Board-certified Holistic Health Practitioner.
Bioenergetic Specialist. The whole human behind Naturally Rach.
I'm a Minnesota kid raised on hot dish, Kool-Aid, Captain Crunch and cheez-wiz. Which, for the record, is one hell of a launchpad for a holistic health career.
I wasn't born "crunchy". Nobody in my family used herbs. There were no homeopathic remedies in the medicine cabinet, no kombucha brewing in the pantry, no muscle testing happening over the dinner table. I came up the same way most of my clients did, and I mention that for a reason.
It starts with the food we were given growing up. The antibiotics we took for every ear infection. The products we put on our bodies before we knew what was in them. The medications that got handed to us before anyone really asked what was actually going on. That's the foundation most of us are working with by the time we get here.
My path to this work wasn't a straight line. And the longer I work with women, the more I realize that was the point.
THE BEGINNING
I was about 16 when anxiety first showed up. I didn't have language for it yet, just the constant sense that something was off and I couldn't figure out how to settle it. What I did notice was that exercise made me feel better. Not just physically, but mentally. I'd go to the gym, move my body, and feel like a happy person again on the other side.
That was the first time I understood there was a real connection between what I did with my body and how I felt in my head.
Nobody warned me what putting a teenage body on anxiety medication and birth control long term might do. To be fair, I didn't ask. Didn't know I should have to. I figured I had it handled.
(Spoiler.)
What followed was a long stretch of doing what I thought was right on the surface- eventually a degree in Exercise Science, working in fitness, taking the supplements the industry was pushing- while underneath I was partying, numbing, and quietly compounding everything that was about to come due. There was a hard chapter in there that would take years to process and unravel. I'm not going to lay it out here, but it's part of why the pivot, when it finally came, was so total.
Find me still tending to my mental health via fitness.
AND THEN...
That came around age 26. I moved to a new city for the job I'd been working, and pretty quickly realized I needed to said job. was draining me in every way. In January 2018, I took a position as a chiropractic assistant. My first professional toe in the holistic world. I didn't love that specific job, but I loved being near the work.
Around the same time, I made another decision. I was done with anxiety on autopilot. I wanted to actually do something about it. Naturally. I started doing the research, asking the harder questions, and rebuilding from the inside out. Where did I start?
Herbs kept coming up. And Reiki. Reiki kept coming up.
So I booked a distance Reiki session with a local practitioner. Didn't even meet her in person. And walked away from it knowing I'd eventually need to learn how to do it myself.
WHEN MY BODY CALLED THE QUESTION
Digestive symptoms cut through me every time I ate. Brain fog like a literal cloud sitting in my head. Fatigue that had me napping through entire afternoons. The acne I'd had since my teens still rearing its head. Not to mention a decade of birth control, so who knew what my hormones were actually up to. The anxiety came back even louder than before. Some days I just slept through the day because that was the only thing I could manage to do.
I tried what I thought was healthy, including a vegan year that, ironically, completely tanked my gut and took another two years at minimum to repair.
I was working at a boutique fitness studio at the time, training women one-on-one and high school female athletes at night. Everywhere I looked, I kept noticing the same gap. Women doing all the things they thought they were supposed to do, and still feeling subpar. The information they'd been handed wasn't matching the reality of their bodies.
I was one of them.
WHERE THINGS STARTED TO SHIFT
I was skeptical. Very skeptical. But I was already neck deep in the holistic rabbit hole, so I let myself be curious. I started running scans. First on clients at the studio. Then on myself. Then on friends and family.
What kept showing up on paper matched what people were feeling in their bodies, sometimes down to details they hadn't told me. I knew this was something special.
Aside from immersing myself in learning and utlizing bioresonance, what helped me start to heal wasn't one thing. It was the slow, intentional layering of a lot of foundational shifts: slowing the hell down, cleaning up my water, investing in non-toxic products, eating actual food my body and cells could use, learning to eat intuitively instead of by whatever the latest plan said, being consistent with protocols, leaning into muscle testing, and finally doing the emotional work I'd been avoiding for years.
WHAT CAME NEXT
In 2020, I went all in on Naturally Rach. By the beginning of 2021, I'd opened my in-person practice in New Ulm alongside the virtual one. From that point forward, the work and the training have run in parallel: see clients, learn more, refine, repeat.
WHICH BRINGS US TO
The lens I'm looking through is energetic and whole. I'm not zoomed in on one symptom or one system. When a new client starts working with me, I'm looking for patterns. I'm taking in every detail of her life, what her body is saying through symptoms, what her energy is saying through subtler signals.
In my practice, this looks like running bioresonance scans, building personalized protocols, and using Mind Body Spirit Release to clear the emotional and energetic blocks that hold the physical stuff in place.
Because emotions hold weight. I've watched bodies let go of things after an emotional release that no protocol alone could budge.
The Exercise Science background is still quietly underneath all of it. So while my lens is largely frequency-based, the foundation it's sitting on top of is also structural and scientific. Both, not one or the other.
MY METHODS, MODALITIES AND TOOLS
YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
The reason I do this work is bigger than helping women feel better, though that part is what lights me up the most. There is no message I'd rather get than the one that says:
I could write the most beautiful book with all of the incredible stories and transformations I've witnessed in my practice. Messages like these will never get old.
But there's something else I've watched happen more times than I can count. When we're clearing this much out of the body- the physical toxins, the stressors, but also the suppressed emotions and the energetic blocks- the body becomes a clear channel.
The women I've worked with have walked themselves into actual spiritual awakenings during the process. Their lives shift in ways neither of us could have predicted at the start, because they now have the capacity to hold more light and move through life at a higher frequency.
And honestly, that's part of why this work feels sacred to me.
When a woman's body and energy are working with her instead of against her, she gets to actually step into who she is. Who she's meant to be. Who she wants to be. Without the cloud of not feeling like herself sitting on top of every decision she makes.
That ripples into everything: her relationships, her work, her parenting, her sense of what's possible. And it ripples generationally, because when a woman has the actual lived understanding of how her body works, that becomes part of the legacy she hands down.

LASTLY
I'm still in it. Still doing my own work. Still figuring things out. I don't have it all figured out, and I'm not interested in pretending I do.
The work is real, ongoing, lifelong.
That's the honest truth of it, and that's how I want this work to feel.
