About Rachel
I've always been curious about what sits beneath the surface.
What is influencing this person, place, or system that we aren't immediately seeing?
It's a question that has followed me throughout my life, even before I knew how to put it into words.
As a kid, I wanted to be outside whenever I could. I spent hours in the ocean, exploring, hiking, taking road trips, and paying attention to the places around me. Nature wasn't something I thought about as separate from everyday life. It was simply part of it.
That relationship with the natural world has stayed with me—and today, it influences much of how I think about home, health, and the way we live.
Environment is everything.
You don't experience life in isolation. Biologically we are all wired to connect and interact.
You're constantly interacting with your surroundings: the home you live in, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the light coming through your windows, the materials around you, the places you spend your time, the people you share them with, and the natural world beyond your walls.
Those relationships matter.
I'm especially interested in the balance between modern living and our connection to nature. Our homes offer incredible comfort and convenience, but we also spend more of our lives indoors than humans once did. That makes me curious about how we build, maintain, and live in our spaces—and how we can bring natural elements back into everyday life through fresh air, clean water, natural light, healthier materials, plants, outdoor spaces, movement, and connection to place.
It's one of the reasons healthy homes and healthy building fascinate me.
A home isn't simply something you own.
It's an environment you participate in every day.
One curiosity. Many lenses.
My professional path has moved through healthcare, functional medicine, health education, marketing, real estate, home health, and astrology.
It isn't a straight line. I'm okay with that.
Each has given me another way to look at people and systems and ask the question I've always been asking:
What's influencing what I'm seeing?
In real estate, that might mean looking beyond the beautiful kitchen to understand the moisture, drainage, HVAC system, building materials, natural light, water, history, and location of a property.
In home health, it means considering how the different elements within a home interact rather than looking at each one in isolation.
In astrology, it means using the birth chart as another lens for exploring patterns, relationships, place, timing, and the different ways you experience your life.
And through The Parts Method, it means looking beneath a behavior or reaction with curiosity and asking what part of you might be influencing it—and what that part is trying to communicate.
Different subjects. Same curiosity.
I pay attention to the connections.
I don't believe my role is to tell you exactly how you should live.
I'd rather help you notice something you hadn't noticed before.
I ask questions. I look for patterns. I connect pieces that may initially seem unrelated. I take complicated information and make it easier to understand. And whenever possible, I leave room for curiosity, humor, and the possibility that there may be more than one way of looking at something.
Whether you're buying a home, trying to better understand the one you already live in, exploring your birth chart, or simply reconsidering something you've always assumed about yourself, the underlying intention is remarkably similar:
See more clearly. Understand what's influencing what you see. Then decide what makes sense for you.
And yes, I'm still that kid.
Give me an ocean and I'll stay in it for hours (and I want to learn how to surf ). I still love exploring neighborhoods, hiking, taking road trips, finding unexpected places, curating the perfect playlist for the drive, reading about something completely unrelated to what I was supposed to be doing, and noticing little details other people walk right past.
Apparently, curiosity has been the through-line all along.
Maybe that's why, after years of exploring health, homes, people, nature, patterns, and place, I keep coming back to one very simple idea:
Environment is everything.
And the more you understand what's influencing yours, the more intentionally you can decide how you want to live within it.
I'm glad you're here.
