• ABOUT RACHEL:Rachel comes from a background of 28-years’ experience in the media industry as a writer and columnist for a string of New Zealand’s biggest media organisations. She won New Zealand’s best social issues journalist of the year award during her journalism career. She still writes for magazines in the niche of wellness.

  However, these days, Rachel is more often the one being interviewed by media as a wellness expert, who runs her own company Inspired Health NZ. A wellness coach and yoga & mindfulness teacher, she runs corporate wellness workshops and speaks at events, festivals, and expos on how to elevate your wellbeing. Her advice is always research-backed and highly relatable. She runs retreats to help Kiwis with relatable tools on how to be more resilient, healthier, happier, and to live more vibrantly alive.

  Rachel has been co-leading retreats for 6 years in the North and South Islands of NZ to a string of rave reviews. A recent Herald review dubbed one of her recent retreats as “a game changer” and “the most calming and relaxing experience ever”.

  Rachel has found herself viewed by companies and brands as a “wellness influencer” over the past ten years and has loved trying lots of new products out on the market. This has led to her partnering with a number of brands that care about elevating the wellbeing of Kiwis. Rachel gives a stuff about not stuffing up the planet, and as a self-confessed “girly-girl”, she only backs brands that deliver on an exceptional experience too.

  Ultimately, Rachel wants to inspire Kiwis to live life more in balance one tiny step at a time. Focus on progression, not perfectionism.

  A published author, Beatnik Publishing released Rachel’s book Balance: Food, Health + Happiness two years ago, which includes 30 global experts sharing research-backed advice on how to live life healthier, happier, and more mindfully. The book includes advice from nutritionists, psychologists, professors, neuroscientists, emotional intelligence experts to happiness researchers, as well as hacks on more sustainable living.

  Rachel gives back to charities where she can and is currently a board member for Disability Sport Auckland (which provides sport, recreation and play opportunities for peope living with a disability) She is also an ambassador for a charity where she helps guide athletes with diabilities through marathons.
