Rachel feels there is a loss of human connection and quality in so many aspects of society today. Women’s health is a vulnerable realm, and begs to be addressed with dignity and individualization. She believes in both evidence-based care as well as making women’s health a positive and comfortable experience. She does specialized pelvic exams with assessment of pelvic tone and breathing, Pap smears, and microscopic exams, as well as basic (thyroid, anemia, etc) and comprehensive functional medicine testing like stool testing, nutrient testing, and mold testing.
She additionally is a certified prenatal yoga instructor through Yoga Alliance and teaches Integrative Coming of Age Classes for girls age 9-19 years.
