About

Rachel has been immersed in health since she left school to train as a Registered Nurse working for many years in the Emergency Department. She then went on to train and work as a Midwife and later as an Acupuncturist.

After 7 years of tertiary health education which include various diplomas, a degree, and a Post Graduate diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine all obtained through AUT she comes highly trained. Having 20 years of experience working as a Midwife in West Auckland prior and initially during her acupuncture career she is well known and respected for her expertise in Women's Health, Fertility, and Pregnancy. She is registered within the Chinese Medine Council of New Zealand as a Specialist in Women’s Health. Rachel is ACC registered and also treats musculoskeletal injuries and general health conditions.

Rachel has completed the Spinning Babies Aware training , which is an advanced course for experienced birth workers to help optimise foetal positioning. Her passion is to optimise comfort in pregnancy and help to facilitate normal birth.

Outside of the clinic, she can be found spending time with her family, walking, practicing yoga, or being in nature and she adores travel. She has an insatiable appetite for knowledge and often spends her weekends at seminars or with her nose in a textbook.
