A Cairns local through and through, Rachel swapped the tropical north for Brisbane to complete her studies—but home was always calling! Now back in the sunshine, she’s thrilled to have returned to her hometown and joined the Health Management Dietitians team.
Rachel believes healthy eating shouldn’t mean complicated rules, unrealistic expectations or giving up the foods you love. Her approach is warm, practical and personalised, helping clients make positive nutrition changes that genuinely fit into their everyday lives.
Outside the clinic, Rachel is an avid runner and a familiar face at Saturday morning parkrun—with a well-earned coffee and pastry firmly included in her post-run recovery plan! Food is a huge part of her personality, so when she isn’t baking sweet treats for the people around her, she’s usually studying the menu of the next Cairns restaurant on her must-try list.
Friendly, energetic and always ready to talk about food, running or Cairns’ best coffee spots, Rachel looks forward to helping you build a happier, healthier and more achievable approach to nutrition.
