She listens with intention, and provides steps and plans that are actually manageable so I never got overwhelmed and was able to make progress with my diet. My energy is up. My brain fog is gone, and I am just feeling so much better due to actioning her recommendations. I seriously can't recommend her enough!

C. C.

Rachel at Brain Belly Wellness in Portland is a Godsend. I've been a client for a year and can attest to her passion for guiding her clientele in reaching their health and nutrition goals, which ultimately has lead me to a happier and healthier life. I've found that setting goals can only get you so far without support, and Rachel is the real deal. She is compassionate, fair, professional, and truly cares. So happy to have found Rachel, because I'm more healthy and feeling better than I have in a long time. She is teaching me how to take care of myself and holds me accountable to my goals. I cannot thank her enough, because I honestly feel I'm going to live LONGER now with her guidance!

Rachel has worked with me through my nutritional needs in many different seasons of my life. I love being her client as she makes me feel heard and she truly cares about my health and well-being. Her knowledge in what she does has improved my quality of life. Having guidance with my nutrition has been a blessing and I could never thank her enough!

J. R.

Rachel really took the time to understand some of the unique aspects of my digestive, sleep, and anxiety issues and address them from a very positive and personalized approach. At no point did I feel like she was just going down a list and checking boxes and every visit it was apparent that she took the time to do research and prepare for the next session.

FAQ'S

How do I get started?

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance at this time. In certain cases I can provide a superbill to you for possible reimbursement through your insurance company or employer, who may reimburse all or a portion of the cost.

I accept Flex Spending Account (FSA) cards, Health Savings Account (HSA) cards and health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) plans, which may cover the cost of services, supplements and/or labs.

When using FSA, HSA, and HRA's to pay for services, it is your responsibility to verify coverage for nutrition counseling with a functional nutritionist, labs or supplements. Your plan may require that you have a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from your doctor.

To increase accessibility to services, I also offer flexible payment plan options.

I don't live in Oregon. Can I still become a client?

Yes, but the depth and breadth of the work we do may vary depending on your state of residence. All sessions are conveniently provided through HIPAA compliant telehealth software, or by phone.

What is functional nutrition?

Functional nutrition is a holistic healthcare approach that integrates nutrition with functional medicine principles to treat and prevent chronic disease by addressing the root causes vs. just symptoms. This practice focuses on personalized care, considering the unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors of each individual.

Key aspects include:

  • Treating the body as an interconnected system rather than isolated organs, and promoting overall wellness by understanding how different body systems interact with one another.

  • Emphasizing customized nutrition plans based on individual needs, which involve consuming a diversity of fresh, whole foods tailored to support optimal health and address specific health concerns.

  • Integrating whole food nutrition, supplement and lifestyle strategies alongside other conventional/alternative treatment plans to enhance healing, promote health, and prevent disease.

  • Focusing on the patient's unique health history and individual needs to create effective treatment plans that promote sustainable lifestyle changes and improved long-term well-being.
