After a few months, I feel like a new person with new energy and less sadness in me... and a much better skin! She taught me so many things I want to keep learning about. She really takes her time with you and makes you feel like you are her only patient. I can only recommend her: she’s supportive and knowledgeable. It feels good after the dermatologists and other practitioners I saw who didn’t help at all.

Before working with Laura on my business I felt unclear on my next steps should be. Now I have clarity, focus on my efforts and have had outside eye on my business which has really helped. Working with Laura was easy and enjoyable!

I have reached Rachael after almost 10 years of struggle with acne. She is so kind, lovely and sympathetic as well. She helped me fight the inflammation in the body that has been causing acne. I can highly recommend her, she is a nice person with great knowledge. If you are willing to find the root cause of your struggle and make amazing changes on your wellbeing, she is the right address. I've made serious changes in my diet and strictly followed her recommendations. She followed each step I took and interfered when needed. I am so happy with the results and I am so glad that I've met her.

I booked an appointment to see Rachel Aug 2019. I went from a size 20 to a size 6 and it's all thanks to Bia Beo and Rachel. Rachel's advice and constant guidance changed my life completely. In 2019 l was overweight, depressed, not sleeping, feeling nauseous all the time etc. I followed every aspect of her advise from fitness to me time, to healthy living and a positive life outlook, following a food intolerance diagnosis. Rachel wanted to learn so much and she was just amazing. I got my life back. Thanks from the heart Rachel and Bia Beo
Roisin Nic Giolla Ruaidh
I did the 6-week detox programme with Rachael because I felt I had hit a low with my health and needed to make a serious change. I quit smoking, gave up coffee, alcohol, refined sugar and gluten (which I never thought I would be able to do) for the duration of the programme. Rachael was so helpful and supportive - it made it so much easier than trying to do it on my own and now I have gained really good, healthy habits that have stuck with me even after I finished the detox.
Sandra Biłyk
I came to see Rachel mainly about some digestive problems, she has helped me with so much more though! My skin and mood improved, the fatigue went away and I have developed healthy eating habits as a result too. Working with Rachel was also very pleasurable! She is very knowledgeable and very reliable. On top of my detox treatment she shared great deal of tips that I put in practice ever since. Rachel thank you again for your help!
Carolina Graham
I went to see Rachael mainly because of skin and digestive issues, I was decided that I wanted to take a holistic way to heal and I did! I found Rachael's approach very positive and uplifting. Her knowledge and expertise goes beyond nutrition, and the guidance she gave me really helped. She has built a personalised holistic health treatment along with herbal remedies to promote healing. I’m extremely happy with the results we have achieved. She also makes personalised herbal teas that are amazing! It has been a pleasure learning from her.
Karol Manenti
I am so happy with the results achieved following Rachael's recommendations and remedies! She helped me get over 5 years of severe digestion issues in about 6 months following her treatment and guidance after trying multiple conventional treatments without success over the years. I really enjoy our consultations, she's very diligent and kind, couldn't recommend more 🙂
